OpSpec Training heads back to the Richmond Rod & Gun Club for another visit. Historically during the past couple of years, this has been a popular destination for us. We look forward to having you join us again, or for the first time.

Practical Fundamentals is not a basic class. At minimum, students should have taken a basic handgun safety course and be confident with their firearm and gear. We expect students to have experience shooting on a line in a safe manner, including loading, reloading and drawing/shooting from the holster. Shooters with IDPA, USPSA, NRA Action Pistol, 3-Gun, law enforcement and military experience meet the program prerequisites.

Wondering about the OpSpec Training experience? READ OUR CLASS TESTIMONIALS (These student testimonials are specific to the Practical Fundamentals program.)

Practical Fundamentals
Using a building-block approach, Practical Fundamentals encourages students to focus on the process of running the gun, tamping down the emotional desire to see results on the target. By using a variety of dry fire and live fire exercises, students are brought through the fundamentals of marksmanship with a focus on trigger control to help the shooter make fast hits on small targets, on demand.

When: June 6 & 7, 2019 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day

Where to Stay
If you are looking for a hotel in the area, we are suggesting you look for properties near the following communities: El Cerrito, Albany or Berkeley (south of Richmond), or El Sobrante, Pinole, or Hercules to the north. Berkeley will have the best selection for hotels as well as food.

Food at Lunch Break
To ensure you get the most “bang for your buck” we try to keep lunch breaks as short as possible (one hour). If you have the ability to bring your lunch, we you may do so. If you need to run out and get a quick meal, there are options in the area. Fast food restaurants (McDonald’s, Subway, Jack In The Box, Little Caesar’s) are located near Contra Costa College about 12 minutes (3 miles) to the southeast. Limited food options will be available on-site on Saturday.

If you're interested or have any questions about this class, please let us know. Richmond has been a consistent sell-out for us every year, but it's just about impossible to get range time on Saturday and Sunday. Hoping you're able to make it on a Thursday/Friday!

Let's make this one happen!
