Introduction to Pistol
This training is for the person that has limited skills regarding the function and deployment of a handgun. We have only two main goals with this course: first is to take the time to establish your comfort level with handling a pistol and second is to establish your safe handling of the pistol so that you may continue future training with your pistol, free from fear of injuring yourself or another.
Course Description:
This course is for the person with little to no pistol handling experience, but has interest in learning more regarding function and control of a pistol. Most attendees of this course are persons seeking to acquire skills focused around pistol self defense and conceal carry. The goal of this course is not only for you to come away with a working knowledge of the pistol so that you may continue to train more, but also to remove the stress and anxiety new pistol shooters can experience. This course is all about removing the fear associated with handling a firearm so we can have a comfortable starting point for your pistol training path. We achieve this by training in a low stress environment and utilizing a low student to instructor ratio. What makes our course better than most available, is that we have the availability to use the same firearm simulators as law enforcement and military, that provides all the realistic features as a real firearm, including sound and recoil, but are 100 percent safe and non-lethal. We believe there is no point in someone carrying a firearm that they are afraid to use. We help to remove that fear.
Owning a pistol is not required to attend this course. We have firearm simulators available for use if you so desire. Please note this request during the registration process (additional $35 fee for this feature due to the cost of the ammunition that we will provide).
