Finally – a firearms course that teaches ALL the basics that everyone should know, yet few people do.
Experience firearms preparedness from A to Z. By the end of this (Part 1) course you will understand the basics of selecting, handling and maintaining your own firearms. You will understand differences in ballistics and ammunition, zeroing your weapons, and how to break down, maintain and reassemble various handguns and rifles. Finally, you will have a chance to handle and work with several various types of pistols and rifles, and get a feel for what works best for you.
Many people either want to or have purchased firearms but don’t have a good opportunity to learn the basics of firearms handling and maintenance, as well as get an idea of what firearms will work well for them personally (size, feel, etc.). Additionally, they may not understand what is involved in basic firearms maintenance of each of those firearms (field stripping, maintenance and reassembly), what the difference in caliber size means on practical level (usage, availability of ammo, ballistics, etc.) and what the advantages and disadvantages of any given firearm are in regards to preparedness.
