Training

As with anything, the more you train the more proficient you will become. This is especially important in a self-defense situation. It takes less than 2.5 seconds for a perpetrator to travel 20 feet. If you lack proper training the decision you make may be your last!

If you think you will want to take more than one course we highly recommend you check out the Survivor's Club. You can save up to $200.00 when you enroll in the Survivor's Club.

We offer 8 courses ranging from Basic Marksmanship, 5 Pistols courses and a Night Fire class. In addition, we offer Private Training!
