Our Introduction to Handgun course teaches the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary for owning and using a handgun safely. In addition, this class has been designed as a small group setting with the instructor for students ages 16 and over.

Course covers:
• Handgun knowledge & safe handling
• Ammunition knowledge
• Fundamentals of handgun shooting
• Actual range practice
• Eye & ear protection, guns, & targets provided

This class is designed for the people with little to no knowledge of handguns, or those who are years out of practice and want a good refresher course starting at the beginning.
