Weapons Training (Pistol)

Firearms can be intimidating, and the entire gun scene may feel overwhelming. However, shooting firearms is a fun, exciting, and empowering activity that helps take confidence to another level. More importantly, it can be the very thing that saves you or your families’ life. If you decide you want to own a gun, a responsible gun owner learns how to use it effectively and safely. Athena Defense Group offers a Basic Pistol Course I and II.

In the Basic Pistol Course I, we will spend 60 minutes in a relaxed classroom environment covering basic pistol fundamentals, mechanics, and safety to include:
