Explore Our Popular Classes

While you can find classes that will issue you a CHL in under an hour, we feel it is irresponsible for most new students to do so.


We have arranged the webpage so our most popular classes appear first. 

  • Our Basic Shooter is a great starting point. 
  • Our Concealed Carry Class is why most people come to us.
  • Home Defense Shotgun is almost self-explanatory.
  • The Active Shooter Defense Scenarios is an Advanced program. 


There are no shortcuts to competency. Skill building takes time. These classes highlight four steps toward family self-sufficiency. We offer ethical, practical, and professionally prepared classes. It's only natural that the valley's most experienced training facility would make this Innovative change. In the past decade, we've trained most of the other teachers in the Rogue Valley 

 

We will still offer classes on-site, at your home, or at your business. Ask about discounts and special program packages. We continue to offer specialized courses, such as our "Ministry of Defense" course for religious organizations and our "Agent Awareness" course for Realtors. Be sure to ask about our two NRA-certified full-day programs: "Personal Protection in the Home" and "Personal Protection Outside the Home."

To qualify for this class, we need to know about your other firearms training (such as our Concealed Carry Mastery, Women’s Defensive Series, etc.) and experience. Please include that in the Registration Comments section.


Each month brings a new Defensive Scenario Class adding tactical thinking and movement to your skill set. Begin these sessions at any point. In each session, you will learn to move tactically and shoot while paying attention to your surroundings.  Do you think you could win a real-life, multi-target showdown? There is a good reason for running many different types of drills while learning to defend yourself.


These Scenario drills not only help you build the skills you might need in a fight but will assist in creative ways on the “fly” to deal with the bad guys. Scenario drill training requires you to do multiple things, forcing you to divide your attention.   We cannot tell you what will happen in a gunfight because yours will be unique. It will be different from any other. We will train you to keep your eyes on the front sight while seeing the targets and the surrounding elements. Scenario training teaches you spontaneous tactical moves to protect yourself, loved ones, or those who cannot protect themselves. 


You will be:

  • Reloading under stress 
  •  Using cover and concealment techniques
  •  Learning to avoid life-threatening confrontations
  •  Strengthening your defensive mindset​. 

All classes are kept small in size to ensure personal attention and a safe training environment.
