Pistols and Pearls Society - Training Classes

Training for all levels

We offer a variety of training classes

Classes are held on the 1st, 3rd and 5th 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.

Some of the topics covered are:

Stance, Grip, Sight:

How to stand for maximum control and accuracy. How to grip the pistol for stability and to control recoil. How to align the sights. Sight alignment and sight picture.

Multiple Threats:

What to do in case there's more than one intruder. How to shoot while moving.

Trigger Control:

Where to place your finger on the trigger for optimal accuracy; how to squeeze the trigger so as not to jerk it. When and how to breathe!

Night Shooting:

A burglar won't turn on the lights! Explore various options of using a flashlight and how and where to hold it.

Gun Maintenance:

A clean, oiled gun is a happy, reliable gun! Learn how to disassemble, clean and reassemble.
