This is a 3 hour dry fire clinic to prepare for the training of the rest of the weekend and to teach how to train, maintain, and grow skills long after this weekend training event is over.
On Saturday & Sunday, we’ll start at 8:30 am and end around 5 to 5:30 pm both days at:

Green Valley Rifle and Pistol Club
4350 Academy Rd.
Hallsville, MO 65255

Range Fee:
There is a $20 Range Fee per day for each shooter for both Saturday and Sunday will need to be collected in cash at the beginning of the training course. It will be given over to the range facility for the use of the range.
On Friday, we will be holding a Dry Fire clinic the entire weekend of training will build upon. It is open to the public for a small fee but is also included in the cost of the entire weekend for those also attending Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday, we will focus on safe, efficient handling and accuracy with a handgun, building your confidence in the use of and shooting a handgun.
On Sunday, we’ll add speed and dial in the accuracy as the courses of fire become more challenging and as skills continue to grow.
If you want to get a quality holster for before this class, feel free to contact us or Brent Hickmon of Haven Defense Co. (970-987-3471) for an excellent, custom-made holster.
Brent is local to the Western Slope of Colorado; he and his lovely wife make holsters on a full time basis for incredible shooters all over America, is an accomplished shooter in his own right, and is a certified Master Handgun Instructor with Defenders USA.
Friday is a dry fire clinic that teaches excellent fundamentals of grip, stance, platform, trigger use, and aiming. We’ll spend a good amount of time perfecting this for everyone attending, and teaching how to train long after this training weekend is over in order to maintain and grow skills.
This will be foundational to the entire weekend of training – or will be of great long term benefit to those who chose to only attend Friday evening.
Saturday is not a fast paced-class; it will be a thoughtful, careful training session in order to build skill and confidence. We will focus completely on getting handgun use and fundamentals exactly correct and repeatable for each person, 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.
Sunday will become fast-paced, working on extreme accuracy and into a deliberate, consistent, quick draw from the holster, preferably concealed, at increasingly difficult targets from varying distances, shooting multiple rounds at speeds while maintaining accuracy, transitioning targets, shooting in movement and while moving, and more.
***Note**** The Sunday portion of this weekend builds upon the skills from Saturday.
