                Our Philosophy

                There is a set of core rules that all gun owners must know to be considered safe and responsible.  We embrace the courses offered by the NRA as our foundation for education, and have expanded on that foundation a curriculum of practical and tactical techniques for self defense as it applies to concealed carry and self defense.  We offer classes for Pistol, Rifle and Shotgun and specialize in beginner to intermediate shooters. 

                CLASSES SCHEDULED BY REQUEST ONLY

                Below is our menu of courses, all of which can be tailored to your specific needs or interests.  We offer private training courses for groups of 4 or more, or we will quote you a daily rate from groups of 3 or less.

                CAPS Practical Firearms Training

                We have developed a curiculum of classes that takes you beyond the basics that the NRA courses offer.  Our courses below are spent entirely at the range and skill sets are taught based on repetition and a defensive mindset.  We do not teach offensive skills sets such as room clearing, or close quarter battle techniques which are designed for working in teams, more appropriate for law enforcement and military.  Our focus is the responsable armed citizen.
