Safariland Shooting School - Handgun III
Learn the basics of becoming a first-rate shot

Upcoming Courses

Course Overview

This is our most intensive shooting course and covers scenarios that will be extremely challenging to nearly any shooter. Students will learn the skills necessary to operate their handgun with maximum efficiency in any combat shooting situation. As with all Safariland Shooting School courses, the baseline skills of each student are determined by a minimum qualification course. At the completion of the course, the student will be tested again to measure improvement. Each student will have the opportunity for one-on-one instruction, starting with a personal skills evaluation. This allows the instructor and student to form a personalized lesson plan that the student will follow until completion of the course. Two instructors will be present at each class, so plenty of trigger time and one-on-one instruction is the rule, not the exception.

Taught by Lead Instructor Mike Lehner of the award-winning Team Safariland competitive shooting team, this is not a beginner course. It is considerably more advanced than a basic academy post firearms course. This course may not make you a superior shot, but it will send you away with a game plan for making you one if you follow the prescribed action plan.

This course will focus on advanced handgun techniques, such as, but not limited to:

• Speed
• Accuracy
• Movement while shooting
• Moving-target engagement
• Multiple target movement drills
• Extreme accuracy and speed drills
• "Team" shooting, movement and communication
• Shooting from/around vehicles
• Troubleshooting
• Night shooting
• Concealed weapon/off-duty skills
• Self-diagnoses, and what to do with that information
• Mechanical issues with your pistol and related gear
• Final examination, skills test
