Description

This class will educate you on the basics of pistol shooting. It will give you the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to safely shoot a pistol. This class takes you beyond the State of Ohio Minimum class. Bring 100 rounds of ammo for your gun. Don't have a gun, we have some you can use. Bring a holster if you have one. We use state of the art SIRT (Shot Indicating Resetting Trigger) guns in our classrooms. The SIRT guns shoot a laser onto any target. They do not shoot live ammunition.

We are not the cheapest CCW class. We keep usually classes to 6 or less students. Our goal is for everyone who takes our class have the confidence to carry a firearm for their personal protection. 

This is also a great class for permitless carry. All of the same skills and principles apply.
