Beginner Firearms Training

Never touch a firearm before? Do you own a firearm that you have not fired in years? Are you thinking about purchasing a firearm and aren't sure what to look for? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this course is the best place to begin. Whether you are interested in recreational shooting, competition, hunting, gun collecting, historical reenactment, home safety, or personal protection - the basics are where to start! JD Defensive's Beginner Firearms training teach you the safety principles and help you develop the knowledge, skills, and attitude that are needed to successfully pursue your shooting interests.

This is highly recommended for People Who:

1. Are deciding if they want a firearm or not
2. Are thinking about purchasing a firearm but are not sure what type of firearm they want
3. Have purchased a firearm and want to learn more about the fundamentals of firearms, ammunition, and their safe use
4. Has owned a firearm for a while, but has no formalized training in firearm safety use
5. Has firearm experience and desires a refresher course

This course covers:

1. Firearm Terminology
2. Different Types of Firearms and Ammunition
3. Firearm Safety
4. Care, Maintenance and Safe Storage of Firearms and Ammunition
5. Proper loading and shooting techniques
6. Proper Aim and Shooting (students are given the opportunity to fire handguns on the range)

The instruction is paced so every student can learn stress-free and emerge more confident in their firearm knowledge and capabilities.

After completing the Beginners Firearm training, students can progress to the Advanced or Tactical Firearm training. It is also great preparation for the Carrying Concealed Deadly Weapon (CCDW) training.
