Practical Fundamentals
This two-day program teaches the techniques and philosophy of what we believe a shooter needs to improve to their full potential. This is not a beginning handgun course.
Prerequisites:
An open mind, willing to learn. At minimum, students should have taken a basic handgun safety course and have experience with their firearm and gear. We expect students to have experience shooting on a line in a safe manner, including loading, reloading and shooting from the holster.

Practical Fundamentals may be repeated several times to further one's understanding of the concepts involved.
