BEGINNER PISTOL CLASS

   Beginner Pistol focuses on education and skills training necessary for a solid foundation using the handgun. This is an 8 hour course that covers both the revolver and semi-automatic handgun. The typical caliber pistols that we see in new shooter classes are the 9mm, 380, 38, 357, 40, 45 and 22. The classroom portion covers Pennsylvania law regarding the use of a firearm in Self Defense Situations. Criminal and Civil Liability issues are discussed. The function and safe handling of Semi-Automatic and Revolver handguns are covered through videos and hands on training. The cleaning and maintenance of handguns are also covered in this class. The student will also learn about the difference in bullet types and gunpowder charges. Hands on training will be conducted prior to going out on the range that will get you comfortable with safely loading/ unloading of the handgun using Dummy Rounds. Clearing of malfunctions and range command training will conclude the classroom portion of the training.

     The range portion of the class will have the Instructors working with you on stance, grip,    sight alignment, breath control, trigger press and follow through. A variety of drills that will focus on marksmanship using 50 rounds of ammo will be conducted. Our ultimate goal is to have the students put consistent rounds on target at the conclusion of this class. Required equipment for this class will be Baseball style hat, eye protection, ear protection, functioning handgun and 50 rounds of ammo. Please wear comfortable clothing and dress for the weather. Avoid wearing open toe shoes and lower cut shirts to ensure safety on the range. I also follow Covid-19 Guidelines for class safety. For those desiring a Private Training experience I offer Single and Couples Classes. Please call for a quote and a flexible schedule of class availability. Thanks for your Consideration! Craig


STREET SELF DEFENSE

    Street Self Defense is a course that I have designed for Individuals, Couples, Family, Community and Church Groups. This is a hybrid course that I have developed from a number of training disciplines. I have travelled throughout the United States over the past 25 years in order to train with and draw information from some of the leaders in the Self Defense Industry.  The product that I have created provides a solid foundation to anyone concerned about their personal safety. I have also travelled extensively outside of the United States. I believe that my training product is applicable for the challenges of personal safety when travelling off shore. This customizable training gives you solutions on how to adapt self-defense to areas where your safety depends on skills without the use of a firearm. The course hours are customizable to the size and needs of the class. I conduct private classes to those looking for a personalized training experience and flexible class schedule.

   This course also teaches concepts demonstrating that personal safety is not dependent on your age, gender, size or physical condition. I have taught persons confined to wheelchairs and those with limited mobility. I address Federal and Pennsylvania laws regarding the Use of Force in Self Defense. This includes discussion of Criminal and Civil Liability issues that arise when using any type of force. This course will bring awareness to you of the many environmental tools available for your personal safety.    The Street Self Defense Course can be expanded into the areas of defense against Home Invasion, Mall Parking Lots, Schools and Church attacks. Feel free to contact me for a discussion of your specific needs and I will quote you the number of hours needed and cost for the class. I follow Covid-19 Health Guidelines and have been vaccinated. Thank you for your consideration! Craig
