IDPA Mastery Program

A structured program by Mike Seeklander: 55 lessons, each paired with the drills that measure it, so you can see the skill improving as you go.

In Shooting Performance the program is a sequence of sessions placed on the evenings you have, with the par times and the scoring built in, so you work through it one session at a time without planning any of it yourself.

Each session pairs Mike's instruction with the drills that measure it, so you can see the skill improving rather than taking it on faith. Finish a session and Tonight's Practice already knows what comes next.

What is inside

55 lessons, in the order they build on each other.

This is the program's real structure, straight from the library. Tonight's Practice tracks the same skills the sessions teach, which is how finishing one changes what you are given next.

How it fits your week

You choose the days. Your Week places the work.

Tell us which evenings you can dry fire and when you get to the range. Your Week puts the session's drills on those days, and when your results show a weak spot it adds practice there before moving you on, so the program bends to you rather than the other way round.

Thursday was not part of the session. Your Week added it because Saturday's Bill Drill showed that your draw was costing you more time than anything else.
