A Great Start Shooting School offers classes custom fit, just for you.

Gun Handling & Shooting
This is an hour and a half long course that will help you learn how to safely handle a firearm. It teaches you the safety mechanisms, how to load, unload, and handle a gun safely. This class is both classroom and range time.

Action Shooting Sports
Action shooting sports allow you to shoot and move. They are very fun and are why I practice.
For this class we will be going through simple courses of fire.

Find Your Perfect Gun
This class is for new pistol permit holders or shoppers who want to figure out what their “next” gun will be. During the class we will be cataloging what you like and what you don’t like about each gun. Guns range from pocket carry guns to full size target guns.

PISTOL PERMIT CLASS

The process begins in your town or city. You will need to go to the local police station or town hall and pick up your “Pistol Permit Application Package”. It’s similar in each town, but not the same. For more information head to the Pistol Permit Process page.
