Are you ready to learn how to shoot a handgun? You are already an experienced handgun shooter? Great, this is the class for the novice and the experienced handgun shooter to learn the skills to significantly improve your shooting. Shooting a handgun is simple – stop the muzzle inside the target area, align the gun enough, and press the trigger without moving the muzzle outside the target area. It is simple, it’s just not easy.

Why is this a great class for the novice and experienced shooters? We will teach you the foundation of handgun shooting as taught by the winningest shooter who has ever lived, Rob Leatham. We’ve been taught personally by Rob and we’ve also been taught by one of his students, now his peer, Mike Seeklander; Will has been and avid student of Mike's for more than a decade and is now has been invited to teach with Mike many times, and accepted each time, for more than five-years, to include the FBI twice. Additionally, Will has trained many retired special operations personnel, retired law enforcement officers, and armed guards/executive protection personnel improving their handgun shooting.

This class is modeled off our Two-Hour Private One-on-One Range Session. We doubled the time and offering this as an open enrollment class.
