Handgun Safety and Shooting Fundamentals (Part 1)

Close-up of a hand holding and aiming a handgun.

Handgun Safety and Shooting Fundamentals (Part 1) is a 3-hour dry-fire class (meaning no live ammo) that will introduce those new to shooting or with limited formal training, or just needing a refresher to basic handgun safety and shooting fundamentals using a variety of dry-fire training aids to get students acquainted with safely handling a handgun. This class is oriented towards self defense shooting where both speed and "combat accuracy" are critical, as opposed to slow fire target shooting. Therefore, all aspects of basic shooting fundamentals will be covered, (i.e., proper stance, natural point of aim, press out for quick sight acquisition and sight alignment, trigger management and recoil management for quick follow up shots - as many as it may take to stop the threat) A variety of training aids will be used, including computerized shot placement analysis for first shot times, and split times on multiple targets.

Part 2 live fire class is offered as a follow-up class to practice what you learned in Part 1 dry fire class..

Dry fire (no live ammo) is widely recognized as the best way to practice proper gun handling, gun safety, and shooting fundamentals. For "defensive shooting" (which also applies to competitive shooting), 80-90% of what you need to learn,and then practice to become "efficient" and "proficient", happens before you pull the trigger. Live fire confirms those fundamentals with actual recoil, and where shot placement issues can be diagnosed and corrected.
