What You'll Learn
This class is geared towards both new and less experienced students, as well as those who may have some previous firearms practice, but need help with putting it all together. This class is designed to take students from knowing little to nothing to feeling more confident and prepared to purchase and safely train with the handgun that's suited for them.
Some of the topics we will cover include:
- The universal safety rules.
- Understanding different firearm types.

- Identifying malfunctions and learning how to clear them.
- Fundamentals of marksmanship
- And more!
This class is right for you if:

What We'll Teach
Defensive Shooting Fundamentals
This lesson will continue with the basics, including a very visual overview of what we call the “building blocks” or the fundamentals for accurate and safe shooting. Within this lesson, Michael Martin will explain the differences between the skills required for being a good “marksman” at the range, and the skills that might be required to save your life if you are ever the subject of a violent attack.
