PISTOL LEVEL ONE
In this course, we focus on pistol safety and proper shooting fundamentals. We cover beginner aspects such as stance, proper grip, sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control, recoil control, loading and unloading, malfunctions, shooting positions, muzzle transitions, shot deviation, and numerous other skills needed to begin shooting handguns confidently. This is a fast-paced class where you are saturated with the basics of pistol shooting and safety.
This course also aids students who are thinking of buying their first handgun. After learning the proper fundamentals and mechanics of a pistol, you will be better prepared when you enter gun stores. Don’t let the salesman talk you into a pistol that doesn’t work for you. Instead, go shopping with confidence knowing exactly what you want and need and how to use it.
