Basic Pistol Marksmanship Class


This class will teach new shooters the fundamentals of pistol shooting.

Course Description
This beginner course is intended for shooters who have recently received their LTC and wish to learn the fundamentals of pistol shooting. There are no prerequisites for this class other than a valid MA LTC (License to Carry) or prior attendance in a certified firearms safety class. In this course, we will split time between the classroom and the range.

For the live fire portion of the class, attendees may use the instructor-supplied 22 caliber pistols and ammo or, if you wish, you can bring your own handgun and 50 rounds of ammunition.

Safety glasses and hearing protection are required on the range. If you don't have your own protective gear, you'll be given the option to purchase a set after you sign up.
