About Our Courses
Beginner Courses
Basic firearm courses like beginner pistol or rifle classes are designed for anyone seeking a solid foundation whether you've never touched a gun before or have some limited experience but want to truly master the basics in a structured, professional way.
These courses are blending classroom and live-fire range time start with essential safety rules drilled thoroughly.
You'll cover firearm parts, operation, ammunition types, safe loading/unloading, and dry-fire practice with unloaded guns. On the range, training progresses step-by-step: from stable positions to practicing core marksmanship fundamentals stance/grip, sight alignment/picture, breath control, smooth trigger press, and follow-through.
Instructors provide personalized coaching to correct form, build consistency, and achieve tight groupings on target, often including malfunction clearing, basic cleaning/maintenance, and a qualification shoot.
Theses courses are the perfect bridge from beginner to reliably skilled shooter.
Intermediate Courses
Intermediate firearm courses build directly on basic fundamentals, taking shooters who already have solid safe handling, marksmanship basics, and static shooting skills to the next level of practical, dynamic proficiency. These courses require you to prove you can safely draw, reload, and shoot accurately from standing positions, and now focus on applying those skills under stress, movement, and realistic scenarios.
Training emphasizes advanced weapons manipulation: mastering different reload types like Tactical/speed reloads . You'll drill malfunction clearances repeatedly, often one-handed or under time pressure.
A major focus is shooting while moving learning to "get off the X" shoot accurately while advancing/retreating laterally, and engage targets on the move without sacrificing precision. Drills include transitions between multiple targets, shooting from awkward positions strong hand/weak-hand only shooting, and using cover effectively while slicing the pie or pieing corners.
Instructors provide personalized coaching, timed drills, and progressive scenarios to build speed, decision-making, and consistency under simulated stress. By the end, you'll move from competent, static shooter to a capable, dynamic one - confidently handling reloads, malfunctions, movement, and multi-target engagements in defensive or tactical contexts, ready for advanced training or real-world application.
Specialty Courses
Specialized firearm and tactical courses from veteran-led providers these allow for highly customizable packages tailored to individuals, small groups, or entire departments/agencies. These advanced programs go beyond intermediate skills, integrating mission-specific elements like lowlight/no-light operations NVG/night vision goggle, CQB (Close Quarters Battle) tactics, tactical medicine (e.g., TECC/TCCC for trauma care under fire), and survival/preparedness training all built around your unique needs, whether personal defense, professional duty, or team readiness.
These courses often 1–5 days, heavily range- and scenario-based assume strong intermediate proficiency and focus on real-world application: mastering NVG integration for accurate shooting, threat ID, and movement in darkness; executing CQB fundamentals like deliberate/dynamic room entry, pieing corners, team stacking, breaching, and force-on-force drills; applying tactical medicine protocols for casualty care, hemorrhage control, and evacuation during ongoing threats; and building survival skills for austere environments, including navigation, shelter, water procurement, and emergency planning.
Instructors design bespoke packages: private sessions for individuals seeking personalized coaching, group courses for families/small teams emphasizing coordination, or department-level training for law enforcement/military units with scenario customization, equipment integration, and after-action reviews. Many offer modular formats, so you can combine lowlight/NVG, CQB, tac-med, and survival into one intensive package.
By the end, participants gain elite-level competence confident in operating under reduced visibility, clearing structures as a team, saving lives in combat-like conditions, and surviving extended challenges turning good shooters into highly capable operators ready for high stakes environments.
