Put Your Training Into Practice
The Pistol 1 Live Fire Course is the third and final class of the Journey Academy program.
After developing foundational handgun skills and practicing firearm manipulation in a controlled environment, students move to the range to apply what they have learned during supervised live-fire training.
This class gives students the opportunity to experience the skills they have practiced throughout Journey Academy while receiving hands-on coaching from an instructor.
Live-Fire Training May Include:
Range safety rules and procedures
Safe handling of firearms on the firing line
Proper loading and unloading procedures at the range
Reinforcing safe muzzle and trigger-finger discipline
Establishing a proper shooting stance
Building and maintaining a consistent grip
Sight alignment and sight picture
Trigger control
Recoil management
Follow-through
Controlled live-fire drills
Accuracy and shot placement
Identifying and correcting common shooting errors
Building confidence while firing a handgun
Applying previously learned firearm manipulations in a live-fire environment
Students progress through instructor-led drills designed to reinforce safety first while developing greater control, consistency, and confidence.
The purpose of the Pistol 1 Live Fire Course is not simply to fire rounds at a target. Students are taught to understand why they are performing each action and how the fundamentals learned during the first two Journey Academy classes affect their performance on the range.
By the End of This Class
Students should leave with a stronger understanding of safe handgun operation, improved familiarity with live-fire shooting, and a foundation they can continue developing through regular practice and additional training.
