Entry Level
Pistol Essentials

DEFINITION OF SUCCESS: Offer a learning experience tailored to each students individual strengths. Help our guests understand the 4 fundamentals of shooting, gun safety and firearm manipulation with patience, open communication, and positive feedback.

Picture
Entry Level Pistol Essentials:
  • Instructor Shelley Hill
  • ​4 Hour Clinic
  • 10am - 2pm (arrive 9:30am)
  • 5 person MIN and 10 person MAX (12 MAX with 2 Assistant Instructors/Range Safety Officers)
  • $99 per person
Entry Level Pistol Essentials is The Complete Combatant's 4 hour ENTRY LEVEL clinic. This is one of Shelley's favorite classes to teach. The most important lesson is the first lesson. Fundamentals and principles of shooting should to be instilled in the beginning shooter, helping to create a useful skill set. Your first lesson should be with a professional and knowledgeable team that enjoys helping new clients explore the world of shooting and self defense.

​THIS CLASS IS TAILORED AROUND YOU, YOUR QUESTIONS AND YOUR GOALS. WE ARE HERE FOR YOU, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. 

​The decision to explore the shooting arts is personal and sometimes an intimidating one, and you owe to yourself to have the best instruction possible to help make good decisions about safety, equipment, and the use of lethal force.


If the quotes below sound familiar then this class is YOUR class!
  • "I have never held a firearm"
  • "I am afraid of guns. Do they just GO OFF"?
  • "I shot a little bit when I was a kid"
  • "I have fired under 100 rounds"
  • "I just want to experience shooting a gun"
  • "I want to start my journey to carrying a firearm"
  • "I shoot on private property but have never had any formal training"
  • "I am ready to LEARN MORE" but a fast paced class with tons of students is not for me. 
  • "I don't want to be coddled but I also don't want to be left alone. I am a bit anxious"
  • "I would like to call you before I register. Is that ok?"

You will register/pay for courses online. Keep the receipt, payment is your first confirmation.  Your second and official confirmation from me will arrive via email about a week prior to class (check your SPAM). Please arrive to class 30 minutes early to complete waivers and registration.

TRAIN WITH HECKLER & KOCH PISTOLS
​Classroom
FUNDAMENTALS are the key to everything! The Complete Combatant's Entry Level Pistol Essentials Clinic will start in a classroom setting focusing on safe gun handling, mindset, operation of a firearm and introduce you to the 4 fundamentals of grip, sights, trigger and  follow through (dry practice) with the use of a Blue Gun or plastic pistol (we supply). We will use a Bluegun, SIRT, or plastic pistol replica in the classroom. We will also go over "range" commands, loading your magazine, and expectations.
  • NO firearm or ammo allowed in the "classroom"​​
  • Interactive PowerPoint that you follow with your own booklet (to keep)

The classroom portion will be held in our beautiful pavilion and then we will walk over to the range for the live fire portion. VERY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE!

Range
We will start the live fire portion off with safety lifestyle rules re-cap, operating a firearm, and dry practicing  the fundamentals with your firearm.
  • Transport firearms unloaded and in a range bag
  • The range will be considered a "COLD " range

Now the FUN REALLY BEGINS with sending some rounds down range! We will repeat everything you have already worked on in the classroom setting and the dry practice but this time your firearm will go BANG. We will work from a "table start or low ready" position (no holster needed during class), we will move at a comfortable pace and we will be beside you every step of the way.

There have been times that we run a few minutes late because we like to work “one on one” with each of you. Be prepared to stay a half hour later…just in case!


Closing:
We will finish Entry Level Pistol Essentials with a few words from your coaches, recommendations, Certificates of Participation (or emailed), Top Shot award and hand out White Ant Rank Patches.
