LTC Course

This is a fun filled four hour course which includes live fire!

This course is required to take if you are interested in obtaining your License to Carry (LTC). We have been in business for over 15 years and have taught thousands of students.

Our courses are taught by our team of professional instructors. The men and women on our staff all share a passion to introduce firearms safety training in a friendly family atmosphere. All of the instructors have many years of teaching experience and some of them started their own journey by taking their first gun safety course with us.

Intermediate Course

Once students demonstrate proficiency in pistol safety and handling, they move to the next level, where they learn to safely draw and fire at stationary targets. We begin slowly to reinforce muscle memory and ensure comfort, which has proven effective for progress.

This stage also focuses on teaching smooth magazine changes, done at a methodical pace, just like drawing from the holster. Even the fastest shooters use this approach.

We reintroduce timed shooting, adding controlled stress once students have mastered the basics, then gradually increase the pace.

Multiple targets are introduced; sparking competition and helping students see their improvement. Many report that this is when the fundamentals truly click!

LEOSA Qualification

The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA), often referred to as HR 218, allows qualified Law Enforcement officers (LEOs) and qualified retired LEOs (RLEOs) to concealed carry in any jurisdiction in the United States, regardless of state or local laws, with some exceptions. It was enacted in 2004 and amended in 2010 and 2013. 18 U.S. Code §§ 926B & 926C  Therefore, an individual who qualifies under LEOSA does not need a state-issued concealed carry permit in order to carry a concealed firearm in any state.

Who Is a Qualified Law Enforcement Officer (QLEO)?

LEOSA/HR 218 applies to employees of governmental agencies who:

• Are authorized by law to engage in or supervise the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution of or the incarceration of any person for any violation of law, and has statutory powers of arrest or apprehension under 10 U.S. Code § 807, (article 7(b) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice);

Competitive Shooting

STEEL CHALLENGE COMPETITION TRAINING

Looking for a simple and straightforward shooting competition that won’t break the bank? We go over everything about Steel Challenge (SCSA). Looking for a simple and straightforward shooting competition that doesn’t require tons of special equipment or learning a bunch of nitpicky rules just to figure out the basics of how a match works?
Then Steel Challenge is for you.
Steel Challenge competition is a fun and exciting avenue of speed shooting competition, but it’s ultimately not much more than organized, competitive plinking.

Competitors shoot in eight stages of five targets each. In each stage, shooters give five runs, or opportunities to shoot the stage’s course (with the exception of Outer Limits, in which shooters only get four runs). You may also hear runs referred to as “strings.”

Each run is timed and the shooter must hit all five targets to complete the run, but only need to hit each target once and are allowed as many rounds as they need. One target is designated the “stop plate.”
The timer cut off is triggered by hitting the stop plate, so the shooter must hit all four other targets before hitting the stop plate.
They can hit the other four targets in any order they choose before hitting the stop plate–unless a stage’s rules designate otherwise–but the setups of the different stages typically encourage certain shooting patterns.
