“”The best time to learn anything, from first aid to firearm operation, is before you need it. The worst time to learn it is when you need that knowledge the most and yet know nothing.” Come and learn how to operate a handgun. Learn how to grip, align sights, press the trigger, how to stand and more. Don’t have a handgun, no problem. Just bring 9mm Luger/Parabellum and/or .22LR and you can use mine.

Time to learn how to shoot. Time to learn about defending yourself and those you love. Self-defense begins with “self”. Help isn’t always around when you need it the most. Come and learn.
I will instruct on the basic safety of firearms, how to grip, stand, aim, trigger press, and other issues involving firearms. If you do not have a handgun, I have a couple 9mm and a couple .22’s for you to try. Bring eye/ear protection (I have extra of these as well), your firearm if you have one, the proper ammo for that firearm, a baseball cap and a notebook to take notes. If you do not have a firearm, bring a box of 9mm Luger/Parabellum and/or .22LR to use in my firearms.
Fee is $75 and preregistration is required with a $25 non-refundable deposit and $50 balance due at the door. Please call Dolly at 360-978-4338 to register. Space is limited so, again, preregistration is required.
