Continuing where our Level 1: Intro to Handguns class left off, this class focuses on marksmanship fundamentals and manipulations of defensive handguns. We will be working from the bench so a holster is not required. This class is for those students who want a refresher or to get more familiar with basic manipulations and fundamentals before continuing their training. We will be on the range for the majority of class focusing on safety, handgun manipulations, accuracy, and other skills that will prepare students for future classes.

Topics of instruction include: Firearms safety, types of handguns, loading and unloading, reloads, eye dominance, stance, grip, sight alignment, trigger control, follow through, presentation from ready positions. Lunch lecture will be on holster and gear selection for carry or training.

This class is designed to improve and assess the basics of knowledge and skill for fighting an Active Shooter. This class is suitable for armed citizens, armed school staff, armed church security teams, armed guards, and law enforcement officers. Class consists of 4 hours of classroom lecture (including a working lunch) and 4 hours of live-fire range training.

This 1-day class will improve the student’s mental & physical preparedness for avoiding or surviving a violent attack within a riot or violent protest.  Classroom portion will cover the serious tactical, political, and legal problems of this dynamic environment.  Three specific case studies will highlight how this threat is the most difficult of the ones we could encounter outside our homes.  Study of this threat environment will include while on foot and in a vehicle.

Building upon the “Practice with Purpose” curriculum, Train for Mastery is an extended class, designed to teach you how to practice effectively, and train towards a high-level shooting goal. In addition to all topics covered in the 1-day “Practice with Purpose” class, students will also learn about advanced movement and exercises, building their own effective drills from match data, more in-depth analysis of their practice logs, and advanced drill and exercise breakdown techniques. Fast-paced and very intensive, students should come prepared to take lots of notes, and watch their practice routines change drastically and – hopefully – for the better.

This is a collaborative class between Tim Herron and AJ Zito, built entirely around one concept: Showing you how to practice.

Concealed Carry 102 picks up where our Level 1: Concealed Carry 101 class left off giving students more range time working from a holster before moving onto other training. Range instruction includes refining the draw stroke, accuracy out to 15 yards, reloads and manipulations, malfunction clearing, and an introduction to use of cover.

Intro to Shotgun covers the basics and is designed for the student who is testing out a new shotgun or is beginning their training. This class can be taken with any shotgun including a single shot, double barrel/over under, pump, or semi-auto. If bringing a trap, skeet, or bird hunting gun, please make sure you have a choke that can shoot slugs. This will be covered during the class.

(Starting Point Class) - Defensive Handgun is the required pre-req for Level 3 Tac Handgun, Level 3 Active Shooter, and the Handgun Special Interest Seminars. (See Full List)

Rifle Marksmanship Fundamentals is a 1-day training course covering zeroing, trigger control, position shooting, and general rifle or carbine use.

Any modern production rifle or carbine may be used in this class including any bolt action, semi auto, or lever action rifles as well as pistol caliber carbines or rifles chambered in 22LR. Contact us if you have any questions.

Carbine Fundamentals is a 1-day training course covering a broad range of topics dealing with general rifle or carbine use.

Designed for the student who is new to the AR15, or other modern production carbine, we will start at the beginning with basic carbine manipulations and sight in to establish a good point blank zero. Then, we will work mechanical offset, shooting stance, recoil management, multiple shots, and multiple targets. Time permitting, we will also do an introduction to clearing malfunctions.

Many myths surround the combat shotgun. This eight hour course will dispel these myths, replacing them with the correct knowledge and skills necessary to use the shotgun for self-defense or law enforcement duty.

(Starting Point Class) - Intro to Handguns is the start to our handgun curriculum and is the required pre-req for Handgun Fundamentals and Concealed Carry 101. These other Level 1 classes require students to have their own handgun and are paired with an Intro on the same weekend to allow students the opportunity to create their own 2 day class. Our other entry point into our handgun curriculum is Defensive Handgun which is required for all of our higher level handgun classes. (See Full List)
