This is a course designed for you! This is an intermediate course designed for concealed carry. This course will get you shooting and moving faster than you ever thought. It starts at the beginning and by the end, you’ll be running and gunning like a pro. Our course gets you shooting fast and then moving fast. It is designed around the concept of a typical concealed carry self-defense gun use. But we will also work on some out of the ordinary situations, as well as the worst one you can probably imagine.
This is a 16-hour course over 2 days designed for some who carries a concealed handgun or would like to. We start with the basics of handgun safety and marksmanship and quickly progress to some basic dynamic movement and defensive scenarios, like shooting from cover, moving and shooting, advancing and retreating, defending hallways, one-handed shooting, shooting around barricades, proper use of cover, shooting steel on the move, the art of making hits quickly out of the holster, shooting a hostage-taker and more. You will shoot a minimum of 650 rounds of ammunition. Bring a quality handgun, holster, belt and magazine pouches, and at least 3 magazines for your pistol. Revolvers and .22 caliber pistols are welcome. We suggest you bring what you carry.

The 16 hours are broken into two days. We try to keep ammo counts the same on both days. Most drills you will have the choice of how many rounds you want to shoot. So the amount of ammo you expend will be up to you. Day 1 starts with an in-depth safety brief. Then we will work on presenting the gun to a threat in the best way for concealed carry.
The next couple of hours will be on gun handling skills. You will learn how to reload and clear malfunctions in depth. From there you will be responsible, and no how to take care of your gun during the rest of the class.
From there we learn how to fight. We start with multiple shots from realist distances. You will learn to make hits very fast and real-world distances and different techniques to win the fight.
During lunch, we will have two classroom discussions. The first on legal aspects of the use of force, and some of the things you will need to know to survive the legal system if you ever have to use your gun to defend yourself.
The second class is on mindset. Your mind is the weapon, a gun is just a tool. Get the right mindset to help you win the fight. Learn from someone who has been there done that more then once and what it means to have to fight for your life. This may be the most important part of the entire class.After the lunch and classes, we head back to the range to learn how to shoot and move. We start easy and use the military’s proven “Crawl-Walk-Run” method to break down shooting and moving too little steps at a time.
By the end of the day, you will be running up and down the range making hits faster then you thought possible. It’s easy once you get the training and simple techniques down.
ONLY $450
Day 2 starts again with a range safety brief and we quickly move into shooting while moving at odd angles. After that, it’s into multiple targets. We will do some real-world tests with different techniques and then work them on the range.
Lunch is more classes about your mindset and winning the fight. After lunch back to the range to do a hostage rescue drill that will make your skill crawl and you will come away with a more realistic view of your skills and what is possible in the worst-case scenario. Then we set up drills based around active shooters. You will learn to move through a crowd with your weapon and how to engage targets in a crowded area.
After those two incredibly taxing drills we will work on our long-range shooting and see what is actually possible with a handgun.
Then, if there is time we will have a man on man shoot out for fun to see who is the fastest gun in the class. It’s just for fun and bragging rights.
We end the class with what to do in the aftermath of a shooting. How do you deal with people that will show up, and then how do you deal with police when they show up (because they will). This part is almost as important as the shooting part. You have had to survive the person trying to kill you, yourself, and then the legal system. We can help you will all three!
Come train with us. You will have a great time and learn some really cool stuff. Plus get a chance to test your gear and meet some of the best people on the planet (those in the firearms community).
You’ll come away with a new understanding of your skills, what you need to do to survive, more confidence than ever before, and some great new friends.
ONLY $450
What you’ll need to bring for the Class:
A Serviceable Handgun (We recommend a 9mm or larger but a .380 or .22 will work. Bring what you normally carry)
A Belt-Worn ammo pouch from the above makers is also suggested (again start with what you normally wear).
Long Pants or Shorts with belt loops (jeans or 511-type tactical pants are suggested)
A Sturdy belt designed to carry a gun.
Sturdy Footwear, Hiking Boots, Athletic Shoes, etc… No open-toed anything. You will be on your feet moving all day over dirt and uneven terrain. Please wear shoes you will be able to move around in all day.
Long-Sleeve or sports shirts are recommended. No deep V-Necks or large open necks. Brass flies around and is hot. If it goes down your shirt it will hurt. Athletic clothing, please. Something you would wear on the street to cover your gun is recommended.
Eye and Ear Protection and a Baseball cap or hat with a brim are required at all times. We recommend eye and ear protection designed for shooting. They can be found at any shooting store at a minimal cost. If you can afford the electronic ear muffs (like these Howard Leight Impact Sports Electronic Muffs will make the day more enjoyable)
800 Rounds of Factory Ammo (NO RELOADS!) Most drills you will be able to shoot as much as you want. You can order ammo by the case cheaply here from my affiliate. Leave the ammo in its original boxes and just bring it all in a bag or ammo can. Keep the original boxes so if there is a problem with the ammo we can figure out where it came from and sort it form other stuff.
At least 3 Magazines for your weapon, or 4-speed loaders. We recommend you bring a couple more if you have them, but they are not required.
Bring back up guns and gear if you have them. Not required but you would be surprised how often things break.
Whatever medications, liquids, foods, band-aids, sunscreen, etc… you will need for the day. This location is remote and there is no place to get extra stuff.
Note-taking gear, pen, and paper, or electronic tablet or phone in case you want to write stuff down.
You will also need a box, gun case, or container of some sort to transport your gun(s) from the car to the firing line. If you carry your gun on your person, no problem, leave it holstered. We do all gun handling on the firing line together, NOT in the parking lot. You’ll have the opportunity to swap out carry ammunition. What we don’t want are ANY guns to be out of containers or holsters anywhere behind the firing line!
Don’t bother loading your magazines before up before class. The first couple of drills you will only need a limited number of rounds and you will have plenty of time to load your magazines during the day.
* Refund Policy – NO REFUNDS within 2 weeks of the date of the class. Prior to that, a $50 cancellation fee will apply. Full refunds are only processed if you cancel with at least 30 days noticed (less transaction fees.) Extenuating circumstances will be considered on a case by case basis.
