Group Training – Pistol Basics

3 Hour Course

Location: Saltwaters Shooting Club – 900 Big Oak Rd. St. Augustine, FL

This is NOT a private class. This class has the potential to have students you don’t know in it. If you want a private option, please see Private Custom Training option. This class is reserved for adults that are of legal age and status to own and possess a firearm. However, this class will be limited to 5 students max. This allows for more individual attention while still achieving curriculum objectives. The focus will still be on the fundamentals. Our goal is to push each student’s cognitive load to their individual limit without overwhelming them. In doing so, retention of skills is more successful.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
