Event Description:

Our Beginners Workshop provides “basic training” for new handgun owners and shooters who want to refresh their skills. This is a dry-fire event that covers all the basics of handgun safety and operation in one 4-hour session. Includes many skills needed to get your Safe Shooter certification. Enrollment is limited so that you get lots of personal attention.

In this workshop you will:

• Handle a variety of real handguns safely – using non-firing dummy training rounds – under the supervision of ADTA Range Safety Officers.
• Learn how to hold, aim and dry-fire a handgun.
• Learn how to draw from the holster.
• Learn how to earn your ADTA “Safe Shooter” certification and get signed off on some of the requirements.

Event includes these Safe Shooter requirements:

• The 4 Basic Rules of Gun Safety.

• The 12-Step Basic Dry-Fire Exercise.

• The 5-Step Basic Holster Exercise.

• Naming the parts of a pistol & revolver.

• Dealing with unsafe gun handling.
