Defensive Handgun
New York has entered a new reality: more law-abiding citizens are carrying concealed handguns than ever before. With that right comes a serious responsibility—being trained to carry safely and effectively.
This course is designed for NYS Concealed Carry Permit holders who understand that going to the range and punching holes in paper is not defensive training. Carrying a handgun in public requires discipline, sound judgment, and the ability to manage real-world situations safely—not just marksmanship.
- Who This Course Is For:
• Individuals committed to safe, competent, and accountable carry
- Why This Training Matters:
A concealed carry permit authorizes possession—it does not prepare you for the realities of defensive carry. This program exists to close that gap by helping serious permit holders develop the confidence, judgment, and responsibility required to carry a firearm around others.
If you carry a handgun for personal or family protection, this training isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Ammunition and loaner handguns are available for those who need them.

Advanced Defensive Handgun
This advanced tactical handgun course is designed exclusively for experienced shooters who are ready to operate at the highest level. This is not entry-level training—students must already demonstrate safe, efficient weapon handling and meet strict prerequisite requirements. Performance and safety standards are absolute, and only confident, capable shooters should apply.
The course delivers fast-paced, high-intensity instruction focused on precision fundamentals, one-handed shooting, movement, use of cover, close-contact engagements, and rapid threat response from all directions. Students should arrive fully equipped with a quality handgun, rigid holster and belt system, appropriate outdoor attire, and sufficient ammunition. Class size is intentionally limited to maintain a high instructor-to-student ratio and maximize individual performance gains.

Defensive Shotgun
The shotgun is one of the most effective defensive tools available—but it is also one of the most misunderstood and improperly used. Many gun owners assume that familiarity with a handgun or rifle automatically translates to shotgun proficiency. It does not.
This course is designed for responsible gun owners who keep—or plan to keep—a shotgun for home and family protection and recognize that defensive shotgun use requires dedicated training. Simply owning a shotgun or firing a few rounds at the range does not prepare someone to run it safely, efficiently, or under stress.
- Who This Course Is For
Homeowners who rely on a shotgun for personal or family defense
Concealed carry permit holders expanding their defensive skill set
Gun owners who want structured, professional training—not assumptions
Individuals who understand that power without proficiency creates risk - Why This Training Matters
Shotguns demand a unique combination of weapon handling, decision-making, and accountability that is not addressed in handgun or rifle courses. Without proper training, a shotgun’s effectiveness can quickly become a liability.
This program exists to help serious, safety-minded gun owners develop the confidence and competence required to use a shotgun responsibly in a defensive context. If a shotgun is part of your protection plan, this training ensures it is an asset—not a hazard.
Upcoming Sessions
Defensive Rifle
This Defensive Rifle class is built to elevate your close-range rifle skills, with an emphasis on speed, accuracy, and confident weapon handling under pressure. Students will focus on efficient shooting fundamentals, reloads, and practical deployment of the modern defensive rifle within typical defensive distances.
Participants should bring a semi-automatic rifle, magazines, ammunition, and standard range safety gear, along with footwear suitable for movement. A rifle sling is recommended, and loaner rifles with ammunition are available for those who need them.
