Firearms Training
(Scroll down to find your course)

With a combined training and teaching experience of over 60 years we can take you or your group to the next level. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced shooter, our courses will educate, challenge, and enhance your shooting and defensive skills and abilities.
Our hands on approach will expertly guide you through your training in a step-by-step building block format that will quickly and effectively raise your confidence and abilities.
We live in an ever-changing world and with more and more people looking to have a firearm for personal protection we have an obligation to make sure that those that do have them are trained to use them. Shooting at a piece of paper 20 yards away, once a year, is just not enough. In order to effectively use a firearm in a self defense situation it takes proper training and a lot of practice.
We intentionally limit the sizes of our classes to effectively train the individuals participating.
Having a firearm does not mean you are automatically safe. You must possess the skills and confidence to be able to use it correctly. All of our courses stress safety first accompanied with a comprehensive understanding of firearms function along with maintenance, proper storage, carry, and practical use.
We want to develop like-minded shooting enthusiasts to help all of us keep our rights to own firearms safe.
We offer the following Firearms courses and are constantly upgrading and improving our programs. We can also tailor make a program for your group or provide individual training.
If you fail to show for a class then we will reassign you to the next available class date we do not offer refunds for no shows. If we cancel a class we will issue you a refund.
