Introduction To Handgun - April 12 2025 MORNING

Course Details

Description: This shooting course is designed to teach newbies and veterans alike the basic principles of handling a handgun. 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 handgun in dryfire. Each student will have the opportunity to participate in this workshop in order to get the technique down prior to the live fire 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.
