This course is designed for the shooter who wants to become proficient with the revolver either for sport, defensive use, or just to advance their understanding of different weapon systems. In this class we will cover the basics of revolver shooting (including grip and how/why it might differ from semi-auto handguns), as well as sighting systems common with the revolver. We will also cover the draw stroke, reloading, common malfunctions with the revolver, and maintenance. This course will leave the shooter with a different and deeper appreciation for the revolver.
