At Staccato Ranch, just outside Florence, Texas, Skills and Drills with Josh Luna turns a one-hour slot into a focused laboratory for improving pistol fundamentals. Josh Luna, a seasoned instructor on the Staccato Ranch Experience Team, leads small groups through target-based drills that emphasize trigger control, sight alignment, magazine management, and movement under time. The session is concise—one hour—but the coaching is intense: hands-on adjustments, immediate feedback, and measurable progress markers that keep shooters accountable from week to week.
The range itself is a practical, working training environment: multiple lanes, steel targets and plate racks, and open shooting bays that take advantage of the rolling limestone benches and scrub oak of the Texas Hill Country. That landscape matters—wind, glare off limestone, and midday heat are part of the lesson set, so you learn to shoot in conditions that mirror real-world variability. Flora here includes live oak and native grasses, and the ranch’s outdoor layout preserves sightlines that make movement and positional work comfortable and safe.
What sets this program apart is its rhythm. Held weekly on Thursdays from 5–6pm, the course prioritizes consistency and measurable drills rather than one-off demos. Josh’s coaching style—detail-focused and encouraging—helps both newer shooters and experienced marksmen tighten fundamentals. With groups capped at eight, you get individualized attention without sacrificing the energy of a group session; that balance creates visible gains in control and confidence.
Practical details matter: expect to bring your firearm, magazines, eye and ear protection, and enough rounds for several drills. There’s no frills—this is training designed for repeatable improvement. The ranch sits within a region long shaped by ranching and outdoor work, where hands-on skills and safe range discipline are part of the local culture. Whether you’re prepping for competition or simply sharpening defensive skills, the clinic gives you a reliable weekly framework.
If you’re traveling to Florence to train, the one-hour format lets you slot practice into a busy day while still enjoying nearby Hill Country roads and local eateries after your session. For shooters who appreciate focused, coach-driven progress and a landscape that tests more than just marksmanship, Skills and Drills with Josh Luna at Staccato Ranch is a compact, effective way to raise your game. Beyond raw technique, sessions emphasize mindset and safe range etiquette—how to plan reloads, manage malfunction drills, and read a stage while keeping teammates informed. Instructors track individual baselines so returning participants can see objective improvements in split times and accuracy. The group format also builds constructive peer feedback; students often swap coping strategies for recoil management and grip adjustments. Whether you’re new to formal coaching or a competitor sharpening a pre-match routine, the Thursday evening slot makes steady progress easy to sustain. See you.
