Skills & Drills-Mastering the Fundamentals class is designed for novices or seasoned pros. The class is tailored to the individual needs of each student.
Full Description: This class is designed to help you build confidence and improve your skills with firearms. But it’s not just for beginners—seasoned shooters and CCL holders can also benefit from refining their marksmanship abilities. Remember, our performance in emergency situations is directly influenced by our level of training. That’s why ongoing training is so important. This class takes place on the range with no formal classroom instruction. Our pistol instructors and range safety officers will be there to guide and support you. It’s a great opportunity to immerse yourself in a safe and enjoyable environment, where you can practice and develop your shooting fundamentals. You’ll work on marksmanship, breathing techniques, stance, grip, and groupings. The more often you attend, the more you’ll see improvement in your marksmanship and handling skills.
