DESCRIPTION

Class Flow: RELAXED (students can expect a slow pace as we focus on the fundamentals of shooting as a team)

YSINTG®  |  You Suck! It’s Not the Gun!® is our core firearms class. Developed after witnessing scores of shooters blaming their pistol sights for missing their intended targets, YSINTG shows how focusing on and practicing the core fundamentals of shooting will greatly improve the marksmanship of any shooter regardless of skill level.

This class takes pistol shooting back to the basics. In an attempt to focus on the defensive use of a handgun, many classes do not focus a great deal of time on the ability to place a bullet precisely where the shooter wants it to go. This class is aimed at fixing that. After this class, most students show drastic improvement in their pistol shooting accuracy.

This is a great class for new shooters or experienced shooters that need to go back and refresh on the fundamentals. “YSINTG” is one of our most popular courses, and it the course most repeated by our students!

Class: You Suck! It's Not the Gun!
Average rating:  
 54 reviews
 by Michael

Like every MDFI course I’ve taken, You Suck! It’s Not the Gun! was exceptionally well-instructed and thoughtfully structured from start to finish. The class begins with a strong focus on the foundations of precision shooting—pinpointing and correcting shooter-induced errors—and gradually layers in more complexity with each drill.

The instruction was top-notch, with the cadre delivering clear, constructive feedback throughout the day. What stood out most was the progression of the course: each exercise built directly on the last, reinforcing key skills and preparing us for the final, all-inclusive shooting evolution. That culminating drill really brought everything together and showcased how much each shooter had improved.

This course isn’t just about shooting—it’s about accountability, consistency, and discipline behind the gun. If you want to tighten your shot placement and gain a deeper understanding of what’s helping—or hurting—your performance, this class is a must. Another outstanding experience with MDFI, and I’ll absolutely be back for more.

I knew this class would be good, but I had no idea how much my confidence would increase just after 1 day of training with MDFI.

I feel confident about my accuracy, but also what I can work on independently (both dry fire and the range), so I can get better.

Throughout the day, we "built" our shooting technique, ensuring that we were competent in every aspect of accurately shooting a pistol.

This is the class everyone should take, regardless of skill level.

I'm planning to take higher-level classes from MDFI, but I'm already making plans with a buddy for next year so I can retake YSINTG!

The class name itself is honestly a great filter. There weren't many egos on the line that day. Everyone was there to get better, from beginners to the more skilled participants.

The cadre kept that line safe all day long and gave us a great learning and training experience.

Take this class!

 by Andrew

This class is worth way more than they charge. The cadre is tremendous, and so is the training. I struggled during class (that was a me issue), and the instructors never gave up and were always positive and encouraging the entire class. They kept working with me and helped till the very end. I learned a ton and plan to work on what they taught us and come back to this class in the future. The whole group was positive and safe. I saw everyone grow a ton in the accuracy and handling of their pistols. So if you ever worry, "What if I suck and don't want to look stupid" don't and come take this course. I had my worst day of shooting and still came away with a lot and feel comfortable going back. Plus I got to see the other teammates have their best days of shooting.

 by Steve

I had long wanted to take this class, and I'm so glad I finally did. I will be taking it again at some point, as well as the You Still Suck It's Not the Gun class. I had taken a few MDFI classes before this, and this one definitely improved my pistol shooting and fundamentals. I think everyone who owns or carries a pistol should take this class. It really is that good, even for experienced shooters. There were people who had taken this 3 times and are still improving. There's a reason so many people repeat this class. News flash: we all suck; it's not the gun!

 by Max

I sucked, not the gun. I came in shooting an embarrassingly bad group, and left with something respectable. I was very nervous, as I'm not a "new" shooter but I had 0 training, just a lot of wasted rounds at the range not understanding how to get better. After taking the class, I am not an expert by any means, but I have the ability to understand why my shots aren't going where I want them to. I also feel empowered to take more classes, and will definitely be taking whatever I can at MDFI. The amount of instructor care and attention was worth it alone.
