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.

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.

(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)

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 specifically geared to prepare students for the possibility of defending against an active shooter in an urban environment and will involve shooting exercises designed to test skills necessary for active shooter interdiction, along with force on force training to prepare the armed citizen to be able to respond as effectively as possible if they ever have to face an armed assailant bent on shooting numerous victims.

(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)

We live in a three-dimensional world. Unfortunately, most firearms training is not designed for that. Real life violence does not always present itself with a textbook shot that is most often practiced on a static range.

In this FAS seminar we’ll go beyond ‘Center Mass’ to teach you more about proper shot placement, as well as shot angles. Anatomical considerations and the mechanism of bullet damage will also be discussed. You’ll be put into shooting drill scenarios that will help you understand where your bullets need to hit to be effective.

From conversational distances out to the practical limits of an attack, you’ll learn where to place your rounds to get your adversary to stop as quickly as possible.

Do you know the capabilities of your chosen defensive ammunition if you’re forced to defend your life? Have you tested it through your defensive handgun? At FAS we believe a good hollow point that expands well and has enough penetration is the key, regardless of the caliber. At this unique seminar we’ll test your bullet’s accuracy, velocity, penetration, expansion, and weight retention. You’ll get a chance to chronograph your defensive ammunition, and test it through different barriers and several testing mediums including ballistic gelatin.

The development of defensive handgun ammunition has improved significantly over the years, but not all bullets are created equally. Different rounds can perform better or worse than others through different test mediums. In this one-day seminar students get firsthand experience on terminal ballistics by putting their chosen handgun/ammunition combo to the test and comparing it with others in the class to see how they perform.

The FBI ammunition protocol, and alternative testing theories and methods will be discussed to give you a better understanding of the effectiveness of handgun ammunition. We’ll also challenge you with several high standard shooting drills to see if your skills with your concealed carry gun is up to the task.

The revolver is the "go to" gun for many people who want a gun they know will work every time and is easy to store and maintain.  For this Special Interest Seminar, the student will spend a day working with the revolver in basic and advanced shooting drills, including learning about trigger prepping and low light shooting.

Our FAS 2-Day Carbine is geared for the patrol officer or armed citizen wanting to increase proficiency with the use of the semi-auto rifle/carbine. Instruction includes use of cover, multiple targets, rapid fire, long range shooting (out to 200 yards), malfunction clearing and speed reloading, moving and shooting and shooting on moving targets, along with use of the rifle in low light environments.
