IJPS® NRA Pistol Instructors & Coaching Staff motto:
Mediocre educators tell. Good educators explain.
Superior educators demonstrate.
Great educators inspire
When we educate, we elevate.
Your job as a precision pistol athlete isn’t to shoot . . .
it is to aim!
Perfect practice makes perfect • Practice hard • Practice smart
