Instructor Team
Together with our team of highly skilled Instructors, we offer regularly scheduled group firearm courses for persons interested in both recreational shooting and lawful self defense. Our team approach provides more individual attention for students who benefit from the collective expertise of the Instructor team.
Experience Matters
We have trained literally thousands of individuals in New England , and receive many referrals from licensing authorities and former students. Group courses are offered in Connecticut and western Massachusetts. Private courses are available, but group courses offer the best value.
Programs
Firearm License Courses
Our comprehensive firearm license courses can qualify you to apply for licenses in several states. Courses include firearm laws, safe gun handling practices, firearm operation and nomenclature, shooting fundamentals, care and maintenance, etc. Prior experience with firearms is not required. Think of these classes as "driver's education for firearms".
Concealed Carry Training
This course is designed to be the next level after completion of a basic licensing course, for individuals who desire to carry a firearm for lawful self defense. A few Massachusetts Police Chiefs require completion of such courses to qualify for unrestricted "carry" licenses.
NRA Instructor and RSO Courses
Instructor development workshops are available in several disciplines to train experienced firearm owners to become NRA Certified Instructors. Prequalification requirements apply.
NRA Range Safety Officer courses are offered for individuals and shooting clubs in New England and New York. RSO's supervise shooting activities to promote safety and compliance with shooting facility SOP's.
