2-Gun: Pistol & Rifle

Class description:

Labeled as an intermediate course, this class is designed for shooters looking to dip their toe in the 2-Gun pool and start the journey of seeing what 2-Gun competitions are about. Prior experience handling both the pistol and rifle is required, as this class gets dynamic pretty quickly.

We will begin class with reviewing the fundamentals of pistol and rifle shooting and safe firearm handling, progressing forward into shooting strings of fire on both platforms, learning how to move with both platforms and how to transition between the two, while engaging multiple targets at varying distances. The culmination of this course will result in shooting multiple stages of fire with both platforms while also learning about spacial awareness, how to develop and execute a stage plan, and leaving the shooter with a sense of accomplishment and new skills to begin honing in on.

Students will complete this class having a clear understanding and ability to perform proper:

• Safe Firearm handling of both pistol and rifle

• Refined Grip

• Stance

• Marksmanship (accuracy)

• Reloads on both platforms

• Multiple target engagement

• Moving quickly and effectively with the pistol and rifle

• Engaging targets from various shooting positions

• Stage planning and execution of plan

• Develop the proper mindset needed to effectively learn a new skill set

What to Wear:

Comfortable shoes, as we will be on our feet all day. Pants with belt loops, that allow you to move comfortably, for the ladies I suggest wearing a high neck top. Please remember to bring your baseball cap. For the summer months, shorts are absolutely acceptable. For the winter months, I recommend wearing wool socks, long johns under your jeans, layering your tops and bring a jacket that prevents the wind from coming through.

Class duration:

We are slotted for a 6 hour class, however we will not be training for 6 hours straight.

We have accounted for needs like short breaks, lunch, extra time w students (if needed,) to insure you know we will not be going over 6 hours on the range at the most.

Lunch:

We will not have lunch available for you, please bring your own. Snacks are always a good idea, too.

Hydration:

It is vitally important you stay hydrated during our training, electrolytes are always a good idea, too. We recommend having a gallon of water on hand. We will be on our feet for most of our time together, so just keep that in mind!

We recommend hydrating 24 hours before hitting the range.
