Handgun Skill Builder Hour
2025-07-17 12:30 - 13:30, 2025-06-24 12:30 - 13:30 | MN
These sessions are designed for those students who have learned the fundamentals of shooting and firearms safety and are wondering, “What next? How do I get better?” We get asked this often from new and experienced shooters alike who want to continue improving. It could be accuracy, target acquisition, speed, trigger finger discipline, etc. etc. Whatever your goal, we will assist you in improving your fundamentals from your current level.
Shooters should have taken our Intro To Handgun and Next Steps classes, or have the minimum equivalent skill set to register for these sessions. Each Skill Builder hour is limited to four shooters with lots of individualized instruction based on your personal skill set. We will do a basic review of firearm safety and shooting fundamentals, and then move onto the range for evaluation and practice. Before concluding, shooters will receive instruction and demonstration of different training drills that can be practiced at home and at the range to improve their skills from where they are currently. With specific drills, you can monitor your progress and shooting proficiency with the goal of improving your accuracy and/or speed with each shooting session.
Sill Builder Hours: $75.00 plus tax.
Equipment Needed: ear/eye protection, minimum of 100 rounds of ammunition, functioning/safe handgun or revolver, and 2 handgun magazines
