Course Description
Skill Builder II/Intermediate Pistol Course: (Draw from holster) This is an intermediate level handgun course for shooters who are ready to take the next step. It is designed to prepare individuals to take more advanced pistol courses. Safety is again emphasized. Class discussions include proper attitude, gear selection, and marksmanship. Drills, including the draw and re-holstering are repeated for muscle memory. Many of our students take this course multiple times before advancing to the Tactical Pistol course. Some also come back for practice even after taking advanced courses. This is a 3-4 hour shooting class.
