* HRA = Hawaii Rifle Association (Hawaii Branch of NRA), LIFE = Lessons In Firearms Education (the only non-profit organization dedicated to the education of proper firearms handling)
** This session will build on the last sesson of shooting fundamentals. We will be going over industry standard practices on clearing the three types of malfunction clearing drills for handguns. We will also be going over the industry standard practices of proactive/reactive loading procedures and their uses. If there is time, we will run the stanard 50/60 round police qualification course. If anyone knows what the specific HPD course is, let me know.
I have been asked countless times to detail the differences of the various handung available on the market. If anyone is interested, I can also go over the various pistol operating systems and discuss why they are designed the way they are.
*** Free time is open to shooting any size handgun and rifles 7.62x39 or smaller (sorry no .308/7.62x51, etc. at this short distance). Bring out any plastic bottles (no glass) filled with water, wet phone books, wooded scraps, etc... to shoot at. This is always a fun time for all. Also bring a trash bag to pick up your stuff that you bring out as well. As a reminder, we will be holding a cold range with guns only loaded on the firing line just before shooting. Holster use will only be allowed for those individuals who have completed the previous holster seminars.
Please bring your own cardboard and sticks for your use. We will have some available for use if you forget, but it is better to have nice sticks and boards than our crappy ones anyway. Donations of your materials to our cause will be recieved with gratitude.
