The Barrel & Hatchet Contender Pistol Course introduces the students to the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary for owning, using, and defending themselves with a red dot, or iron sight pistol safely.  Throughout the course, students will learn about red dot characteristics, how to zero a red dot sight, and methods to consistently “Find the Dot.” Students running iron sights will learn proper fundamentals and quick ways to achieve sight alignment. The course builds the foundation for a 4 stage draw, mastering smooth footwork and proper stance. Students will also be confident in their weapons handling abilities and be able to maneuver safely in any environment. This course will also have multiple dynamic drills designed to reinforce the skills learned by the student. This course builds a strong foundation in the fundamentals and gives the student the confidence and ability to be an asset with their pistol skills in any run & gun scenario.     Course Materials Provided by Instructor
