Critical Pistol Skills (Lee Weems)

Course Content:

This 300 round course develops the skills needed to successfully operate a pistol with either hand. Students will learn through a progression of freestyle and dominant hand only drills to ultimately draw, reload, and clear malfunctions using only their non-dominant hand. It is much more convenient to learn how to do this on the range than to have to figure it out under incoming fire.

Prerequisites: 

This is not a course for the first time student. Enrollment is limited to students who have already completed training from a recognized instructor that included drawing, reloading, etc, under time constraints. Graduates from a law enforcement academy, IDPA Sharpshooter class or USPSA C-class shooters or higher will also be accepted. Other students may be admitted with approval from the instructor. Please don’t hesitate to ask.

You will need a quality semi-automatic pistol and ammunition that will function in your pistol. Your holster should be one that does not collapse when the pistol is drawn and allows for one-handed re-holstering. Holsters that require the use of the trigger finger to disengage a retention device, such as a Blackhawk Serpa, are strongly discouraged. At least three magazines and 300 rounds of ammo are needed. Shooters need eye and ear protection as well as a hat with a brim. Shooters should bring whatever personal comfort items such as drinks, food, chairs, etc. that they wish to have.

The cost for this course is $100.00. A spot in the class may be reserved by making a $50.00 non-refundable deposit (credit card fees apply if paying online). The balance is due on the date of the class.

Weather Policy:

If the weather is such that it jeopardizes the students’ safety, the class will be postponed or delayed as appropriate. Otherwise, the class will go forth as scheduled rain or shine.

Cancellation Policy:

The deposit is non-refundable if you choose not to attend the class. If the range were to cancel, full refunds will be made. I reserve the right to cancel the class and grant full refunds if fewer than five students sign up for the class.
