A fundamentals-first course for newer shooters who want safe, confident handgun handling.
This course is built for students who want to become more comfortable with pistols, their operation, and the habits that make live-fire practice safer and more productive.
Instruction covers safe handling, ammunition, cleaning, storage, and marksmanship fundamentals so students leave with a usable foundation instead of just a one-day experience.
A youth-oriented variation has also been offered for teenagers ages 13 to 17.
Bring your handgun, ammunition, and any eye or ear protection you want to use. Rental handguns may be available if arranged ahead of time.
About 150 rounds is a good planning number so you have enough for qualification work and any additional repetitions.
The full course has historically run about nine hours including classroom work and range time.
No. Owning one helps because you can learn on the pistol you actually use, but it is not required.
Yes. Students 13 and older can attend, and a youth-focused version has also been offered.
