A firearm safety, training, and consulting venture
NRA Basic Pistol – Teaches the basic knowledge, skills, and attitude for owning and operating a pistol safely.
Using NRA developed curriculum this 8-hour course includes classroom and range time teaching students to shoot revolvers and/or semi-automatic pistols.
Students must pass a written Basics of Pistol Shooting Student Examination and perform a Live Fire Evaluation to receive a course completion certificate.
Either in a classroom, meeting room or church, we can work with you or your group to meet your needs. Women Only Class? We do that too. Class sizes are kept small so that safety may be covered extensively as safety is paramount in all that we do.
Classwork can be performed in your home or office and followed up with time at the range.
Unsure about what firearm might best suit your needs, our staff can work with you. We can also help address and/or mediate safety concerns that you may be facing.
Missouri Concealed Carry Classes are coming soon. Please reach out to discuss upcoming classes.
Our staff has been educating students on firearm safety, use and marksmanship for over 20 years. We work with individuals, civic groups, and churches and have been certified to instruct not only by the NRA, but also by the State of Illinois and soon the State of Missouri for Concealed Carry.
There has never been a Negligent Discharge (ND) by a student or instructor in any of our classes. Not 1. Safety is paramount in all that we do!
Since 1871 the NRA, the longest-standing civil rights organization in America, has been at the forefront of civilian, military and police firearm marksmanship and safety training. Our instructors have completed specific NRA Training to fully utilized the curriculum provided by the NRA. Worthy of note, before we could attend training to become instructors, we first had to be a student and pass the same class our students now take.
Whether you are taking a class to overcome a fear or to fulfill a bucket list, or if you are a first-time shooter thinking of purchasing a firearm and want to learn more before deciding what to buy (or need to learn more after the purchase), or you plan to become a world class competitor and just need to find a place to start, or perhaps you have been shooting for years but never had any formal education and finally believe it is time to get-a-round-to-it – this is your place. We are here to help you realize those ambitions, goals, or needs and the satisfaction that brings.
I started coaching friends and coworkers in shooting sports in Illinois, but it turned into more when the state finally allowed lawful concealed carry. I took a 16-hour class and realized safety wasn’t given enough attention. So, my son and I obtained certification by the NRA and Illinois State Police to teach handgun safety and concealed carry. Over time, we grew and added instructors who shared our commitment to safety. We’ve relocated to the Four States area and are continuing our passion for firearm safety.
Safety is paramount in everything we do!
