NOTE: By applying for the GPC-202 course you recognize it is not a beginner level class. Further, you also acknowledge that if you cannot score less than 35 on the Wilson 5×5 drill you will be disqualified from the class with option of partial refund or class credit.

The Wilson 5×5 Drill can be found HERE.

If you are interested in learning tactics, please see the Gunsite 250 Pistol class https://www.gunsite.com/classes/250-defensive-pistol-class/ and the available Gunsite Tactical Classes https://www.gunsite.com/classes/250-defensive-pistol-class/

*Important Note: GPC-101 or score less than 35 on the Wilson 5x5 drill

About Gunsite

Gunsite offers firearm training to elite military personnel, law enforcement officers and free citizens of the US. We knowledgeable Americans take our rights very seriously, and the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States guarantees each citizen the right to keep and bear arms. However, with each right comes an equal responsibility to discharge that right effectively, legally, safely and within the bounds of morality. Rights demand responsibility. Owning a piano does not make one a pianist any more than owning a handgun makes one a good shooter. Only an effective, safe and authoritative program of study can guarantee that in a moment of danger YOU will act to protect yourself, your loved ones or the ones you are sworn to with self defense firearms training skills.
