Other Firearms Training

Intermediate Class

This class is designed to work on the students simple shooting skills. The first thing is to make sure the gun you have is a proper fit to you mentally, your hands and body. We start at the basics and work at each persons own pace to improve their stance, grouping, trigger control and sight alignment and more.
It is NOT designed as a survival shooting class but only one to improve your skills and gun handling to make one more comfortable with the firearm.
If one is going to carry or use a firearm then the first thing is to understand how it works and what it will do. Practice is very important and knowing your limits and improving your skills to reach the standard that you set for yourself tops the list.
This class is an approximately 250 round class some may shoot less and some may shoot more depending on you learning and shooting ability.
