BASIC PISTOL COURSE (Not an NRA course)

Description:

This course introduces the student to the basic fundamentals of pistol marksmanship and the safe use of handguns. Topics include:

Handgun safety
Range Etiquette
Basic functioning and operation of handguns
Handgun Malfunctions
Essential skills (Grip, Stance, Aiming, Trigger Control, Hold Control, Breath Control, and Follow Through)
We start in the classroom with SIRT laser trainer non-firing pistols to get the student comfortable with handling pistols and learning the essential skills before going to the range to fire their first live shots.

We highly recommend that everyone take this course before attending any other pistol course, including the Texas LTC course. It is suitable for first time novices, as well as intermediate pistol shooters.

Students will receive a Certificate of Completion upon successful completion of the course.

Course Length: Approximately 6 Hours

Required Equipment:

We furnish the student with loaner SIRT laser training pistols for use in the classroom, as well as loaner .22 caliber semi-auto pistols with ammo for the live fire portion on the range. We also furnish electronic hearing protection for use on the range.

What to bring:

The student must provide their own safety glasses.

Bring a hat, water to stay hydrated, closed toe shoes (no sandals or open toed shoes), and a shirt or blouse that can be fully buttoned to prevent hot brass from going down your shirt!

Also bring any snacks or drinks for your consumption during the class.
