TacSkills

The TacSkills Pistol Fundamentals Course is designed to teach students about the key principles of pistol shooting. In this course students will learn proper techniques for drawing, holding, reloading, pulling the trigger, and transitioning from one target to another.

This course is ideal for beginners WITH a basic level of prior firearms experience to intermediate shooters seeking to improve their fundamentals, and taking a more practical shooting approach with tactical considerations. In this course students will learn proper techniques including draw, grip, trigger press, reloading methods, and target transitions.

Who this course is for: This course is designed for students that have a basic level of firearm experience. What does this mean? This means students should be comfortable with clearing their firearm, safely holstering and unholstering (no finger on the trigger), and locking/ unlocking their slide in place. If someone should show up to this course unable to preform basic concepts they may be asked to return for a better suited course or not permitted to use live ammo during this course. This will be up to the discretion of our course instructors.
