Further Camp Description:
Practical Handgun is another way to say “action handgun” or “action shooting.” Campers are first taught safety rules (again and again.) Then instructors will work with campers “one on one” with grip, stance and sight picture and trigger control. After that will come introduction into drawing the gun from the holster and shooting while on the move or moving with a range officer from one box to another on the stage.
Camps can be offered in a variety of combinations. Handgun camps can be offered as a combination of beginner and intermediate. There is also a “combo” camp offered that is the handgun and rifle (AR-15 format). This “combo” camp of two different firearms is a little more demanding: The first two days of camp are about handgun. The last day of camp integrates learning how to shoot an AR-15 rifle at a variety of distances and from a variety of positions; from prone to up and moving.
