BASIC PISTOL COURSE

This course is for beginners, who have little or no knowledge or experience with handguns.

Taught by a NRA-certified instructor, this one-day classroom session is followed by one hour of live fire on a gun range. Professionally developed content helps students become familiar with all aspects of handguns in a safe and responsible manner. No handgun is required since all equipment will be provided.

To enhance the quality of life and well-being of the residents of Castle Rock by acquiring and developing parks and trails and preserving open space and offering quality programs and facilities designated to meet the needs of our community.
