Classroom instruction inside. Lunch and snacks provided. Short drive to the range for practice and qualification. Bring your own eye and ear protection and dress for the weather.
We'll cover the basics of the concealed carry lifestyle and answer questions on attire, holsters, practice, etc. We'll spend time at the range doing some basic marksmanship fundamentals (as needed). We'll transition to drills, to include getting of the X (move then shoot), drawing from the holster, engaging multiple targets, and using barricades.
This class is for anyone who is interested in basic handgun operation and safety. It is for new shooters and those looking for basic firearms training. We'll cover:
- Firearms Safety
- Handguns and Ammunition (to include the right gun(s) for you)
- Shooting Mechanics (grip, stance, sight alignment, trigger control)
- Storage and Care of Firearms
- Range Instruction focused on Safety and Basic Marksmanship (target shooting)
If you do not own a handgun, one will be provided for the range time.
This course is for those who have short before but are either a bit rusty or would like to improve their shooting. We'll focus on fine tuning the basics (grip, stance, sight alignment, trigger control) with dry fire and then move to the range. At the range, we'll work on whatever the students need; basic skills, marksmanship, speed, drawing from the holster, moving and shooting, barrier work, etc.
