About this course:
The ARPC is offering a basic BEGINNING handgun course intended for people over age 18 who have had little, if any, previous firearm training. This course is also open to the public. Instructors are ARPC Range Safety Officers and the curriculum is patterned after the NRA Beginning Handgun Course. This is not a concealed carry license class. Instruction is free as is the use of our firearms; though to cover costs of ammunition we charge $20 cash per person at the event. However, you may bring your own handgun with factory ammunition. We expect each participant to fire around 50 to 100 rounds. This is a 2.5-3 hour class, with classroom and live fire instruction.
We will review:
• Safety rules
• Storage and transportation of firearms
• Discuss handgun types
• Magazines and loaders
• Ammunition choices
• The use of handgun sights
• What to expect at the range
• Range commands
• The five items you need at the range besides the firearm
• The seven fundamentals of shooting
• Shooting positions
• Common shooting errors
• Cleaning your gun
Future training opportunities will also be explored. The second Sunday of each month is reserved from 12:30-3:30pm. Please keep an eye on the calendar in case we need to change a date. This class has limited attendance but will be repeated monthly. For questions and to sign up please contact Jim at jim6br@gmail.com.
