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.

Come and learn about handguns. How to load, grip, sight alignment, stance and more. Have questions regarding how a gun works, self-defense or any other topic involving firearms, this is the class for you. If you do not own a firearm I have several for you to try. Cost is $75 and preregistration is required with a $25 non-refundable deposit and balance due at the door. Bring your firearm if you have one, the proper ammo for it, eye protection, ear protection and a baseball cap. If you do not own a pistol or revolver, bring 9mm Ruger/ Parabellum and/or .22LR ammo to use in the firearms I have available. If you do not have eye/ear protection, I have those available for your use as well. To register contact Dolly at 360-978-4338.

Learn how a pistol functions, how to load one, how to grip it, stand, sight alignment and press the trigger. We will touch on what is considered self-defense and what isn’t. You do not have to own a pistol to take this class. Come and learn what to take into consideration when purchasing your first firearm. I have several different sizes of handguns to try on for size. The fee for this class is $75 which includes a $25 non-refundable deposit, balance due at the door. Class size is limited to 6 so preregistration is a must. If there is not at least 3 registered for this class it will be rescheduled, so please register early to reserve your spot. Bring your firearm if you have one, if not, bring a box of 9mm Luger/Parabellum and/or .22LR to use in the firearms I have. Also bring eye/ear protection (I have extra of those too) and a baseball cap. Any questions and/or to register please call Dolly at 360-978-4338.
