COURSES OFFERED

Our courses focus on mastering the defensive and combative elements required for the safe and effective deployment of firearms.  Each class is a stand alone course.  Some classes have prerequisites.  

There is no prerequisite for our CCW class. 
Upon completion you will be able to apply for your State of Ohio CHL.  

 

Our advanced firearms training courses are designed for those individuals who want to take their skill set to the next level.  Each course focuses on specific techniques and strategies to prepare students for those situations where the deployment of firearms may be necessary.  We do ask that participants in these courses have a solid foundation in firearms safety, handling, and shooting for the specific weapons system the course is designed for.    

 

Additionally, you are just as likely to be around a person who has been the victim of trauma, and being prepared can help save lives.  Our REAL WORLD TRAUMA course is designed to get you ready for when someone has suffered a life threatening injury and time counts. There is no prerequisite for this course.  

We can't wait to train with you!

June 11 2022 Handgun-102.jpg

The Ohio CHL Class is a great primer for those who want to carry a firearm for personal security.  But if you seriously want to be able to defend yourself you will need to perform to a certain standard on an autonomic level.  This class will expose students to those standards as they work on drawstoke, recoil control, and increasing speed and accuracy.  This class is for students who have completed the OHIO CHL/CCW and want to take their skills to the next level.

GUNSET PISTOL: ADAPTATION

GUNSET PISTOL: MOVEMENT

June 11 2022 Handgun-102.jpg

The goal of Gunset Pistol: Adaptation is to expose you to and equip you with the skills required to survive the unfolding chaos of a gunfight.  Typically as citizen self-defenders, we are operating out of an ambush scenario, so we must be able to adapt to the circumstances we find ourselves in, so that we can prevail.  We will be shooting from compromised or unfamiliar positions, performing one handed and weak handed manipulations, working recovery tactics and techniques, and challenging you to adapt under stress.  This is a challenging course, but one of the most important.   ($200 - 400 Rounds - 8 Hours)

Anyone who studies gunfights knows that they rarely happen while everyone is standing still.  However, that is still how most people practice.  In Gunset Pistol: Movement, we will examine when you should move, why you should move, and how fast you should move.  Students will work on proper movement techniques and tactics to put themselves in a position to win the fight.  This challenging class can be scaled to any age or fitness level.  Students will work on specific skills like explosive lateral movement, moving to and utilizing cover, and moving while shooting. 

($200 - 400 Rounds - 8 Hours)

GUNSET PISTOL: RETENTION

IMG_6850.PNG

Most civilian armed self defense encounters have a few things in common.  They typically begin and end quickly, they are usually very violent, and they usually happen at close range, making retaining your pistol one of the most important skills you should have as a armed citizen.  This class will focus on those close quarters gunfight techniques, and will give student an opportunity to work through some of these difficult scenarios.  

($200 - 8 Hours - 200 Rounds)

REAL WORLD TRAUMA
