HANDGUN PROFICIENCY CLASS

Draw, Move, Shoot. All Before the Target Reaches You.

This class is for shooters who can already hit a target and are ready to do more than stand still. Handgun Proficiency builds the skills that matter outside the static range: drawing from a holster, shooting on the move, and staying accurate when the pressure is on. Not sure if you're ready? Start with our Beginner Handgun course first.

Skills you'll master:
  • Drawing from a holster with speed and control
  • Shooting accurately while moving in any direction
  • Magazine changes and reloads without breaking focus
  • Firing from behind cover and shooting on the move
  • Building the muscle memory that holds up under pressure

Ready to shoot accurately while moving?

Most shooters learn to shoot standing still, aimed at a target that isn't going anywhere. That's a good starting point, but it's not the whole picture.

This course is built around one principle: good technique doesn't stop when you start moving. Every drill is designed to build that connection, starting simple and adding complexity as your confidence grows. You'll begin with a single step and work up from there, always under close instructor supervision on a controlled range.

By the end of the course you'll have a level of comfort and capability with your firearm that a static range simply can't teach you.
