[QUOTE="Hawkman, post: 3045072, member: 29933"] Dennis has good advice, Wilshire is the newest/nicest range in the OKC area and seems to have a good variety of classes (though, I can;t seem to pull up their course calendar...). A 1 hour private lesson might better suit your schedule however--sometimes classes for beginners at square one can be few and far between. Furthermore, a private lesson with a quality instructor should improve your shooting and firearm competence rapidly. Most classes that I see are geared for people that know, even if on a basic level, how to shoot, how to grip the gun, and how to manipulate it. If you own a firearm, get comfortable with engaging/disengaging the safety, reloading, dry firing, etc. Snap caps are a good investment for such practice. Lastly, I'd recommend Will Andrews' Pistol Skills series of classes AFTER you have a baseline competence with pistols, assuming you own or will own a pistol for personal/home defense. They are rather affordable at $80/class ($25 for every time you retake a class) for 4 hours worth of instruction (you'll shoot ~150 rounds). Usually the first class in the series (Pistol Skills 2) is taught several times a month. [URL]http://pistolskills.com/?page_id=117[/URL] [/QUOTE]
