Description

If you are brand new to firearms, and you are interested in learning the right way, the safe way, from the beginning, this is the appropriate class for you.

If you have some experience handling firearms, but never had a comprehensive overview of Use of Force doctrine, and are looking to build a broad and varied foundation in self defense and gun knowledge in order to succeed in more advanced programs, then this is the class for you.

If you are aspiring to teach others how to use firearms, and you wish to learn about teaching methodology and watch an experienced orator present before students, this is the class for you.

Ask detailed questions, learn, explore, and play with all the show and tell things we’re preparing for you. You don’t need any equipment.

We will train all day, taking breaks to rest and eat as necessary. We have lots of material to cover, and everyone learns at a different pace. Plan for a long,  full and tiring day. We finish when you finish. The class goes at the student’s pace. Typical classes run 9am to 6pm.

We offer the Firearm Safety program as often as feasible to meet anticipated demand. Currently we offer the class roughly every month. Typical class sizes are about 20 students.

In winter, when it gets dark earlier, it is a good idea to bring clear safety glasses.

During the winter months it can be very cold, so bring warm clothes. In the summer months it is very hot, so stay in the shade and drink water. During spring and fall the weather is perfect.
