Essential Pistol Course
This one-day course focuses on the essentials of safe gun handling and also introduces the newer shooter to several defensive shooting topics such as: safely drawing from the holster, presenting the gun to the target, muzzle awareness in public, movement, reloading, use of cover and concealment, safely re-holstering, target transitioning, reliably clearing malfunctions, and more. Also covered are the legal aspects of the use of deadly force and the realities and consequences of legal self defense, such as talking to the police. There are both written/range tests with accuracy standards for passing. The course of fire is 250 rounds. 9mm loaner pistols and holsters are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Ammunition is the attendee’s responsibility and Hobbs Island Shooting Range will charge a $30 non-member fee for use of their range that day.
