Description

The goal of this class is to promote firearms safety and establish familiarity with common handguns used for self defense and range use. Aimed at new gun owners, everyone is invited to learn from NRA certified pistol instructors, the current best practices in the use of a handgun. This four (4) hour class is held at the Albany Rifle and Pistol Club and Training Facility. Class fee is $50 and includes a dated and signed certificate that allows the participant to apply for an Oregon Concealed Handgun License. Students will bring their own firearm and ammunition, which will be inspected by the instructor prior to class. Those without firearms or ammunition, may rent an ARPC firearm (typically a Glock, though others are available for those with weaker hands or who are left handed) for a fee of $5 for the rental and current market replacement cost for 50 rounds of ammunition. You will need to bring hearing and eye protection. We advise doubling up on ear pro by using both ear plugs as well as muffs. We will have ear plugs and eye pro available to loan or use for those who may need them. We try to keep the class size at a capacity of ten (10) or less, and we will have assistant instructors to maintain a ratio of one RSO per every 2 shooters. There are no prerequisites to this class, and the intent is to provide up to date training for those with little or no shooting experience. We have had experienced shooters of many years, who have had no formal training, benefit from taking this class. You may take this class more than once. It is suggested that you dress in layers to meet whatever weather conditions are current at the time of class. We advise caps, and clothing that is closed at the neck to minimize the risk of hot brass traveling to places that are sensitive. We will cover the following curriculum: Safety rules • Storage and transportation of firearms • Discuss handgun types • Magazines and loaders • Ammunition choices • The use of handgun sights • What to expect at the range • Range commands • The five items you need at the range besides the firearm • The seven fundamentals of shooting • Shooting positions • Common shooting errors • Cleaning your gun Class is held in the ARPC North Range Classroom (NRC) and Bay 1.
