DEFENSIVE PISTOL

One of our flagship classes, combining movement, manipulation, dynamics, multiple target arrays and a blend of competitive and tactical techniques to vastly improve your shooting. Improving your performance is where reps, trigger time and experience meet to raise your training standards so that the following key areas improve: efficient presentation of your handgun on target, recoil management so you shoot more effectively, manipulation to keep your gun up and in the fight, and movement to engage targets from the most advantageous position while making yourself harder to hit. Bring safe handling skills and a knowledge of your firearm and you will be welcome to this class!

DEFENSIVE CARBINE

Taught by Ben, Jeremy or Tony, each bringing their own unique experience, these classes take the same principles from our Defensive Pistol series and apply those to rifle shooting. This is no ordinary line-shooting class, so expect to work from multiple barricade apertures, learn to move into and out of shooting positions, work in confined spaces, engage multiple target arrays and seamlessly keep your rifle in the fight - all while maintaining impeccable weapons safety and awareness.

defensive shotgun

Tony or Ben are your instructors here, both with a wealth of shotgun experience. This is a physically demanding class from maintaining perfect weapons safety all while moving and reloading. There is no doubt that shotgun requires the greatest input from the shooter to keep the platform fed and functioning, all while navigating complex target arrays and shooting positions..

LOW LIGHT PISTOL

Ambient lighting conditions are a game changer where your pistol skills are concerned. Building muscle memory and improving your single-hand shooting are just the start of making you an effective adversary in the dark. We run small low-light classes to ensure maximum trigger time for shooters, and use a combination of steel and paper targets along with barricades and other environmental factors to test your abilities and develop this crucial skill set.

BEGINNER HANDGUN

We’ve been hosting this class since our foundation, and there is no better introduction to shooting. We designed this class to be a progressive-stage development of the fundamental skills needed to safely shoot your handgun: firearms safety, manipulation, dry fire reps and live fire practice. Many of our beginner students have gone on to purchase their own firearms and from there have progressive through our intermediate class into our Defensive and Performance Pistol classes.

VEHICLE BASED DEFENSIVE PISTOL

Ask yourself where are you most likely to be when confronted with a life threatening situation. This class will introduce you to the particular challenges that come with operating within, around and outside vehicles. Taught by Ben or Mike, who each have a wealth of experience from operational deployment of these skill sets, you’ll look at how to set up your own vehicle, and move on to shooting techniques as they relate to the interior and exterior of vehicles.
