​

Starting from the ground floor - Specifically for women students with minimum or no handgun experience.  We take you from box to backstop with both revolvers and semi-automatic handguns.  Starting with terminology, semantics, field-stripping your handgun, cleaning, operation, ammunition and malfunction types and basic discussion and implementation of operating your handgun, and learning to field strip your firearm and put it back together.  Students will make their way to the range using basic stances for shooting.  The goal is safety, confidence, and competency.  Satisfies ORS 166.291 for Oregon Concealed Handgun licensing.

​
