Pistol Kick-Start

One-day instruction on pistol shooting fundamentals

This course is the ideal introduction for new shooters. It is part of the fundamental education in pistol shooting. The course is equally well suited for already experienced shooters who would like to confirm their basic skills or close some gaps in them.


Safety and success in shooting are based on a few basic techniques and skills, on a foundation. Similar to a wall built with layers of bricks on top of each other. If the lower brick layers have gaps or are fragile, then the stability and safety of the whole structure gets compromised. It pays to lay a solid foundation and build stable fundamentals.

​

As a responsible firearm owner, it is essential to get a solid basic education. As a sports shooter, remember this: The sport is 'only' a game, but the guns are real and they are not toys!​
