This long range handgun course is not offered very often and is limited in class size to a maximum of 10 students. The class will focus on using the ballistics of the individual’s handgun choice for shooting out to 200 yards. The Extended range handgun class is a great class for those interested in handgun hunting, as well as those who want a different and more challenging perspective for handgun shooting. After shooting at targets over 100 yards away with your handgun, 25-yard targets will seem pedestrian. Prerequisites: Knowledge of handgun shooting basics. Equipment:
