The Self Defense and Home Defense Pistol series of classes at HW Range lasts two hours and run in a three-course series (some take all three classes, some only one or two). We cover everything from the basics all the way through moving and shooting, reloads, using cover/concealment, and much more. Our goal in the later phases is to create a stress factor for our students in order to best simulate real-life shooting scenarios. Please don’t forget to bring a friend!
Phase I is not a first time introductory class, we suggest scheduling private instruction with one of our trainers prior to signing up for this informative series.
Phase I: Without a firm foundation you will never become a solid shooter. Phase I is all about the basics. At the conclusion of this phase, we will put a business card on a target edge toward you and you will split it in half!
Phase II: Phase II starts with safely getting your gun in and out of your holster. Phase II was built around the number one rule of gun fighting: “No one stands still.” Whether you are creating separation from your target, moving to find cover, or headed down a hall to secure your children, there is always somewhere to go. In Phase II we learn how to accomplish this task while engaging multiple targets and properly using cover lines.
Phase III: Our goal for the student in Phase III is to begin to operate his/her weapon system on a subconscious level, and the only effective way to do this is through high intensity training. Drills in phase three include: making speed and tactical reloads, shooting from the driver’s seat of a vehicle, distinguishing the target, and learning how to individually breakdown tactical and self-defense scenarios.
Price: $85 per phase
(After completing all 3 phases you can return to any class for only $25)
Course Length: 2 hours
Prerequisite: You must have had either a Private Lesson or a Concealed Handgun License prior to sign-up. Students must take Phase I before II, Phase II before III .

Phase II will also need: a hard sided holster (such as Kydex) designed specifically to securely hold your pistol on your belt holster. No Serpa holsters are allowed at the range.
