Introduction:  This course is designed to give the shooter all the tools necessary to effectively run your gun in almost any shooting situation. Here we master the basics of the gun and build your mindset, confidence and increase your skill level. We also learn the support equipment (holsters, chest rigs, etc.); what works and what doesn’t.   We use a building-block approach and the day culminates in a comprehensive stress drill.

THIS IS NOT AN INTRODUCTORY CLASS. The student must have strong safety skills and be able to load/draw/shoot the handgun with some familiarity.  You should have some range time before this class.  If you have any questions, you can call Harold to discuss - 678-471-7758.

Students will start the day UNLOADED. Bring guns to line in bags/holster. No magazines, slide/bolt locked.  NO HANDLING OF GUNS IN PARKING LOT OR LOADING TABLE
