It has been our experience that the majority of gun owners are safe, and can hit the target. It is also our experience that the one thing that many shooters lack is a solid understanding of marksmanship fundamentals and weapons handling skills. Shooters often feel behind, and want to run before they crawl and walk. They many want to attend a course, but are self conscious about their skill level. If the above describes you, our new Everything but the Bang Workshops are for you. The classroom environment will be safe, friendly, and and provide an environment conducive with learning. We will work on the Selection, Carry, Deployment, and Use of the pistol, shotgun, and rifle for the armed citizen. Techniques taught are based on human anatomy & utilizing economy of motion to work with all body types , as well as continuity between types of firearms. Students are encouraged to bring your own firearms, and a Blue Gun , with holster. We provide dummy rounds, along with other training tools. Some topics covered include-

Grip (one / two hand shooting)
