About Veretie
Veretie offers firearms training designed by a woman for women shooters who want to learn how to run their guns. I apply a principle-based approach to teaching pistol shooting fundamentals that allows students to develop an understanding of what’s happening, use their target as a diagnostic, and then adjust and adapt their skills. My classes focus heavily on stance, grip and vision for fast target acquisition and getting the gun to behave consistently, so you can shoot with speed and accuracy. Depending on how far you want to take your training, I also conduct more challenging outdoor training offering 180° of mobility, where you’ll learn to draw your pistol from a holster, reloads and clearing malfunctions. You’ll shoot on the move and engage multiple targets at various distances and angles. You’ll be pushed to shoot with urgency under time constraints. You’ll understand how to adjust the way you engage targets, applying different levels of confirmation, based on your skill level and the size, distance and risk associated with a target.

USPSA Match August 2024
First USPSA match coming off training with Ben Stoeger. All the doubles work paying off with 3 Alphas and 1 Charlie on the challenging hardcover disappearing targets. Had little time to engage these targets so it forced me to be more aggressive and shoot predictably, showing me I could have been a lot faster on the back 3. Scored 48/50 points; HF 5.60 placing me 5th out of 10 in carry optics.

Designated Target Drill August 2024
Designated target drill with wide transitions, distances from 5 to 15 yds, hard cover and no shoot to make it more challenging. Trying to stress my shooting. 7:80 all alphas. Need to push speed more to expose weaknesses.

Bill Drill August 2024
Love this drill. Tests my ability to get my gun out fast with a solid grip, bring my gun up quickly, index on target, keep my eyes locked on a small spot, and get consistent behavior out of my gun. My splits are in the .2s but still need to get faster on the draw before I hit a sub 2 second Bill.

MXAD Drill July 2024
Working on some new drills for this weekend’s PCSL match and upcoming USPSA classifier match. This drill is a variation of the MXAD. Targets at 5 and 15 yds. Eyes are moving aggressively from target to target. Focus is on making sure my gun lands on my focal point without over driving the gun and maintaining consistent grip pressure throughout COF.
