The 1/2 Day 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.
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.

We’ll start at noon at the Rio Salado Sportsman’s Club in Training Bay 2 and end around 5 pm.
Training Bay 2 is near the Shotgun area of the range, with large log walls and a big awning. Parking is in the parking lot in front of Bay 1.
This is a half day fundamentals class so we aren’t in the heat all day and we will focus on safety, grip, stance, platform, trigger press, and consistent, accurate shooting.
Range Fee:
There is also a Range Fee of $15 that will need to be paid in cash prior to the start of the course, so please bring that 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.
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 Brent Hickmon of Haven Defense Co. 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.
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.
