The basic handgun class is perfect for both novice and experienced shooters. This class is taught in a three-hour block in one session.

About Our Basic Handgun Training Course

Our basic handgun course is designed to teach new shooters the knowledge and practical skills necessary for safety and success. Experienced shooters will also enjoy this class as a great refresher course. Each three-hour session is broken into three parts:

  • Classroom instruction: You’ll start in the classroom, where you’ll first learn handgun safety. You’ll also learn more about the basics of shooting a handgun, such as how to operate your weapon, how to load and unload, how to stand and grip correctly and other fundamentals of operation and shooting.
  • Instructor demonstration: After learning the theoretical knowledge behind your handgun, your instructor will show you how to apply this knowledge at the range. During this part of the course, the instructor will demonstrate proper stance, grip and other basics while shooting at a target.
  • Student participation: Once you watch your instructor demonstrate the skills you’ll need for safe and accurate shooting, you can put your learning to the test. Each student will practice firing at shooting range targets. You’ll stay safe under the watchful eye of your instructor, who can then provide practical tips to help you further improve.
    Expert, friendly, instructors teach each course with easy-to-follow directions and a service-oriented attitude, helping you feel comfortable throughout your time at the range. You’ll leave with increased confidence in your abilities and skills you can use for a lifetime.

If I could give this center 10 stars I would. First off, the staff is highly knowledgeable and curtesy of others. I walked in for a training lesson with Eric, and he ensured I received the most out of the hour I had. He explained everything thoroughly and made the experience very comfortable for me to handle my new firearm. The experience was as if I was talking to a friend, he was explained particular items in situations so that I can fully understand without confusion. After that much more confident and the employees there are the reason for that. I will definitely be coming back! If I could give this center 10 stars I would.
