Whether you are thinking about owning a handgun, are new to it, or are well on your way in your firearm journey, our goal in this class is to instill safe and responsible mindset above all else. This will translate into respect for the handgun (as familiarity with a firearm increases, respect replaces fear).
From there, we will cover firearm anatomy, suitable firearms for various uses, stances, grip, sights, and much much more. Each trainee will receive some group and some individual instruction to further you down YOUR path of safety, responsibility, and proficiency.
During the range portion of the class, we will cover basic shooting stances, grip, sight alignment and picture, trigger control, hold control, and more. If these terms are new to you, don’t worry, they are not complicated and will be taught in class.
