Description:
The “Advanced Handgun 1” course is designed to introduce you to or
reinforce critical tools and techniques that can enhance the opportunity to
win a deadly force encounter. Whether your role is protection of self and
family, protection of the community that you serve, or simply the student
who knows that you can never stop learning, you can benefit from this
course. It is designed to help us start shifting our thinking from the range to
the street.
In this course you will learn, among other things, how to respond to threats
that come from the side or behind. We will also cover how to stay in the
fight if you only have one hand to use for shooting due to injury or children
in tow. We will look at how to see your world in a clearer way. We will talk
about a typical body reaction to an attack that is unfolding and why violent
criminals don’t want us to know this. We will spend time with a ready
position that allows us to look around without muzzling innocent
bystanders.
This course is taught by a seasoned Front Sight Range Master. Art Radlicki
is an instructor who has decades of experience in teaching others in the
use of firearms. Whether that instruction was for defense, hunting, or just
safe recreational shooting, students have enjoyed his non ‘drill instructor’
approach to teaching. Art has said, “Effective learning happens best in a
safe, structured, but enjoyable atmosphere.”

Description:
If you are new to handguns this is the class for you. If you want to purchase a handgun but don’t have the knowledge to make the best decision about your need, this class will give the pros and cons of a variety of handguns so you can know what will work best for your purpose.
An Introduction to Handguns is a four hour course. The first two hours will be conducted in the classroom and will include a power point presentation which covers:
Safety – the universally accepted four basic rules of firearm safety, and the essential application of those rules; preparation of a Home Safety Plan.
Types of firearms with specifics about various mechanisms and which would be most suitable for your specific needs; nomenclature of handgun types, the various parts and features of the respective handguns; the balance of size, weight, concealability and simplicity of operation.
Upon completion of the classroom lecture and discussion, each student will have the opportunity to handle and examine the various firearms. After picking two handguns the student will do exercises in the classroom to provide familiarity and ease of operation. The student will then participate in exercises that help the student mentally organize the information from the class room lectures and discussion into the methods of actually manipulating and firing the handgun.
After the student exercises in the classroom the students will move to the indoor range where a live fire drill will be conducted to let the students experience the recoil, sound and control features of the various firearms. If the student brings a personally owned handgun it can be used in the live fire segment. If the student does not have a handgun rental guns will be available.
At the end of the class a debriefing will be conducted in the classroom to help each student evaluate his or her comfort level and to determine the next appropriate class. There will NOT be a test at the conclusion of the class.
The final portion of the class will be a brief discussion of advance classes, which would lend guidance to the next level of development and perfection of your skills. Further, the instructor will provide information about other training opportunities provided by the Smoking Gun Range Facility.
Must have:
Equipment: Eye & ear protection, a ball cap with a bill, your handgun, or you can use one of our rentals, appropriate ammunition for the handgun. A holster is not required for this course.
