About the event
This training is perfect for the brand new or novice handgun user who wants to grow ability, confidence, and skill in their handling, use, and shooting a handgun safely and accurately, building into becoming a fast, accurate shooter and a smart Defender. This course is ALSO excellent for the veteran handgun user who wants to revisit the fundamental to increase or fine-tune their skills, as the fundamentals are foundational to all good shooting, Even if you see yourself as a good shooter, you will absolutely will learn in this class and it will change some or much of how you handle and shoot, causing guaranteed improvements that will surprise you. On Saturday, we will focus on safe, efficient handling and accuracy with a handgun, building your confidence in the use of and shooting a handgun. This is not a fast paced-class; it will be a thoughtful, careful training session in order to build skill and confidence. We will focus completely on getting handgun use and fundamentals exactly correct and repeatable for each person, with safe, correct handling and accuracy as a result of good fundamentals. If the class as a general whole shows high proficiency in the above areas quickly, we will move into using a handgun with speed while also still engaging in precision. On Sunday, we’ll build on the skills from Saturday, while adding speed and dial in the accuracy as the courses of fire become more challenging. It will become faster-paced, working on extreme accuracy and into a deliberate, consistent, quick draw from the holster, preferably concealed, at increasingly difficult targets from varying distances, shooting multiple rounds at speeds while maintaining accuracy, transitioning targets, shooting in movement and while moving, and more. The intent of this training is for those who do or are considering regularly carrying a handgun concealed. Duty or competition gear is also great. Your purpose is the important part and we'll build your gun skills together from where you are in your journey.
