This 3-hour private lesson provides a focused, hands-on introduction to safely handle and fire a handgun.
You’ll work one-on-one with an instructor and can book solo or with a friend or family member to learn together.

In your first lesson, you will learn:

• How to handle a firearm safely: storage, carrying and operation
• How a handgun works, inside out, how to load, reload and make safe
• How to properly shoot: stance, grip, sight alignment, trigger control, and recoil management
• Then put it together so you start your firearm journey safely and confidently
