Handgun Training

Choose the right starting point, then view current dates and register.

Start With the Goal, Not Just the Gun

The right class depends on whether you're brand new, improving accuracy, or building carry-specific skills.

New to handguns? Start with Basic Pistol. It covers safe handling, use, and foundational range habits.

If you already know the basics but want better consistency, move into Pistol Marksmanship Fundamentals for a deeper focus on accuracy and practice strategy.

If you carry or plan to carry for personal protection, Defensive Carry Fundamentals builds the higher-skill public carry and holster work that basic classes do not cover.

Ladies Night is a recurring low-pressure entry point for women who want a guided first experience with strong instructor support.
