On 9/26/15- Richard will be teaching a set of two classes at South River Gun Club in Covington, Georgia. The first class will be a Level 1: Introduction to Handguns class and will last from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. The afternoon class will be a Level 2: Personal Protection with a Handgun class and will last from 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Who should take Level 2?

So you have some shooting experience but never had any formal training? Not brand new to firearms, or graduated from our Level 1 or NRA Basic Pistol Course? We can help hone your skills and push you to a more proficient level of handgun knowledge. The pre-requisite to this class is a safe demonstration of handling a handgun... That's it... With that said, if someone who has grown up shooting is looking to get some formal training, we can push the pace of their experience to make sure that they are safely reaching the next level of training. This class covers slightly more advanced topics such as drawing from a holster, safely moving with a firearm, identifying and correcting malfunctions, reloading a handgun, and more. Again- safety is always our top priority, but a fun way to push your skillset is also high on our list of goals for each of our students. The tuition for this course is $140, and will cover your range fees, eye/ear protection (if needed), and provide you with all course materials. If you already own a firearm that you want to bring, we certainly welcome that. If not, we have firearm rentals available as well. We have a limit of slots for this course, and it is first-come, first-serve. Want to sign up? Register with only a $50 deposit at the link below:

Who should take Level 1?

If you're a new shooter with little or no experience, then YOU SHOULD. The Level 1 class is a SAFE and FUN introduction to handguns and will allow you to familiarize yourself with the functions of a semi-automatic pistol. If you've never shot a gun before in your life, or if you have and are just looking to get some formal training, this is an easy way to do it. At the end of this course, students can expect to be able to identify all of the major parts of semi-automatic handgun, safely assess the operating condition of that firearm, load/unload it, and safely/effectively fire it at distances out to 10 yards or more. We believe in introducing you to how the firearm works so that you can more effectively overcome your anxiety about manipulating a handgun. While our top priority is always safety, we also strive to make sure that the students have a great time so that they can learn to love firearms as much as we do! The tuition for this course is $140, and will cover your range fees, eye/ear protection (if needed), and provide you with all course materials.
