The Martial Application of the Pistol program is designed to give you an in depth and thorough overview of the pistol or handgun as a fighting instrument. In order to accomplish this task, we will consider some of the history of the modern fighting handgun as well as to apply the most important question: what is our goal? 

What do we hope to achieve or accomplish? It is only by examining and considering our mission, purpose, and our goal that we can undertake the task of learning and expanding our education and skill. We have endeavored to meet and exceed those criteria through the Martial Application of the Pistol program.

What you will learn

• The Fundamentals of Handgun Marksmanship
  
  
• How to Run the Machine like a Professional
  
  
• Martial Tactics and Mindset
  
  
• Sights and Optics on Pistols
  
  
• Ammunition and Accessories
  
  
• A Full Glossary of Professional Terminology
  
  
• And More

SOTG B&B

Going to a shooting school is not just about learning to shoot. One of the benefits of attending a school is getting to spend time with other people “who get it”. 

The standard model for training is for everyone to stay at hotels, motels, etc. and attend class together. When the class day ends, students most often go their separate ways for dinner. 

Our decades of experience have taught us that the best experience comes from a full immersion residency class; one where the students stay in the same place and take their meals together. 

At Student of the Gun University our goal is to offer that experience to our students whenever possible.  Our facility outside of Vernal, Utah gives students the opportunity to commune together, share delicious home cooked meals, and appreciate the beauty of the surrounding mountains. 

You don’t have to stay with us, but you will be glad that you did.
