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.
Student-Focused Philosophy
This is a knowledge-focused course, meaning, the only requirement needed to attend is a willingness to learn. Certified Instructors explain the “why” behind the fundamental skills of safe and effective AR-15 operations, giving you a holistic understanding of what’s being taught.
Builds Confidence and Competency
We focus intensely on building your skillset and familiarity with the AR-15 platform, which boosts confidence in your own abilities. A foundational understanding of the platform, paired with a boost in confidence, helps ensure you are better prepared in the event of a dynamic critical incident.
