Pistols and Pearls Society - Training Classes

Training for all levels

We offer two levels of training classes

Advanced classes are held: 1st Saturday of each month

Beginner classes are held: 3rd Saturday of each month

Each class is conducted by a qualified NRA certified instructor. We primarily use a private range located in Rosansky. Indoor classes are mostly held at the Sheriff's office in Bastrop.

If you do not currently own a gun, many of our members will allow you to shoot their gun so you can feel if it's a good fit for you before you purchase your first or next firearm. Our society has a strong emphasis on safety and education.
