This course is specifically designed for those who are new to shooting or want to improve shooting skills. You’ll learn the fundamentals of firearm safety, situational and self-defense awareness, and gain familiarity with handguns—all while getting hands-on experience practicing essential skills.
The class begins in a private, comfortable instructional setting, followed by two hours of live-fire training at the range.
The main focus is on building a strong foundation in safety, proper technique, and responsible firearm ownership—so you leave feeling informed, empowered, and confident.
If you don't have your own handgun, you may rent one at the range.
