This is an outdoor course, so dress for the weather and for range conditions.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR

This class is taught by Joe, a retired law enforcement Lieutenant and U.S. Air Force veteran with more than 30 years across military and law enforcement. He served as a SWAT operator and later as Tactical Commander of a SWAT division, working through more than 2,000 high-risk entries. He is an explosives-certified breach tactician, an EOD tech, and a USCCA certified firearms instructor.

None of which matters on day one, and that is the point. What makes Joe worth learning from is that he takes complex movement and firearms concepts and breaks them into simple, repeatable skills that work whether you have fired ten thousand rounds or zero. You will not be talked down to and you will not be shown anything you cannot do by the end of the class.
