LAYING THE FOUNDATION

DESCRIPTION:
Class Flow: MODERATE (students can expect full day of shooting and weapon manipulation from a static line).
Laying The Foundation Handgun is designed to stress the importance of proper weapon manipulation and shooting techniques. The goal of this class is to build a strong and efficient foundation regarding the proper use and manipulation of the Handgun as a defensive tool. Without a strong foundation, any additional training is wasted time & money. This class will prepare students for our “Advanced” level classes and is a mandatory prerequisite to move on with the Iron Sight Advance Curriculum, (ISAC).
This class is for students who understand the fundamentals of marksmanship, live by the four rules of responsible firearms handling, and are looking to learn to use the handgun as a defensive tool.
