**Ronald E. Avery** (September 22, 1956 – February 23, 2019) was an American [sport shooter](/source/Shooting_sport) and [firearms](/source/Firearm) instructor who took bronze in the Standard division at the [2002 IPSC Handgun World Shoot](/source/2002_IPSC_Handgun_World_Shoot) and bronze in the Standard division Senior category at the [2014 IPSC Handgun World Shoot](/source/2014_IPSC_Handgun_World_Shoot).

## Teaching

Ron focused most of his instruction on developing a doctrine for shooting called "Reactive Shooting Science", which he termed "the earliest way to get a hit and then do it again". He taught for various academies, for his own Practical Shooting Academy, and in 2013 founded the [Tactical Performance Center](https://www.tacticalperformancecenter.com) as a destination training academy centered around developing and teaching Reactive Shooting. He and others at the school created numerous videos on the [Tactical Performance Center YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/tacticalperformancecenter) that document the details of Reactive Shooting.

In 2007 Ron did a shooting seminar and practical course for the Bulgarian IPSC team, who was going to participate in the World Shoot France that same year.

## Death

Ron died on February 23, 2019, at the age of 62 from cancer,[3][4] and was remembered at the 2019 USPSA National Championship in [St. George, Utah](/source/St._George,_Utah), on September 24 2019.
