What you'll learn, what to bring, and how to prepare.

  • Price: $50.00

Prerequisite: Handgun Fundamentals or Equivalent

Handgun Close Quarters will teach you how to manipulate your firearm when you are too close to perform a full draw stroke or be in ideal conditions. Statistics say that you are most likely to find yourself in an encounter at 21 feet or less, with the less being 7 feet or closer. Many homes can create this close encounter or being in highly populated situations like restaurants or festivals. Important fundamentals like grip, sight picture/sight alignment, and trigger management will be emphasized.

Although this class is taught by NRA and OPOTA Certified firearm Instructors, it is not an NRA Certified class. Upon completion of the class, you will receive a Vance Outdoors Certificate of Completion, signed by your instructors.

For this class you will need a reliable pistol, strong side holster, magazine carrier, spare magazines (we recommend at least 3), sturdy belt, eye, and ear protection, and 200 rounds of ammunition.
