So i did take this class on Saturday and full disclosure this was my first training class EVER. My class was taught by a gentleman from the North Hills Police Department and a firearms instructor with the military and police. the first hour of the class was instructional consisting of his background, basic firearm use instruction (most will know this), and some demonstration of what we will actually utilize on the range during live fire. My class was small, 4 people, so we got some additional shooting time because there weren't a lot of questions during the instruction.
During the live fire we started empty to practice the draw and presentation. then transitioned to live fire from draw in varying volleys of 1 to 5 shots. they also incorporate dummy rounds and have a range partner load your mag with multiple live and 1 dummy round to work yourself through tap, rack, go and malfunction drills. the furthest they had targets out was 3-5 yards. there is room for comfort here because the instructor allows people to move the targets back based on their groupings.
while they don't currently offer a class that builds on this content, they are in the process of creating one. However, they do offer a couple other handgun training including low light and a more entry level intro to handgun
my biggest take away from the class is now that i have taken this class i am "qualified" to draw from the holster at their range. but i am also going to be doing much more dry fire practice at home to gain confidence and technique from the draw. This is something that i am unable to do at my home range in Murrysville (Crowfoot) along with double taps or "rapid fire" drills.
Hope this helps some folks. Oh class on Saturday is at 8am before it opens to the public. Doors open at roughly 7:30 so you may have to chill in the parking lot for a bit if you're an early bird.
