The Handgun Fundamentals is perfect for the brand new or novice handgun user who wants to grow, ability, confidence and skill in their handling, use, and shooting a handgun safely and accurately. We will focus on safe, efficient handling and accuracy with a handgun, building your confidence in the use of and shooting a handgun.

It is ALSO excellent for the veteran handgun user who wants to revisit the fundamental to increase and fine-tune their skills, as the fundamentals are foundational to all good shooting. Even if you see yourself as a good shooter, you will absolutely will learn in this class and it will change some or much of how you handle and shoot, causing guaranteed improvements that will surprise you.

We’ll start at 8:30 am at the Cameo Shooting & Education Complex in Bay 13 and end around 5 pm, depending on several factors such as weather, temperatures, etc.

If you have a safe or quality holster for your handgun, you will also be learning how to draw and re-holster correctly and safely. If you do not have holster for your handgun, that is not a problem.

If you want to get a quality holster for before this class, we enthusiastically endorse of Haven Defense Co. and its owner, Brent Hickmon (970-987-3471) for an excellent, custom-made holster. Brent is local to the Western Slope; he and his lovely wife make holsters on a full time basis for incredible shooters all over America.

If a handgun does not have an optic on it, you are welcome to reserve the use of a handgun and the needed gear.
If you want to use one with an optic, there will be an small rental fee for the use of a handgun with an optic.
You also will have an opportunity to try out the VP9 handguns in this course.

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.

If the class as a general whole shows high proficiency in the above areas quickly, we will move into using a handgun with speed while also still engaging in precision.
