Next Steps Handgunning


Next Steps Handgunning is an intermediate handgunning class designed to take graduates of the basic IHW and CWP classes to the next level of handgunning.

This one-day class is done all at the shooting range (no classroom portion) and covers more firearm safety, tactics, and many more advanced shooting skills than those covered in the basic class.

The skills covered in this class include:  multiple shots at targets, shooting multiple targets, speed reloads standing and on the move, shooting from kneeling, weak and strong hand shooting, shooting from cover, shooting on the move, shooting under stress, and more.  Students will shoot 300 to 350 rounds of ammunition.  Tuition for this class is $150 and classes are limited to 10 students.  The class lasts from 9 AM to 4:30 PM with 30 minutes for a brown bag lunch about Noon.

Comments from class graduates:

"Next Steps Handgunning" was a useful and enjoyable follow-up to the CWP class.  We spent a full day at the range, developing skills introduced in the basic class and learning a variety of new ones.  Instruction was clear and positive, and there was plenty of quality practice time.  As always, Gary and his assistants made sure that safety and FUN were paramount, so this class deserves an enthusiastic "thumbs up"!

Gary,
That was a very valuable day with you Saturday. It was hard work -- I was exhausted by the end-and I enjoyed every minute of it! Well-worth the 200-mile drive each way.

You are an excellent teacher. I'd highly recommend your classes to anyone serious about gun safety and improving their shooting
performance.

Thank you for taking such good care of our safety and helping us learn so much.

Best regards,
Robert, Bozeman
