2026-05-04 LE Practical Shooting Pilot hosted by Firearm Logic at Tempe Police FTU Range

This session is a partnership between Firearm Logic and the Tempe Police Department.
Firearm Logic’s mission is to introduce law enforcement to practical shooting as a supplemental tool to their current training. Practical shooting emphasizes composure, fundamentals, and execution under pressure. Shooting matches expose deficiencies while developing processing speed, decision making, and consistency in fundamentals.
This pilot is designed specifically for law enforcement personnel who are not familiar with practical shooting or competition shooting. The goal is to make it accessible in a controlled, private environment.
Tempe Police Department is providing the use of their indoor range. Frangible ammunition is required and is the only ammunition permitted.
Payment will be made through PractiScore.
Priority acceptance will be given to first time practical shooting participants.
This session is open to all law enforcement agencies.

Equipment and Range Rules
Participants should bring their duty gear or a holster that properly secures their firearm. A minimum of two magazine pouches and three magazines is required.
This session will be operated as a cold range. Firearms must be unloaded at all times unless under direct command. No round in the chamber and no magazine inserted while on the range.
The only time a firearm may be loaded is at the make ready command when you are the on deck shooter.
Participants should bring approximately 200 to 300 rounds of frangible ammunition.
Session Structure
The session will begin with an introduction by lead instructor Dennis Tran, followed by an overview of practical shooting, hit factor scoring, and a safety brief.
Participants will then have 5 minutes to walk the stage and develop a plan. There will be no coaching during this time. This cold planning phase is critical for identifying how each officer currently processes information and makes decisions.
After the walkthrough, a Firearm Logic assistant law enforcement instructor will demonstrate a baseline run at an achievable pace.
Participants will then complete their first scored run.
Following the initial run, instructors will break down stage planning, movement, and execution. Participants will then re plan the stage with a new start position and complete a second scored run.
If time allows, participants may complete a third run for learning purposes only and it will not be scored.
The first two runs will be scored and uploaded to PractiScore for review.
Tempe Police FTU staff will be on site to assist with any non practical shooting matters, including Sgt Joe, Mike Lin, and Wes Reeder.
