Classroom Only. This course is for people seeking a basic firearms orientation. Especially good for first-time purchasers but will work well to introduce you to the ins and outs of your new or rediscovered handgun. We present a hands-on discussion illustrated with a wide variety of handgun types, actions, features, and options, with an emphasis on safety and best fit with your own hand size, strength, and objectives.
(If you'll need to purchase a firearm, you'll want a couple of weeks between New Shooter I and II.)
(Need your Firearms Safety Certificate? This is a prerequiste for buying a firearm. see our FSC Study Materials page to prep to take the test wherever you decide to purchase.)
What will this class do for you? In the last few months we've all seen unprecedented numbers of first-timers purchasing guns. If you're one of these, it's in your own and the community's best interests that you get solid grounding in the rules of safe handling before you ever fire a gun. We've also seen a few people appear at the range with a shiny new handgun, unaware that the one they bought actually is a poor fit for them. This class is an excellent place to start on both points.
Go check out New Shooter II, New Shooter III (Marksmanship), and New Shooter IV (Gun Cleaning).
If you're up for moving forward, this is the next logical step.
Because small changes can yield big results.
Raises your range awareness and safety by a couple of orders of magnitude.
