This course is designed for every level shooter. If you’ve never touched a firearm or you shoot regularly, you will benefit from this course. To be clear, this is not an NRA affiliated or certified course, but rather a basic course designed to teach the fundamentals and safety rules for handling and shooting pistols.
This class is intended for all individuals regardless of previous shooting experience. During the course, a team of instructors will teach application of gun safety rules, range protocol, proper handling, loading and unloading procedures, application of pistol shooting fundamentals, stable shooting positions, and live fire.
The course will be held in the clubhouse, while the live fire module will be held on the pistol range (which will be closed during the class). You may bring your own pistol (of any pistol caliber) and ammunition for this class.
