Firearms 301 is the most advanced training class that we offer.  Participants are expected to have experience and proficiency in firearms handling before signing up for this course.  The objective of this course is to enhance the fundamental skills of pistol shooting to transition you into a more advanced and accurate shooter. This course builds upon the skills you learned in the Firearms 201 or your current fundamental skills. You will learn how to shoot more accurately and consistently, perform reloads, draw from the holster, and clear stoppages. You will also learn different ready positions and in what scenarios they might be applied.  A review of the content will occur at the end of class, allowing the instructor to create a personalized plan for you to continue your growth in the sport. Targets will be provided. Approximately 100 rounds of ammunition will be necessary and provided by the shooter for this course.
