WHY CHOOSE US
Shooting a firearm is a diminishing skill for all of us...the only way to be prepared is to
Learn, Train, Practice, Repeat.

We specialize in beginners who may be scared to even handle a firearm, to those with years of experience who would like to get pro-tips.
You purchased a handgun to protect yourself, now what? If you are looking for in-depth, first-class firearms training with decades of real-world experience then contact us.
Regardless of your experience, we want you to be empowered and confident when using a firearm. Tactical, defensive shooting is what is going to save your life.
Through our instruction and your practice, you will gain the knowledge, skills and attitude to effectively and accurately deploy a handgun in a self-defense situation.
