2/18/25 – Handgun Essentials

Become Confident and Safe with Your Handgun!

Ready to start your journey as a responsible and skilled handgun owner? Our Handgun Essentials course is perfect for new shooters who want to build a strong foundation in safety, accuracy, and technique.

We highly recommend taking our Step 1: New Shooter course first to ensure you’re ready to dive into this next level of training. In this class, you’ll master the core principles of handgun mechanics, safe handling, and marksmanship. Learn how to properly grip your firearm, align your sights, and adopt a solid stance for consistent accuracy.

But that’s not all—we’ll also guide you through real-world skills like malfunction clearing and efficient reloading techniques, so you’re prepared for anything at the range. By the end, you’ll have the confidence and control to enjoy shooting with precision and safety.

Join us and take the first step toward becoming a proficient marksman!
