This course meets the Maryland HQL training requirement. Students will be introduced to different types of handguns, safe gun handling, types of ammunition as well as the fundamentals of handgun marksmanship. We will go over Maryland laws and Developing a Home Defense Plan.

Marksmanship Simplified Lesson 1 introduces the new shooter to the fundamentals of marksmanship. New shooters will build familiarity and confidence, as all skills are taught in isolation to allow for maximum attention to be applied to the mechanics of shooting, rather than the context.

Marksmanship Simplified Lesson 2 is designed for those who are already familiar with firearms but are still looking for additional instruction with their marksmanship fundamentals. Shooters will develop a strong foundation for future courses where additional context (defensive, competition) can be applied.

This is a womens only class hosted by Eastern Armory. Instructors and students will be women only. This class includes the Concealed Carry Book. (If you do not have a firearm you can rent one for $25.00 with ammo, payable at start of class)
