Handgun Refinement & Close Quarters – Okeechobee, FL. – Feb. 6th, 2025
Location:
OK Corral & Gun Club
Okeechobee, FL
Thurs., Feb. 6th, 2025
The first part of the day will focus on refining skills with a deep dive into the fundamentals of shooting, draw stroke, accuracy, with the second half working on use of a handgun in closer quarters and into entangled use of a handgun.
Range Fee:
There is also a Range Fee of $40 that will need to be paid in cash prior to the start of the training, so please bring that with you.
A safe, quality holster for your handgun is a must and you will be refining your draw for efficiency and speed, and re-holstering correctly and safely.
If you want to get a quality holster for before this class, we enthusiastically endorse Brent Hickmon of Haven Defense Co. (970-987-3471) for an excellent, custom-made holster. Brent is also an instructor with Defenders USA; he and his lovely wife make holsters on a full-time basis for incredible shooters all over America.
This is not a fast-paced class; it is a thoughtful, careful training session in order to build skill and confidence. We will focus completely on getting the basic fundamentals exactly correct and repeatable for each shooter, with safe, correct handling and accuracy as a result of good fundamentals before moving on to close quarters use of a handgun.
