Defensive Handgun Course
Please consider joining our email list to be notified of future Shooting Range programs and events! (Joining the email list does not sign you up for the course!)
Registration and payment can be completed online or at the SDC Ticket Office. Shooting Range release, safety briefing, and weapons registry will be completed on course day. The SDC is not responsible for lost or stolen property. Please do not leave valuables unattended.
Our Defensive Handgun Course is designed to educate the students about the handguns that are best for personal defense. There will be some time on the range and in the classroom. We will go over the draw stroke, moving and shooting, the plausibility principle, and the balance of speed and precision. We will also cover Defensive Accuracy, Lateral Motion, the Critical Incident Reload, Volume of Fire, and Realistic Training for Target Engagement. No experience is necessary. Class size is limited.
