BASIC HANDGUN

Great course for the beginner, for those who want a review of the fundamentals, or for those that desire instruction on the use of a handgun in a self-defense situation. Only $40 for 1-1/2 hours. Includes everything (guns, ammo, targets, range, etc.). Bring your gun or use ours. These are semiprivate lessons offered two to three Saturdays each the month from 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM.

A Note To Outside Concealed Carry Training Instructors: Target World does not allow outside instructors to use our range for training.  The primary reason is that we have to limit scheduled activities such as outside concealed carry classes in order to keep the range open to the public. We never know when our range will be full, so with few exceptions, we do not allow groups to schedule our range for use.  If instructors were to be tying up lanes for extended periods, during busy times customers coming in to shoot would have unnecessarily long waits to get on a lane. The second reason is that we are a business that offers concealed carry training and having an on-site range is one of our differentiating advantages.  Finally, from an insurance perspective, outside instructors are not covered by our insurance policy.  If any incident happened that resulted in a lawsuit or injury, we would not be covered.
