Description

The Basic Pistol class establishes the fundamentals required to accurately and effectively employ a pistol in a hostile environment.  Establishing the fundamentals of marksmanship will set the stage for accurate and reliable shots in a shoot or no-shoot environment.

 Your basic pistol skills will be assessed and we will assist you with establishing your stable shooting platform which will mold you into a very accurate shooter and carry you over into the intermediate, advanced and operator level courses.

 The basics skills taught during this pistol class are safety, marksmanship, accuracy, target identification, shoot or no-shoot scenarios and a qualification course.

Lead instructor Nils Jonasson is a USPSA National Champion.  If you want to take pistol shooting seriously or are just concerned with personal protection, you will have one of the fastest most accurate shooters in the world teaching you the ropes.  Other instructors in this course have an extremely diverse military background with the knowledge and real world experience that few instructors, let alone companies, can bring to the table.
