Advanced Concepts - July 2026 - Charleston, SC

Advanced Concepts is built for shooters who already have a foundation in competitive shooting and are ready to train like future Grandmasters. This course is designed for anyone from solid C-Class shooters up through Master-Class athletes who want to understand the deeper science behind performance and learn how to build a long-term training plan that actually produces results.

Instruction is led by Grandmaster Ryan Lee and one of his credentialed Master Class instructors, bringing students the distilled knowledge, systems, and training methods used by world champion shooters and the top instructors in the sport. The goal is to give each student the inside track: how to identify weaknesses, how to train to them, how to structure skill development, and how to accelerate the climb toward elite performance.

The weekend kicks off on July 4th with a USPSA match at Palmetto Gun Club. Students will squad with instructors who will advise, evaluate, and break down performance throughout the entire match. This gives each shooter a real-time diagnostic of their stage planning, decision-making, pacing, accuracy standards, and movement efficiency.

On July 5th, training continues at Live Fire Training Academy in Cottageville, where the full day is spent dissecting every major component of high-level competitive shooting. Students learn how to evaluate their own performance, how to spot inefficiencies, and how to build a training system tailored to their goals. We cover movement mechanics, accuracy at speed, throttle control, match strategy, mental processes, and the habits required to continue evolving long after the course is over.

By the end of the weekend, shooters will walk away with a sharper understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, a personalized roadmap for improvement, and the tools to begin training their way toward Master and Grandmaster performance.
