Advanced Pistol Training:

We offered our Advanced Pistol Course last fall on October 25, 2008 and again on April 11, 2009.  Participants at the course learned techniques for drawing from concealment, shooting on the move and other tactics in this 8-hour, range intensive course.  We received great reviews from our students.

Proof of basic pistol training such as a Concealed Handgun License, NRA Basic Pistol Certificate, or other approved training is required to attend.  We will begin with warm-ups on the fundamentals of pistol marksmanship and move on to advanced techniques.

This course does NOT meet the requirements of the ORC for initial Concealed Handgun License training, however it does cover more advanced shooting techniques and may be used as a Renewal Competency Certification class. THIS IS NOT AN NRA COURSE. 

 A minimum of 500 rounds of factory ammunition; a jacket, vest or other cover garment; and a safe belt- or IWB-holster are required.  No shoulder holsters or cross-draw holsters. Please bring appropriate eye and ear protection.   

Enrollment is limited. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
