Firearm Training Courses
It's better to have a gun, and not need it, than to need a gun and not have it

Concealed Carry Classes
The Ohio Concealed Carry Course (CCW) teaches the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude for owning and operating a pistol safely. This is a one day course consisting of 6-hours of classroom and 2-hours of range time learning to shoot revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. Students learn rules for: safe gun handling, pistol parts and operation, ammunition, shooting fundamentals, range rules, two handed and one handed shooting positions, cleaning the pistol, and continued opportunities for skill development.

Advanced Pistol Courses
Next Step CCW:
This course is designed around the actual carrying of a concealed weapon. Students should wear normal everyday dress attire, and carry their weapon as they normally would from day to day. A current CCW license is required to attend this training.
​
Combat Pistol:
The class will have a strong emphasis on shooting accurately while still building speed. Lectures and drills will involve an in-depth look at marksmanship fundamentals and their proper application.
