Beginner handgun training at Governors Gun Club in Kennesaw GA is designed for new firearm owners wanting to learn firearm safety, handgun fundamentals, responsible ownership, and live-fire shooting skills.

Practical pistol training at Governors Gun Club in Kennesaw GA focuses on drawing from a holster, reload efficiency, defensive shooting skills, and handgun accuracy under pressure.

Build the two skills that matter most when it counts — drawing from a holster and reloading under pressure.
