DH 1 is designed to provide new or novice shooters a firm grounding in the fundamentals of practical use of a handgun. You will be introduced to the principles of firearms safety, handgun nomenclature, operation, marksmanship, and gun handling.

The class is split evenly between the classroom and the range. On the range you will learn to shoot different engagement sequences and how to conduct speed reloads.

By the end of this 4-hour class you should feel much more comfortable with how to safely operate your handgun and can apply the fundamentals of marksmanship and gun handling inside 7 yards.

YGC DH 2 is designed for shooters who want to improve their knowledge and skill in the fundamentals of practical handgun use, with a focus on how to safely and efficiently present (draw) their handgun from the holster.

DH 2 builds upon topics covered in DH 1, adding reloads with retention, Type 1 and 2 malfunction clearances, and basic handgun maintenance. You will spend less time in the classroom and more time on the range than in DH 1.

By the end of this 4-hour class you should be able to efficiently draw your handgun from the holster and apply the fundamentals under increasing time pressure at distances up to 10 yards.

This 8-hour course will provide the minimum skills and knowledge necessary to earn a training certificate to apply for a NC Concealed Carry Handgun (CCH) permit.

This course is not intended for new shooters. Taking this course assumes you already have the skills and experience to safely handle, use/manipulate and shoot handguns/pistols. If you do not have those skills or are not yet comfortable with a firearm, you may want to consider taking a Private Lesson or the Basic Handgun course before pursuing the CCH qualification course.

Both a written test and 30-round practical shooting test must be successfully completed to pass.

This 8-hour course is for those who already have a NC CCH permit but want to go beyond the minimum requirements to gain the skills and confidence necessary to routinely carry a concealed handgun. This class can be taken with CCH-B in the same weekend or at another time.

CCH Enhanced combines Defensive Handgun 2 with our Carry Daily 1 class to provide the fundamentals of how to present the pistol safely and effectively from the holster, as well as considerations for carrying concealed and self-defense tactics. Range drills will focus on practical time and accuracy standards common in self-defense situations.

By the end of class, you will understand best practices for carrying your handgun concealed and have skills to shoot effectively from the open or from concealment.

YGC Carry Daily 1 class is designed to introduce shooters to the practical aspects of concealed carry in their daily life. We will cover various aspects of the concealed carry lifestyle, including clothing considerations, holsters, carry positions, and low light engagements. In addition, we will cover the self-defense mindset and basic tactical principles to help avoid conflict or prevail if conflict cannot be avoided.

The class will build on fundamentals learned in DH 2, with the opportunity to draw from different positions and concealment garments. By the end of this 4-hour class you should have a firm understanding of how to carry concealed daily and be able to efficiently draw your handgun from concealment to effectively engage a threat.
