General information
AP101 Introduction to Boulder Rifle Club Action Pistol Shooting:
Starting with safety, we'll relate the basics of safe gun handling to the realities of a match situation. The class will cover everything you'll need and most of what you'll want to know about getting started in the BRC Pistol matches.
At the least, it's good practice, a good bunch of people and a great time. You've probably got most of the gear already; a serviceable pistol, strong side belt mounted holster, spare magazines or speed loaders, shooting glass and ear protection... (oh, and some ammo).
Lecture topics will include match safety, etiquette, equipment, draw strokes, grip, recoil control, shooting positions and targets. Participants will have the opportunity to practice these techniques and the class will end with shooting an actual stage under the supervision of a Range Officer.
Program will start at 10:00 AM, with signup at 9:30 in the classroom, and will run until 3:00 PM with a break for lunch (bring your lunch). Class will be held in the classroom and on the 25-yard range.
