Basic Handgun Fundamentals
Build the foundation everything else is built on.
Most new shooters think they need to graduate to advanced classes fast. The opposite is true. World-class shooters are world-class because their fundamentals are bulletproof — and that's what we build here. Four hours of structured progression: explain it, demonstrate it, watch you do it, give you feedback, watch you do it again. By the end, you'll have a foundation that holds up under pressure instead of one that crumbles the first time things get hard.
Who it's for
New and newer shooters who want real, supervised range time and a foundation they can trust under pressure.
What You'll Learn
By the end of this class, you will…
Establish a repeatable grip that absorbs recoil and returns to target
Build a stable shooting stance and natural point of aim
Align sights and break a clean trigger press without disturbing aim
Load, unload, and clear common malfunctions safely
Diagnose your own miss patterns and self-correct
Confidently handle a loaded firearm at the range and at home
Curriculum

Grip + Stance
High thumb grip, support-hand pressure, athletic stance, natural point of aim. Drilled dry until it is automatic.

Sight Alignment + Sight Picture

Smooth straight-back press, reset, prep, breaking the shot without disturbing the sights.
05
