UNLOCK CONFIDENCE in personal ability.

UNLOCK BETter weapon system PRODUCTION.

OUR job:

we fill the gap in collecting and effectively retransferring simple, proven and unbreakable weapons handling principles from world champion shooters and tier one operators to new knowledge hungry shooters or experienced shooters looking for a tune up/test of their foundation.

our principles are unoriginal and have been taught to us, which we then trained vigilantly to a point we feel comfortable teaching them.

this is not a performance shooting class, we will be focusing on the prerequisite handling of the weapon system and cementing overlooked fundamentals that will then in turn translate to having a performance ready foundation.

things like: loading the weapon, managing a loaded weapon confidently, safety manipulation, stance/posture, weapon ready positions, grip and vision.

we will be using a mix of in classroom theory, dry firing the gun to get familiar with touch points and then live fire to confirm the ability of the student primarily using timed drills to test recoil management at distances of 15/20 yards.

What we teach:

Our flagship course is called INTRO TO RIFLE OPERATIONS. It is a 1 day 5 hour long course going over safe, fast and accurate handling of an AR15 rifle for the prepared civilians, home owners and tactical professionals interested in developing elite fundamentals on the gold standard weapon system.

“what would you tell our class attendants”:

“Zach and Nick taught me how to shoot a gun for the very first time when I had zero experience.

Within 5 minutes I felt like I had known the inside and out of the gun from the way they taught me to operate it. I believe that the two of them are the best possible teachers I could have had to learn this skill. I enjoyed shooting with them very much, especially the way they explained stuff. They were very patient, but did not go to slow. Highly recommend learning from Zach and Nick and I cannot wait to go again.” - Lucas M

“Zach and Nick helped me learn how to properly shoot an AR rifle by walking me through each step with patience and precision.

They showed me how to handle the weapon safely, adjust my stance/grip to aim accurately. Zach and nick focused on teaching me how to be in the right stance and apply a perfect balance between right and left hand placement and balance between both legs to stand correctly. Their guidance made it a thrilling and unforgettable experience!!!!” - Moe K
