Our training

Your first encounter with a firearm is more than firing a few shots at a target.

Want to try shooting but don't know where to start? Wondering how to handle a firearm safely, what you should learn and whether you'll cope on the shooting range?

Or perhaps you've already been to a shooting range and fired a dozen or so shots, but nobody really explained what you were doing well and what needed improving?

PRETORIA INTRO is more than an ordinary shooting package. It is your first individual training session, in which you learn the right habits from the very start.

For two hours you work directly with an instructor. We start with the safety rules, getting to know the Glock pistol and the AR-15 rifle, and learning to handle them safely.

Then we move on to the fundamentals of shooting: correct stance, grip, aiming and trigger control. During the drills and the shooting, the instructor watches what you do, explains your mistakes and corrects your technique as you go.

You don't need any prior knowledge or a firearm of your own. You learn everything step by step, at your own pace.

What will you gain from the training?

• You will learn the most important safety rules and the basics of firearm handling.
• You will understand what the fundamentals of correct shooting technique look like.
• You will find out what mistakes you make and how to work on them.
• You will gain your first experience with a pistol and a rifle under individual supervision.
• You will know which next step to choose if you want to develop your skills further.

Training details

Duration: 2 hours Format: individual 1:1 training Price: PLN 397 Included: Glock, AR-15, 20 rounds of 9 mm, 10 rounds of .223 Rem, a shooting lane and instructor supervision.

You don't need your own firearm or a firearms licence.

You don't come just to shoot. You come to understand what to learn and how.

Book your first training session.

For people who are considering a firearms licence, are in the process of obtaining one or have only recently got it. No shooting — you have time to calmly watch a demonstration and ask any question, including the most basic ones.

What will you take away from the workshop?

• You will know how to prepare for your first training session and how to behave on the shooting range — in the demonstration you will see safe loading, unloading and handing over of a firearm.
• You will work out what equipment to buy to start with and which purchases can wait.
• You will define what you want to work on and write down one concrete step for the next 30 days.

Scope — the RBD protocol

• Safety — Jeff Cooper's four rules and a demonstration of safe firearm handling.
• Rescue — a first-aid kit for the range, responding to serious injuries and choosing a medical course.
• Path — starter equipment, choosing your next training, a training plan at home and at the range, and the fundamentals of shooting.

Price and organisation

• PLN 297/person — submitting a registration is free; you will receive payment details once your place is confirmed.
• Group of up to 30 people, workshop without shooting.
• Led by Christoph (Krzysztof) Lorenz.

Do you train at the shooting range but feel like you're standing still?

You regularly buy ammunition, go to the shooting range and work through one drill after another. Even so, you don't always see your results improve.

You don't know whether you're training the right things. You wonder why some shots don't land where they should, while the mistakes you try to eliminate keep coming back.

Perhaps you watch tutorials, test different techniques and try to improve your skills on your own. The problem is that without a proper diagnosis and plan, it is easy to reinforce mistakes instead of eliminating them.

Stop training at random. Start working towards specific results.

PRETORIA 1:1 is an individual shooting programme in which the whole training is tailored to your experience, skills and goals.

You don't get a ready-made set of drills that every participant goes through. We start by assessing your technique, identifying problems and setting specific training goals.

On that basis we select drills and develop your skills step by step. During the training the instructor observes your work, points out mistakes, explains their causes and corrects your technique as you go.

The aim is not to fire as many rounds as possible, but to work consciously on the skills that genuinely need improving.

What does the programme look like?

The standard programme consists of three two-hour sessions.

Session 1 — Diagnosis and action plan

We assess your current skills, identify the most important mistakes and set individual goals. You find out what you should focus on.

Session 2 — Correction and development

We work on selected elements of your technique. The drills are matched to your level and mistakes are corrected as you go.

Session 3 — Progress check

We check the results of the work so far, compare results and set the direction for further training.

Between sessions you receive guidance on training on your own, so that you can develop your skills outside the shooting range too.

What will you gain?

• You will understand what is limiting your progress and what you should work on.
• You will get an individual plan instead of doing drills at random.
• You will learn to recognise technical mistakes better and correct them consciously.
• You will be able to assess your progress based on specific drills and results.
• You will learn how to use your time at the range and your ammunition more wisely.
• You will receive guidance for further training on your own.

Who is it for?

For people who own a firearm and want to develop their shooting skills consciously — whether they are still mastering the fundamentals or already have more experience.

Available training formats

Standard option — LEONHARD shooting range

• Location: LEONHARD shooting range, Gorzyce Wielkie
• Number of sessions: 3
• Duration: 3 × 2 hours (6 hours in total)
• Package price: PLN 1,497
• Shooting lane: included in the price
• Firearm and ammunition: your own, provided by the participant

The training takes place on three dates agreed individually. This lets you work on selected elements between sessions too and track your progress over time.

Away option — training at your location

Can't get to Gorzyce Wielkie? An individual training session can be held at a shooting range in your area. In this option the programme is delivered in a single day, and its course is adapted to an intensive one-day format. The shooting range is arranged and paid for by the participant. The instructor can travel anywhere in Poland. The price of away training is set individually based on the location, travel time and organisational conditions. The starting point is the price of the standard programme (PLN 1,497), plus travel costs and any additional organisational costs. Before the date is confirmed, you will receive a full quote — with no hidden fees. The one-day option does not fully replace the benefits of three sessions spread over time. That is why we adapt the scope of the training and the way progress is assessed to this format.

You don't need more random training sessions. You need to know what to improve, how to work on it and how to check your progress.
