BASICS OF SHOOTING

The Basics of Shooting class is $45/pp and covers the fundamentals of shooting and handgun safety. This is a great class to get familiar with your handgun and to feel more confident in your shooting with instructed range time. I highly recommend this class BEFORE taking the “LTC” class. It is great for new AND experienced shooters alike!
