AIWB- Path to Performance 2-Day Course (Irons or Optics Accepted) / Prescott, AZ / September 5-6, 2026
Scott "Jedi" Jedlinski
Hosted by AJ Zito and Practical Performance
Day 1
Explore the efficiency and ergonomic advantages of Appendix Inside-the-Waistband (AIWB) concealed carry in our 2-day AIWB Path to Performance course. Day 1 covers a course introduction, safety briefing, and a deep dive into AIWB gear setup and its performance implications. You'll examine body mechanics, grip, and recoil control, and practice draws from various ready positions. The day concludes with an applied understanding of Fitts’s Law to improve target acquisition.
Day 2
Building on Day 1, students refine skills through advanced AIWB techniques: drawing while moving in all directions, drawing from seated positions, and reloading from concealment while stationary and on the move. The course ends with a pressure-based competitive stage to test and apply learned skills.
Note: Black Belt patch opportunities may be offered at the instructor’s discretion.

While this is the physical address of the range, it may be difficult to find via GPS.
Directions: If you are coming from the Phoenix area, go to Wickenburg to Highway 89. Turn North. Go through Wilhoit. There is a bar on the right hand side outside of Wilhoit called "The Burro". The turn-off to the range is 2 miles from this bar. Look for mile marker 297. Then look for forest service road 71. Turn right onto Forest Road 71.
If you are coming from the Prescott area, go to Highway 89 South. The range is 13.1 miles from the White Spar Safeway (450 White Spar Road, Prescott, AZ 86301). As soon as you pass marker 298 look for Forest Service Road 71 and turn left.
The roads are winding and the range can be difficult to find as it is in the middle of Prescott National Forest. Come class day I will post a sign at the range turn off (Forest Service Road 71).
Range Fee is $30 per student per day ($60 total); Payable in cash to host at beginning of TD1.
