Pistol 101

Description

Course Description
Ready to take the training wheels off?  Whether you are new to shooting or want to get back into it with a reset, Pistol 101 is where you want to start.  While there is some classroom time included, the majority of time will be spent on the range – learning to shoot while you actually shoot!  A lot will be done on the range with training, but a highlight includes being able to draw from the holster, shoot and recover to the holster.  Paper and steel targets will be used.  The small class size allows for more individualized training.

After completing the course, you will be able to:
-Demonstrate the safe use and handling of a pistol
-Identify how to fit a handgun to your hand
-Understand action types, calibers and ammunition
-Choose a holster
-Safely draw from and recover to a holster
-Demonstrate foundational shooting techniques
-Safely and efficiently load, reload and unload a pistol
-Safely and efficiently hit a target with dominant hand

We do not offer refunds for this course.  If you need to re-schedule there is a $75 rescheduling fee, and you can only re-book for a date that has a spot available 48 hours prior to the start of class and no sooner.  Sorry to take a tough stance on this, but with the class size being so limited we absolutely cannot have students taking one of the 4 slots, rescheduling and then taking another slot down the road unless we happen to have a slot available.
