Basic Pistol

Our Basic Pistol course is a great place to start. This is an introduction to the fundamentals of operating and manipulating a pistol. In this course, students will be led through a series of instructor-directed, hands-on exercises that will give them the tools they need to confidently operate a handgun safely and effectively. This class teaches the fundamentals of gun safety as well as proper aiming and firing techniques, with an emphasis on overall marksmanship and handgun manipulation.
