BASICS of HOLSTER CLASS – Now Offered at AVGC

If you're interested in becoming more confident with your holster draw in a safe, controlled environment – this class is for you!

If you’re interested in becoming more confident with your holster draw in a safe, controlled environment—whether you’re a competitive shooter, a CCW permit holder, or simply want to learn the fundamentals of a safe and efficient draw—this class is for you.

Our Basics of Holster class is taught using a safe, step-by-step approach that emphasizes proper technique and safety at every stage. Students will learn and practice:

  • A smooth, safe draw from the holster
  • Safe and controlled re-holstering
  • Efficient magazine changes
  • Fundamental shooting skills related to drawing from the holster*

This is not a beginner shooting class. Students must already have a basic understanding of their firearm, how it operates, and safe shooting fundamentals. If, at any point, the instructors feel you would benefit from additional training before completing this course, we may recommend that you return after gaining those skills. Our primary goal is to ensure every student handles firearms safely and confidently.
