Has it been awhile since you took the Basic Pistol training?  Would you like the opportunity to brush up on your basic training?  This follow up course is open to anyone who has gone through the basic pistol course.  Coaches will be on the range to help you.  The fee is just $20.00 per person.  You may bring your own gun and ammunition or you may rent a range gun for just $5.00.  If you use a range gun, you will need to purchase our ammunition.  Bullseye targets will be provided by Cleland's.

Check the calendar for date and time.

"Thank you Cleland's.  Until I took the basic pistol and the intermediate pistol classes at Cleland's, I had never shot a pistol and had not handled anything above a .22 rifle as a teen many years ago.  Now I can shoot targets like the one here.  Okay, not all are this good (on a bad day), but they are all getting better with practice."  JJ

These lessons are scheduled with the instructor.  The $50.00 lesson fee covers the instructor's fee and the range time.  The lessons are one-on-one and performed at your pace.  On average most people take two to three lessons which are scheduled for half an hour but easily extended over to 40 to 45 minutes.

The first lesson covers breathing, sight picture, trigger control and basic gun functions.  A small amount of shooting is done with either a .22 caliber revolver or semi-automatic.  The .22 caliber is used because of the low recoil and is great for learning the basics of shooting.  You will also receive a firearms safety training packet.

The second lesson consists of all shooting.  You are welcome to bring your own gun or choose from the variety of calibers on our range gun program.  There is not fee for the gun rental.  However, the ammunition is an additional cost to your lesson fee.  Basic pistol instruction does not apply towards Ohio Concealed Carry certificate.
