Are you a new shooter? New to carrying a firearm on you? Planning to begin carrying a firearm in your daily life? Worried about carrying a firearm? Are you an experienced concealed carry permit holder looking for some new information and techniques? This class will have something for everyone to learn or improve on.

OnSight Firearms Training will be hosting a “Pistol Handling Seminar” This class will focus on many integral aspects of defensive pistol fighting in a “dry-fire” setting, using dummy rounds or dry fire for many drills.

While this will be a “dry fire” class, its importance is not to be overlooked.

This course will cover key aspects in ensuring a smooth, clean and quick holster draw as well as several drills and techniques designed to focus the shooter on specific movements and techniques imperative to carrying and using a handgun. While much focus is placed on "live fire" drills and techniques, quite often the fundamentals of using a handgun for self defense and many of the mechanical and technical details are too often neglected.

This is an opportunity to focus on the lead up and after effects of a shot, as the stress and pressure of shot placement and live fire is removed. This is a light, fun class that will provide the beginner and intermediate shooter, as well as the advanced with plenty to challenge themselves.

THIS IS A "DRY FIRE" COURSE - NO LIVE AMMUNITION IS NEEDED NOR WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE CLASS.
