Defensive Pistol I

---

8 hours

This course will provide shooters with fundamentals including concealed carry methodologies, drawing from the holster, shooting while moving, reloading drills, malfunction drills and multiple target engagements. This course is designed to push students to their maximum ability having safety and accuracy in mind.  This is not a beginner class.  Students should be familiar with their firearms and equipment, have sound fundamentals of drawing from the holster, grip, trigger control and sight alignment/picture.  Several courses of fire have time elements.

Students who are having trouble keeping up with the curriculum, may be asked to reschedule and attend a lesser level of training to ensure safety of other students and staff; as well as keeping the course on track.
