Objective
The objective of this Module is to provide participants with a foundational understanding of firearm safety, handling techniques, and practical exercises to improve grip, stance, and sight alignment.
Module Outline:
Welcome and Introduction
Upon arrival, participants will be warmly welcomed by the instructors. An introduction to the training Module will be provided, outlining the objectives and agenda for the day. Participants will be able to ask questions and clarify any concerns before proceeding.
Safety Briefing
A comprehensive safety briefing will be conducted to ensure participants understand and adhere to safety protocols throughout the training Module. Key topics covered will include:
- The cardinal rules of firearm safety (e.g., always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot).
- Range safety rules and procedures.
- Proper handling of firearms, including loading and unloading procedures.
- Emergency procedures in the event of a malfunction or injury.
Firearm Familiarization
Participants will be introduced to different types of firearms commonly used for training purposes, including handguns and rifles. Instructors will provide an overview of the basic parts and functions of each type of firearm, emphasizing key components relevant to safe handling and operation.
Basic Firearm Handling Techniques
Practical demonstrations will be provided on the proper grip, stance, and handling of firearms. Participants will receive hands-on instruction to practice:
- Establishing a proper grip to maximize control and stability.
- Adopting a stable shooting stance to enhance accuracy and recoil management.
- Manipulating the firearm’s controls (e.g., slide release, safety, magazine release) safely and efficiently.
Basic Firearm Handling Techniques
Participants will be introduced to different types of firearms commonly used for training purposes, including handguns and rifles. Instructors will provide an overview of the basic parts and functions of each type of firearm, emphasizing key components relevant to safe handling and operation.
- Dry-fire drills to practice grip and stance without live ammunition.
- Live-fire drills on the shooting range to apply proper grip, stance, and sight alignment while shooting at static targets.
- Sight alignment exercises using aiming aids (e.g., laser sights) to enhance accuracy and precision.
Conclusion
A brief recap of the Module’s training objectives and key takeaways will be provided. Participants will have the opportunity to ask any remaining questions or seek clarification on specific topics.
