WHY THIS COURSE

Most people who own a handgun have never had someone stand beside them and correct their grip, stance, and trigger. They practice the same mistakes.


This is that correction.


You work directly with Curtis R. Harwell. He watches how you handle the gun, stops what is unsafe or sloppy, and gives you a practice plan you can use after you leave.


WHAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO

• Handle, load, and unload the handgun safely

• Build a usable grip, stance, sight picture, and trigger press

• See why shots miss — and fix it

• Store, maintain, and practice at home without guessing


Two hours. Hands-on. No lecture-only class.


WHO IT IS FOR

• First-time owners

• Shooters with little or no formal training

• Returning shooters who need the fundamentals rebuilt

• Self-taught shooters who want a professional eye


No prior class required. Follow the safety rules and come ready to work.


WHAT TO BRING

• Semi-automatic or revolver

• 50–100 rounds of the correct ammunition

• Magazines or speedloaders

• Eye and ear protection

• Holster only if we tell you to bring one


Unsure about your gun or gear? Text before class. Do not guess.


THE RANGE

Private outdoor range. Small class. Instruction fitted to the person in front of him — not a script yelled down a line.


HOW TO RESERVE

Appointments Monday–Sunday, 8:30 AM–5:15 PM, except scheduled CWP Saturdays.


RESERVE YOUR SEAT


If you are bringing family, ask about the three-student rate when you reserve.
