Operation Specific Training is now taking deposits for our May 2015 Practical Fundamentals class in Paducah, Ky. We understand this is short notice, but we think this will be a great class with a low student to instructor ratio.
Instructors*:
Jerry Jones
Practical Fundamentals
This two-day program teaches the techniques and philosophy of what we believe a shooter needs to improve to their full potential. This is not a beginning handgun course. Students should have completed a basic safety/CCW class prior to attempting this course.
Practical Fundamentals may be repeated several times to further one's understanding of the concepts involved.
Course Objectives
Where:
Jackson Purchase Rifle & Pistol Club
3919 Old Cairo Road
Paducah, KY 42001
