Description

Pistol Fundamentals Level 1 is designed for new shooters and anyone looking to build a strong foundation in safe and effective handgun use. This course focuses on developing safe habits, proper firearm handling, and the core skills necessary for confident shooting.

Students will begin by learning essential safety principles, including safe firearm handling practices and proper manipulation techniques. From there, instruction moves into the fundamental building blocks of accurate shooting, including stance, grip, sight alignment, and sight picture.

Through structured live-fire exercises and guided coaching, students will apply these fundamentals in a supportive learning environment. We will also introduce practical drills that students can continue to use after the course to improve consistency, accuracy, and overall shooting ability.

No prior experience is required — new shooters are welcome.
