Full Course Descriptions

What does a gallon of milk, $3 worth of change, and a handbag strap have to do with self-defense? You may not know it, but you already have what you need to escape an attacker. The human body comes fully equipped with 10 self-defense tools. Combine that information, some items you already own, knowledge, and practice and you have Non Ballistic Self Defense.  Originally only available as part of the Women's Program, we now offer it as a stand-alone class.

You will learn Situational Awareness, body mechanics, how to effectively punch or kick, use body mechanics to your advantage, and more.

 Ideal for two people to learn as a team, then practice for proficiency.

This course is perfect for the new gun owner, combining classroom and range time, and learning to shoot revolvers or semi-automatic pistols. It is also perfect for those planning on purchasing a firearm.

This class is for Home self-defense. Are you thinking you’ll come out on the winning end of a home invasion, just because you keep a shotgun by your bed? That is wishful thinking at best unless you are prepared.

We will show you how to maximize the usefulness of your shotgun in a close-quarters situation, such as the hallway of your home. We will look at reload techniques and how to stage your gun for maximum efficiency. Change the odds to your side when you are in your home with this class.

3rd Sunday of each Month 1-4 pm

THIS IS AN ADVANCED CLASS*

*Because the Active Shooter Defensive Scenario class is so intense it requires an advanced level of firearms training and experience.  We will ask you for details during registration 

Each month brings a new Defensive Scenario Class adding tactical thinking and movement to your skillset. Begin these sessions at any point. In each session, you will learn to move tactically and shoot while paying attention to the world around you.  

Do you think you could win a real-life, multi-target showdown?  These Scenario drills not only help you build the skills you might need in a fight but will assist in creative ways to deal on the “fly” with the bad guys. A scenario drill training requires you to do multiple things forcing you to divide your attention.   We cannot tell you what will happen in a gunfight because yours will be unique.
