The Pistol Development - Level I course is designed for the new shooter that either has not spent time around firearms, or maybe its been a while and you want to refamiliarize yourself with the basic fundamentals of firearms safety, pistol handling, and marksmanship fundamentals.

This 4-hour period of instruction breaks down all aspects of pistol handling in a slow pace, easy to digest and retain format enabling the student to easily retain the information and instruction presented. Often times in development-style classes, there is a lot of information presented to the student quickly with little time to reinforce. Our philosophy and format, as with any of our courses, is for the student to actively participate verbally and physically by integrating a back and forth dialogue as well as visual demonstrations by the instructors and hands-on learning by the student. The “Hear-See-Do” method of learning, we have found, promotes the most information retention and overall success of our students.

This course consists of extensive safety training, basic fundamentals, the understanding of marksmanship, basic pistol shooting skills, and pistol selection information.

the course cost is $150.00, and a 20% deposit is required to enroll. Deposits can be made through our “Deposits” tab, then choose the appropriate course selection from the options available.

You will need to bring the firearm of your choice, at least 2 magazines, a minimum of 150 rounds of ammunition, eye protection, and hearing protection. If you do not have a firearm of your own, but still wish to take the class, please notify us via email at info@odmdefense.com and we can make arrangements for a loaner pistol. Student is still responsible for ammunition. There is ammunition available for sale at our location at a great price for those that would prefer to purchase from our store front.
