Pistol shooting lessons in Lviv — a beginners course
Five sessions from safe firearm handling to rapid fire. Instructors hold CMS and MSIC qualifications.
Who this course is for
This course is for people who want to learn systematically — not just try shooting once, but follow a structured program with an instructor. No prior experience or firearms permit is required: you train with club firearms. Sessions include the range, firearm, ammo, gear, and instructor — the same approach as the club’s individual and group lessons.
Complete beginners
Never held a firearm before? That is fine. The instructor covers safety and guides you step by step: stance, grip, sight picture, and your first accurate shots. Many club members started with zero experience.
People planning to buy a firearm
Before buying your own firearm, it helps to learn safe handling, basic skills, and how a gun behaves in practice — under a qualified instructor. Training with a personal firearm requires a Ukrainian license; training with club firearms does not.
A path into practical IPSC shooting
If your goal is practical sport shooting, the course builds the foundation: accuracy, holster work, reloads, speed, and target transitions — skills serious training at Wild West SSC in Lviv starts with.
Course program
The course has five sessions. Topics and round counts match the program on the pricing page — 210 rounds in total. Each session focuses on one skill: from fundamentals of accurate shooting to target transitions. You progress from safety and accuracy toward elements typical of practical shooting.
