Many shooters do not get to practice handgun presentation from the holster as often as they would like. And they do not have the opportunity to practice with an instructor or coach helping to refine the draw stroke. This class will provide the students with the chance to refine their draw stroke, with an eye to getting a solid first round, or controlled pair on target, in the most efficient manner possible. This class will focus on the draw stroke under the following conditions. Open holster. With turns from 90 degrees and 180 degrees. Open front concealment garment. Closed front (such as a tee shirt, sweat shirt etcetera) garment. Seated positions. Many of the exercises will be practiced both dry and with live fire.

1. Handgun. Center fire only, no rimfire handguns. 2. Three magazines or three speed loaders if using a revolver. 3. 300 rounds minimum ammo. 4. Proper clothing for the weather. 5.
