Too many NRA Basic Pistol classes never even let you fire a firearm.  And others may only let you shoot 3 or 5 rounds.  

What good is that?

At Whatley  Training LLC's Basic Pistol Class you'll have the opportunity to fire a  total of 100 or more rounds from a variety pistols.  

You'll  have the  opportunity to shoot both revolvers and semi-automatics.  

You'll shoot  the most popular target caliber of all time, the .22 long rifle, along  with .380, 9mm, .38 caliber, .45ACP and others.

Safety will always be Job #1 also.
