Introduction to Handgun

Don’t Be A Sitting Duck is trying to bridge the gap between a “first shots” course and military style training by offering “The Next Step” Handgun Course. By keeping these courses small and affordable we are trying to help the everyday shooter get access to training beyond the basic range visit. All our courses focus on safety, safety, safety all while helping you create more confidence with your handgun. Even as an experienced shooter this could be a great tune-up course for your skills with a handgun. We will even wrap up this course with the opportunity to clean your handgun to ensure you are ready to carry or come to the range next time. Sign up for a course today to take “The Next Step” with your handgun training.
