How is this AR-15 Training Different?

Training for
Real Life

Most AR-15 training courses outside of the USCCA are high-intensity, high-speed, and aren’t focused on the civilian market. Our goal isn’t to train you like you’re part of an elite tactical unit, rather, we provide instruction that builds a strong foundation for students of all experience levels.
