Defensive Handgun


Our Defensive Handgun courses are designed to accommodate beginner to advanced students over age 12. Defensive Handgun courses are geared towards safety, handling, technique, and defensive tactics.  Each class is built on muscle memory concepts and movements that become instinct.  Shooting cans off a fence-post are not what we teach here.  Our training will protect you and give you a tactical advantage in a threat situation in a safe and efficient manner. The more you know, the safer you and those around you are.  Included with the course is the NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting which is intended for all individuals regardless of previous shooting experience or NRA-affiliation. It is an instructor-led course where you will receive direct instruction from an NRA-certified instructor from beginning to end.  We offer six (6) progressive courses of handgun training.
