Courses and Private Sessions

"The purpose of today's training

is to defeat yesterday's understanding."

- Miyamoto Musashi

 

At Team OTO, we adhere to the principle of "Crawl, Walk, Run." 

Shooting skills are cumulative; shooting techniques and tactics are an amalgamation of multiple individual skills.   Our Course sequencing, and our skill building within each Course, are designed using that paradigm.
