Name: National Rifle Association (NRA) Basics of Pistol Shooting-Phase 2

This course teaches the novice to beginner shooter the basic fundamentals about pistols. If you have a License To Carry(LTC)/ Concealed Handgun License (CHL) and would like to get to know your weapon then this is the course for you! If you do not have LTC/CHL and is contemplating obtaining such license, but is unfamiliar about pistols then this is the course for you! 

 

 

You will need to bring a pistol or revolver (a minimum of a 22 caliber). If you do not have a handgun, GTAS will provide handguns and ammo FREE OF CHARGE at regular price. If you would like to use your own handgun, D-Range will have ammunition for sale.
******If you use your own handgun, you will need at least 200 rounds of ammunition for the firearm that you will be shooting.*******

It is highly recommended that you have your own weapon due to the un-familiarization of a different or used handgun.
