Johns Creek Indoor Range Instructor

Whenever children are involved, teaching the fundamentals of firearm safety is crucial. This class is geared towards kids that haven’t been exposed to firearms as well as those who have. We do this through teaching ‘’education, prevention, and action’’.

• What do you do when you encounter a firearm.
• Universal safety rules for handling a firearm.
• Anatomy of a firearm and how it works.
• Fundamentals of shooting.

This course will establish a foundation that can be built upon, though positive reinforcement and a fun learning experience.

The shotgun is a proven and highly effective weapon and is legal in all 50 states.

In this class, you will learn solid techniques for preparing you and your shotgun for defensive purposes.

This will include safety, loading and unloading, modifications to consider, storage, ready positions, and ammunition choices. Using dummy rounds and birdshot students will go through multiple manipulations and strings of fire and end with 10 rounds of buckshot to confirm the effective range of their individual shotgun with their choice of ammunition.

Students need to bring: A pump-action or semi-auto shotgun. (There will be a couple of rentals available, see contact info below)

Slings are allowed but are not necessary to attend in class

50 to 75 rounds of birdshot. (50 will work, bring 75 if you want to shoot a little more)

10 rounds of buckshot, if you have it. (Federal Flite Control 8 pellet 00 buckshot is strongly recommended if you can obtain it)

A way to carry spare ammo on either your shotgun or your person. This can be any combination of side-saddle, butt cuff, dump pouch, or at minimum loose-fitting pants with generous pockets.

Comfortable clothing and shoes. NO flip flops, open toes shoes, or low-cut tops.

Baseball style cap or visor.

Safety glasses and hearing protection. (I recommend doubling up with both earplugs and muffs.)

2. A holster if you have one but it is not a requirement. Pocket holsters are allowed. Cross draw and shoulder holsters will not be allowed for safety reasons.
3. At least 50 rounds of ammunition. If you bring more you may get to shoot more.
4. Normal safety gear including hearing and eye protection. (Also available from the range)
5. Speed loaders, speed strips and ammo pouches if you have them.

This is where you get a solid foundation. We start in the classroom. You'll learn the ins and outs of the AR-15: what its parts are, how to field strip and clean it, and how to choose the right optic for your needs. We'll cover the fundamental shooting positions and body mechanics you need to be effective before we hit the range. We'll get your rifle zeroed and run some basic drills. By the end of this course, you'll have fired 50 rounds of ammunition (included) and you'll know how to run your rifle safely and proficiently.

No more talking, just shooting. This class is all about live fire. We're going to push your skills further with 150 rounds of ammunition (not included). We'll build on the basics and move into more intermediate shooting drills, working on speed and accuracy. You'll learn how to properly use a sling and other essential gear to support the rifle. We'll work on transitioning between targets, smoothly changing magazines and solving simple malfunctions. The goal is to make the rifle an extension of your body, allowing you to operate instinctively and efficiently. This course will give you the confidence to handle your rifle in more dynamic situations.

We're going to treat your AR-15 as a home defense tool. We'll discuss the legal use of force and the responsibilities that come with it. We'll go over how to choose the right ammunition and accessories for a home defense setup. On the range, we'll run advanced drills that simulate real-world scenarios with 150 rounds of ammunition (not included). We'll work on shooting from different positions and angles, and managing recoil under stress. By the time you finish this class, you'll have more than just marksmanship skills—you'll have the knowledge and mindset to effectively use your AR-15 as a tool for personal defense.
