AT – Introduction To Handgun – September 21 2024 AFTERNOON
September 21 @ 2:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Description: This is designed to create a solid foundation for new shooters, first time handgun owners, those preparing to get their concealed carry or those who have never taken a training course. The course focus is safe weapon handling and becoming familiar with grip, stance, sight alignment/sight picture and trigger control. Both iron sight and red dot handguns are welcome.
The classroom portion will give an overview of handguns as well as a workshop with inert guns to go over the fundamentals of shooting. During this time, a UTM gun will be used with SBR (Silent Blank Rounds) ammo in order to cycle the gun. Students will also be able to use their own handgun in this dryfire workshop. Each student will have the opportunity to participate in this workshop in order to get the technique down prior to the range time.
Objective: Understand how to safely shoot your handgun while also having a knowledge of how it functions. By the end of the course you will feel more confident in your ability to use your firearm.
Length: 5 hour Course (2.5 hours in classroom and 2 hours on the range with some breaks).
Pre-requisites: None. This is an entry level course. However, regardless of your firearm experience we tailor the course based off student’s skillset so all levels will improve.
