Class: 4 hours
This class is geared for the complete beginner or someone who is searching for a handgun for personal protection or concealed carry. This class covers the basics of marksmanship and firearm safety, tips on selecting handguns, and instruction on how to operate handguns. In addition, you will get the opportunity to shoot several different handguns in a variety of different calibers. All of these firearms are geared for personal protection. This is a great opportunity to “Test fire” selected handguns BEFORE you go out and buy one! All ammunition is provided and included with the cost.
Selection of Handguns to be available: there will be at least half a dozen different ones, including from Sig, Glock, Smith and Wesson, etc. Calibers will include: 9mm, .40sw, .45acp.
