Each of these classes is roughly an hour long. If you already have your gun, you can take them back-to-back.
New Shooter I: The Basics. An introduction to handgun types, sizes, and caliber requirements; Ammo 101; and firearms law in California. 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.
New Shooter II: Actual shooting experience. Live-fire range. Meet your native marksmanship skills and learn how to start improving them. We continue with safe loading and unloading techniques and start you on a good firearm maintenance regimen. We strongly suggest you complete this class before going out to shoot solo.
New Shooter III: Gun Cleaning. Workroom only. If you're looking to learn the right way to clean and maintain your handgun in good order, this one's for you. Excellent for new owners but will work well to get you back to good habits with your rediscovered handgun. Learn how to field strip, clean, and reassemble your gun. Learn as well how to begin discerning between problems you can fix and things you should take to your local smith.
New Shooter IV: Principles of Marksmanship. Live-fire range. This is a flexible, individualized session that takes a look at your current skill levels, wherever they are, and moves those up a notch (often several notches). NOTE: No spectators, children, or pets are permitted in any live-fire class. Couples and buddies train at separate stations.
