Beginner’s Basic Familiarization Safety Course
This one-day (4.5 hours), Static Shooting course is designed to engage participants in proper gun safety, skills, and marksmanship.
In this course, you will:
- Become familiar with handling, loading, unloading, and shooting a handgun (both .22 caliber and/or 9 mm).
- Learn the ‘Five Fundamentals of Shooting’:
- Weapons Grip — Retention and Support Grip
- Shooting Stance — Athletic and Aggressive Stance
- Sight Alignment — Rear and Front Sight Alignment (Equal Spacing)
- Sight Picture — Sights Align and Aimed at Target (Point of Aim)
- Trigger Squeeze — Controlled, steady pull-on trigger (Autonomous Trigger Pull Engagement)
- Shoot a minimum of 250 rounds.
We believe that being comfortable and gaining confidence with a firearm comes only from firing the weapon. This course may or may not include a brief introduction to some dynamic shooting, depending on the comfort level of the participants and their progress during the course. We can provide the firearms (.22LR cal. semi-auto handgun) for this course. Ammunition for the .22 caliber is available for purchase at market price or you may bring your own. Firing your personal semi-auto handgun is an option at the end of the course.
This course is the perfect gift for a loved one, and can also be a great team-building activity, especially for women who wish to build their confidence with proper handling and become empowered with new skill sets. This course does require four participants. If your group includes less than four people, please contact us so we can pair you with other participants.
