Skill Level: 
  • NONE
  • You need to be able to follow directions from our coaches
  • Men and women
  • Ages 16 - 18 (attending with a parent)
  • Ages 18 and above

Inclement Weather:  If the weather or driving conditions pose a threat to our students or our coaches then we will postpone class. If not, the class will go forth as scheduled rain or shine.

Cancellation Policy:  If The Complete Combatant does not meet the required number of students within 7 days prior to class or we have to cancel for any reason then a FULL refund will be given to you or you may opt to attend a future class.

If you  have to cancel for any reason up to 30 days prior to class then a FULL refund will be given to you. Anything UNDER 30 days then NO REFUND will be given but you are invited to attend another class that The Complete Combatant offers within 6 months of the original class date. Please make note: if you have cancelled class twice then you will not be allowed to reschedule class a third time while "riding on" the original payment. You are most welcome on our range but you would need to register again at the regular class fee.

EXCEPTION TO THE RULE ABOVE: If we have a SOLD OUT class, I will stop marketing and close down registration for that specific class since it is  full. If you cancel anytime AFTER I have done this (no matter the "timeline") then you will NOT receive a refund because I have closed down all avenues of marketing. You are most welcome on our range but you would need to register again at the regular class fee.

​
REMINDER: Brian Hill offers 1 hour - 4 hour Private Lessons.
Entry Level Pistol Essentials is The Complete Combatant's 4 hour ENTRY LEVEL clinic. 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. 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"

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.

Both the range and the classroom are located on our private range in Dahlonega, GA. Please arrive no earlier than 9:25am because that's when we open the main property gate. THANK YOU.

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).
  • NO firearm or ammo allowed in the "classroom"​​

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 a medical brief, safety lifestyle rules re-cap, expectations, range verbiage, 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 Brian likes to work “one on one” with each of you. Be prepared to stay until 2:30pm…just in case!


Closing:
We will finish Entry Level Pistol Essentials with a few words from your coaches, recommendations, Certificates of Participation (or emailed) and AWARDS.
Entry Level Pistol Essentials:
