What is First Shots?

Our First Shots Pistol class is designed specifically for new and beginner shooters. No previous experience is required, and our knowledgeable instructors will guide you every step of the way.

During this 2–3 hour hands-on class, you’ll learn:

• Firearm safety fundamentals
• How pistols operate
• Safe handling techniques
• Basic marksmanship fundamentals
• One-on-one live-fire coaching on the range

Our goal is to create a comfortable, supportive environment where you can ask questions, gain confidence, and develop the skills needed to become a safe and responsible firearm owner.

Why Learn Together?

Everything is better with a friend.

Whether you’re introducing someone to the shooting sports or both trying something new, attending together allows you to:

• Build confidence alongside someone you know
• Encourage each other throughout the class
• Practice together after the course
• Create a shared experience you’ll both remember
