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.
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 fundamentals exactly correct and repeatable for each person, with safe, correct handling and accuracy as a result of good fundamentals.
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 absolutely will learn in this class and it will change some or much of how you handle a gun and shoot, causing guaranteed improvements that will surprise you.
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.
Location:
We’ll start at 9 am at the Ben Lomond Gun Club in Competition Bay #1 and end around 5 pm, depending on several factors such as weather, temperatures, etc.
BLGC address:
23195 Co Rd 105, Ramah, CO 80832
Range Fee:
There is a Range Fee charged by BLGC of $20 per person that will be collected in cash before the beginning of the class, so please bring that range fee with you.
We will focus on safe, efficient handling and accuracy with a handgun, building your confidence in the use of and shooting a handgun.
