DP1 - Intro to Defensive Pistol - $105
Intro to Defensive Pistol lays the foundational skills for using a handgun to defend yourself and/or your loved ones. As responsibly armed citizens, our goal must be to boil the core manipulations down to a subconscious level so that we can free our brain up to process the important information; should I shoot/do I need to continue to shoot? This 3 hour class begins with a classroom presentation on mindset and situational awareness, followed by a comprehensive range session. On the range, we will cover platform (stance), correct grip, ready positions, unsighted fire (gross sight picture), firing multiple consecutive shots, and understanding the balance between speed and precision. Finally, we discuss everyday carry to provide students with the information and ability to carry their protective firearm comfortably and with confidence.

We will also cover pistol mounted optic selection, set-up, maintenance, and zeroing procedures over the course of this 3 hour class.
