DEFENSIVE HANDGUN

The DH1 class is a great place to start for students new to handgun shooting, students new to professional training with handguns, or even well trained individuals looking to brush up on the core fundamentals.

WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO IN THE CLASS

While many people own handguns, most people do not know how to effectively use them. The Defensive Handgun 1 (DH1) course addresses basic skills of gun safety, drawing, loading, and malfunctions.


Some advanced skills such as firing at extended distance, moving targets, shooting and moving, basic tactics, low light handgun operation (handheld tactical-style flashlight required, button on tail-cap), and other issues specific to the defensive use of a handgun are also covered in this class.
