Firearms Training

From individuals with no prior training to novices who are looking to improve their defensive shooting skills, our courses offer students an understanding of the legal implications of firearms use and the opportunity to develop solid shooting fundamentals. Our courses are designed to assess your current skillset, abilities, and equipment, and then improve, adjust, or replace each to optimize your individual defensive-readiness.

Our defensive firearms training courses prepare you to effectively defend yourself in the event you are presented with a deadly force situation.

Basic Pistol

This course is intended for the student who’s never touched a firearm or wants to brush up on the knowledge, skills, and confidence to select, maintain, and shoot a firearm.  Through 6 hours of hands-on interactive coursework, we’ll cover safe handling and the skills to hit a 5” target at 5 yards consistently with both a revolver and semi-automatic.  We will cover basic nomenclature, common safety issues, ready positions, and range commands, as well as cleaning and purchase considerations.  Students will walk away with the confidence to practice on their own with a personal (or rental) firearm or select a firearm for purchase.
