Basics of Pistol Shooting + Safety Fundamentals

⏱ Class Duration: 90 Minutes

The class that belongs at the start of any serious shooter's journey. Our Basics class is a structured, hands on introduction to safely and accurately operating a semi automatic handgun. No prior experience required. No bad habits welcome.

What you'll learn:

• The Four Rules of Firearm Safety, inside and out
• Handgun anatomy and vocabulary (muzzle, slide, frame, mag well, sights)
• Stance, grip, sight picture, and trigger press from the ground up
• Safe loading, unloading, chamber checks, and basic malfunction clearing
• A 50 round progressive course of fire from 3 to 7 yards

What's included: All firearms, ammunition, eye and ear protection, and coaching. Just bring close toed shoes and a willingness to learn. You do not need to own a gun.

Bringing a friend? Change the quantity to book seats for both of you in one order. Training together is the whole point.

Planning to keep going? The 3 Class Pistol Training Bundle covers Basics, Intermediate and Advanced for $392, which is $43 less than booking each class separately.

After class, you're alumni. That unlocks our Intermediate Pistol class, the Monthly Indoor Range Day, the Rifle Skills Development Course and our outdoor range days, which are open to alumni only.
