Advanced Application of Pistol Fundamentals (8 HRS)

Note: To attend this class, at a minimum, students must know and should be able to follow at all times the 4 Cardinal Rules of Firearms safety.

Description

Fundamentals are the cornerstone for every handgun shooter. No matter your skill level (Beginner to Advanced) your fundamentals have to be strong in order to put hits on target. To quote Steve Anderson “Pistol shooting is easy.  All you have to do is learn how to shoot the gun, learn to do everything else and then go shoot the gun.”  This class goes in depth on how to get your pistol out of the holster and put bullets exactly where you want them to go or more simply put “how to shoot the gun.” Students of all skill levels will improve their draw and pistol shooting skills through drills and exercises with a strong emphasis on the fundamentals.  Students will take away the knowledge and skills to not only have confidence that they can put a bullet exactly where it needs to go but also the ability to develop and diagnose their personal performance on their own.
