Defensive Shooting Class

Learn How to Properly Defend Yourself with Your Firearm

Prerequisite: Students must have basic shooting skills before enrolling in this class. This is not a beginner course. If you're new to firearms, we recommend starting with our Concealed Carry or Safe Gun Handling class first.

Course Overview

Ready to go beyond the basics? Our Defensive Shooting Class is designed for gun owners who want real-world defensive skills — not just target practice. This hands-on course bridges the gap between knowing how to shoot and knowing how to defend yourself under pressure.

You'll train in realistic scenarios that build muscle memory, sharpen your decision-making, and prepare you for the situations you hope never happen but need to be ready for. This isn't a lecture — you'll be on your feet, drawing, shooting, and thinking critically from start to finish.

What You'll Learn

  • Drawing from the holster — Safe, efficient draw technique that builds speed through proper form
  • Magazine reloading under pressure — Tactical and emergency reload drills so you never freeze when it counts
  • Engaging multiple targets — Transition drills that train your eyes, hands, and feet to work together
  • Double taps & controlled pairs — Accurate follow-up shots with proper cadence and sight recovery
  • Critical thinking under stress — Shoot/no-shoot decision-making when your adrenaline is pumping
  • Defensive movement fundamentals — Get off the X — learn to shoot while moving to cover

Who Is This Class For?

This class is ideal for concealed carry permit holders, home defense-minded gun owners, and anyone who has basic shooting proficiency and wants to take their skills to the next level. Whether you carry daily or keep a firearm for home protection, the skills taught in this class could save your life.

You should be comfortable with the fundamentals — loading, unloading, grip, stance, and basic marksmanship — before enrolling. If you're unsure whether you're ready, give us a call and we'll help you figure out the right starting point.

What to Bring

  • Your own handgun (in safe, unloaded condition)
  • A sturdy belt-mounted holster (no shoulder or ankle holsters)

  • A magazine pouch or pocket to carry spare magazines
  • Minimum 150 rounds of factory ammunition (no reloads)
  • Eye and ear protection
  • Comfortable clothing you can move in and closed-toe shoes
