Shooting is all about the fundamentals.
This is where it starts.
This class will teach you the basic skills you need to operate a handgun safely and effectively. While many of us might consider the handgun to be a secondary platform, the unfortunate reality is that when we find ourselves in that lethal force scenario, our handgun could be the only lifeline we have.
This 12 hour course covers employing a handgun from the ground up. You will know the 7 fundamentals for shooting, and how each fundamental influences the end result. You will learn safe methods of moving with a loaded weapon both behind the line, on the static firing line, and in 360 degree, real world environments. You will learn how to load and reload your semi-automatic handgun. You will learn how to identify malfunctions and apply effecient, effective corrective action.
