Currently the demand has been for handgun related training.  To meet that demand we have specialized and focused our resources on handguns.  We have a variety of topics that we can cover during your training.  We find out your goals and develop a class that will enhance your skills and increase your shooting scores.

In addition, for Armed Companies, we can construct a training program that is specially designed for your company which meets your specific needs.   For example the training requirements for an armored car guard is completely different than for a bail bonds agent, which is different from armed security officers.  We work out a program that will begin a firm foundation for your personnel that will both challenge and encourage personal growth. 

From experience and research, we know that companies require that specialized training in order to accomplish their mission and to ensure the safety of their employees.  Our training program enhances officer safety, the safety of the public, and generally reduces insurance costs by providing quality unbiased training.

Handgun Topics can Include:

  • The Four Basic Safety Rules
  • Handgun Safety and Responsibility
  • Basics of grip
  • Stances
  • Drawing from the holster
  • Sight picture...Sight Picture...Sight Picture (Key Training Element)
  • Trigger squeeze
  • Reloads and malfunction clearing

When you master the basic foundation skills you are then ready for the more advanced skills such as:

  • Low light shooting
  • Use of cover and concealment techniques
  • Malfunction clearances
  • Tactical reloads
  • Failure to Stop Drills
  • Multiple Targets
  • Firing from the prone position
  • Carrying, Deployment, and Firing of your back-up gun (BUG)

Students will learn to integrate accurate shooting with safe and professional weapons handling skills through a series of intensive dry and live fire exercises. This training will prepare you to pass the Washington State armed qualification Test or prepare you with basic general handgun handling and firing.  The total training time is between 7-10 hours, including both range and classroom time.  We use the model of, "learn, crawl, walk, run", meaning we move to the next level of training when the basics are learned and can be performed.

Generally between 7 and 10 hours based on a variety of factors, which we will discuss prior to class and access during class.  Generally programs will be several one day training sessions spread over a period of time, weeks or months.  This enables students to dry fire at home, incorporate what was taught, practice, and to maximize training funds.

You walk away with easy to use and practice, tools and techniques that you can implement in order to maintain and improve your shooting skills.  Our instructors evaluate the training session and provide each student with a written evaluation of their skills and a easy to follow recommended training program. 

The post training document is completed and mailed out within five business days.  This enables a complete assessment and review.

If circumstances force you to cancel your class 50% is refundable.  Classes are much like a concert or sporting event, the instructor and all associated fees must be paid even if no one comes to the class.

Although we do not like last minute changes to our schedule and we know you don't either, we do reserve the right to cancel any class in the event of an emergency.  Of course, refunds will be issued. Please know that we will always do our best to accommodate you.

If outdoor range is used, please dress appropriately for the weather. 

Prior to the class you are sent a liability waiver.  It is a standard waiver, but please read it so that if you have questions you can seek the answers.
