This is a course designed for those that are looking to start at the beginning. Did you just purchase your first firearm and need to learn how to use it?

Topics include:

Without a strong foundation, it is impossible to progress. As with any skill, if you start with poor fundamentals the first thing you need to do is unlearn them before you can improve.

Safety is paramount. This course is a prerequisite for any more advanced training. For our safety and the safety of others, we need to know that you can safely use your firearm. The cost for this class is applicable to any other courses you would like to take.
