Monmouth Fish & Game Pistol Club

All-levels handgun program covering safety, fundamentals, and monthly skills. Progressive yet stand-alone sessions build confidence.

Welcome to the MF&G Pistol Club!

This program is designed for shooters of all experience levels, from beginners to seasoned handgun users. Early sessions focus on establishing a strong foundation in handgun safety, proper handling, and core pistol shooting principles.

Each month introduces a new skill set, allowing participants to build confidence and improve proficiency over time. Although the program follows a progressive structure, every session is self-contained, enabling shooters to attend individual nights without falling behind.

Participants can expect a supportive learning environment that emphasizes safe practices, practical techniques, and steady skill development.
