What You'll Learn
BASIC PISTOL COURSE - BEGINNER / REFRESHER COURSE
Are you brand new to shooting guns or maybe feeling rusty when it comes to your firearm skills? Do you know and understand the 4 Universal Gun Safety Rules and the 5 Fundamentals of Shooting? Can you perform the steps of properly holding, loading/unloading, racking, aligning your sights, shooting and properly clearing a gun? After this class - you will be able to feel comfortable with all those questions!
Join me for an incredible day of hands-on learning. We will build your comfort on guns by starting at my classroom location with all learning done on plastic yellow guns, as well as my laser training SIRT guns. This stress-free learning environment includes my unique Smokeless Range that uses laser guns that allows for real-time training, with 10 different programs and skills I'll teach you.
I'll also include gun cleaning, loading/unloading, holster draw practice, and we will have a chance to shoot live guns at the range towards the end of class.
PERK: Completing this course will gain you 8 HOURS CREDIT towards a future 16hour IL Concealed Carry Course taken with me (granted you take the second half within the same year with me).
Need to rent a firearm for the shooting qualification? Ask me about my rental cost that provides the ammo needed.
Cancellation Policy: Students should inform the instructor 72 hours in advance if they cannot attend and would like to reschedule the course to a future date. I allow up to one rescheduled class before students have to re-register. (No refunds available - All Sales are Final)
