About Us
Would you take a Driver's Ed class if they never let you drive a car?
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.
Look, you're taking an Basic Pistol Class to either apply for your MA License To Carry (LTC) or just to learn more about pistols
because someone in your life owns them and you want to be safe around them, right?
If you're going for your LTC, why not fire both revolvers and semi-automatics and a variety of calibers to learn what works for you.
If you just want to know how to be safe around pistols, we can help you with that and help you overcome any fears of shooting them, too.
We're here to get you experience and help make you comfortable!
