Basic Firearm Training
Our beginner-friendly handgun course features small class sizes for personalized, hands-on instruction. The program begins with four hours of classroom training covering the essential basics of handgun safety and core shooting fundamentals.
This is followed by an additional four hours of practical range time, where particepants actively handle and shoot a variety of handguns- exploring different sizes, calibers, and types- to help each shooter identify the best fit for their needs and preferences.
The primary goal is to build confidence and comfort with multiple handgun platforms while emphasizing safe handling techniques. Students also gain a solid foundation in firearms fundamentals and responsible safety practices throughout the entire experience.
This structured 8-hour course is ideal for newcomers looking to start safely and knowledgeably.
