Defensive Handgun

Come join us for an instructor-driven clinic to develop good defensive handgun skills and be challenged by ever-changing defensive scenarios.  Members and member-accompanied guests 11 years and older are welcome to attend to learn defensive handgun fundamentals. Minors 11-15 must be accompanied by a non-shooting adult at all times while on the range unless approved by Shootmaster.  We will have available instruction on handgun safety, defensive handgun practice, drawing from the holster, and rapid target engagement at distances from close contact to 45 feet. 

If you feel intimidated please join us on the 2nd Friday of the month session where in one night you will become a confident shooter! For first-time shooters or those who have never had formal handgun training, this class teaches you the basics of grip, stance, sight alignment and trigger control.

The second clinic of the month is held on the 4th Friday of the month. For those who have taken the Beginner Handgun class and have been approved by the Shootmaster, this clinic is designed to hone your skills to become a proficient, confident shooter. The class is limited only by the skills of who shows up, and can involve shooting while moving, multiple target acquisition, one-handed malfunction clearances and low-light shooting. No beginners allowed.


The Frontsight training methods will be used to guide you comfortably and safely through your training. If you have ever heard of Frontsight training in Nevada but could not afford to go, this clinic will help you get prepared for this great training.

Stan Luhr, an NRA RSO, pistol instructor, and 3-time Frontsight Distinguished graduate is your Shootmaster. The course is free for members and $10 for guests. Advanced registration is required as there will be a limited number of openings for each clinic. If you are a Frontsight graduate and want to help, please join us.
