Methodology:
The methods taught by Dianne are based on being in “control” of every target by learning how to “connect” with each different type of target presentation. Base techniques are taught with a few core principles that can be tailored to allow the shooter to approach a target in the most efficient manner. You will learn how to balance the science of shooting with the instinctive “feel” part of the game.
