2-Day Defensive Handgun Class
This is an outstanding class for the intermediate or advanced shooter. All students must be prepaid to attend this class and we only take a limited number of students per class. All students must be 18 years of age or older, unless you get preapproval. If you have a responsible child that you would like to shoot next to you, give us a call, prior to registration, for approval.
This class is a $1,000+ value, however your cost is only $290 for the 2 days. There are NO membership fees or background check fees. This class is 2 full days and you’ll shoot about 250-350 rounds per day. We operate with one range master plus 4–5-line instructors.
All students must bring government issued photo ID, IE: Driver’s License.
Upon completion of this course, you will have a fundamental understanding of the use of your handgun. You should have the ability to safely and easily present your weapon from the holster and fire the necessary number of shots to the center of a target 5 yards away in under 3 seconds! Most gun fights are at 9 feet and everybody misses. That is sad and we want you to learn to not miss.
Drills include but not limited to: Loading and Unloading; Grip, Stance, Sight Picture, Sight Alignment, and Trigger Control; Presentation from the Ready position, the Sul or Temple index and the Holster; Target Engagement from 3 to 10 yards under Time Pressure; Malfunction Clearing; Emergency and Tactical Reloading.
Firearm, Equipment and Ammo Requirements:
Holsters must be on the belt, OWB, correctly fitted to the weapon, completely covering the trigger guard and remain open when the weapon is removed, not allowing the weapon to cover the shooter’s body. You must be able to draw your gun from your holster with one hand, if you can’t, you have the wrong holster and it’s not acceptable. Cross-draw, shoulder holsters or ankle holsters are not allowed. It would be a good idea to bring a backup gun and a holster, in case yours fails.
A minimum of three magazines (recommend 4-6) and two single or one double magazine pouch worn on the belt on the side opposite the handgun are required. Use the magazines you will be carrying every day, not the 30-50 round ghetto mags. Speed loader holders for revolvers can be worn on your belt in the front. This will be a tough class for a revolver and not recommended. If you are shooting a low-capacity semi-auto we recommend 6-8 magazines.
Electronic hearing protection is mandatory.
A sturdy belt, hat with brim, wrap around impact resistant eye protection, pants with pockets, comfortable shoes or boots, etc. A dump pouch and shooting gloves are recommended. There is no need for knee pads as all shooting is done from standing. There is no need to cover, it is illegal to carry concealed anywhere in the State of Nevada if you do not possess a CCW honored by Nevada, including private property.
We also recommend sunscreen, electrolyte drinks (we will have water). We will have a short lunch break so bring a sack lunch.
Ammunition Requirements: 9mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, 10mm, .45 ACP, .38 Special, .357 mag, .380. Estimated round count 600-650 rounds. Bring 1000 rounds and you’ll go home with some, or we will store it for you until the next class if you are from out of town.
FYI: Foul language will not be tolerated.
