What is the process to learn to shoot?

1 If you are just learning to shoot, or have never even touched a firearm, you must first learn the basics of firearm operation and safety. Ellington Arms offers courses in basic gun safety and operation to help familiarize yourself with the operations of firearms and learn proper gun etiquette.


2 Once you are familiar with firearm operation and safety, the next step is to obtain your Texas License to Carry. We will spend 6-8 hours learning the laws in the State of Texas regarding the use of deadly force, where firearms can be carried legally, gun safety review and shooting proficiency.


3Following the LTC class, the next step in your training is to learn proper defensive gun operation. This class teaches proper draw techniques, taking cover and shooting while distracted. Due to the nature of this course, it will be taught only in a one/two-on-one setting.
