Entry Level Pistol Essentials is The Complete Combatant's 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 am ready to LEARN MORE"

Both the range and the classroom are located on our private range in Dahlonega, GA.

Classroom 1.5 hours
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"​​

Range 1.5 hours:
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.

Closing:
We will finish Entry Level Pistol Essentials with a few words from your coaches, recommendations, Certificates of Participation, hand out WHITE "Complete Combat Ant" rank patches, AWARDS and then range clean up.
