Reality comes in many shapes and sizes — and it changes every day.
Your reality may be competitive shooting, fun at the range, or legitimate concerns about personal protection. It might be a need to hunt for food or a desire to hunt for sport. In every one of these scenarios a firearm is an effective tool — providing you are trained to handle it safely and effectively. The first fact to remember is that more people are killed or injured every year by the unsafe handling of a firearm than by violent intent – always start there.
Whether you are a brand new shooter trying to dispel myths and get the facts about calibers and firearm types, or an experienced shooter navigating the new legal realities of permitless carry — we have a course for you. We offer programs for rifle, shotgun, and handgun shooters. Let our expert marksmen help you improve your accuracy, and our former LEOs help you understand what happens after you are forced to use your firearm for self-defense.
We Face Reality and we don’t pull any punches. That’s just common sense.
Most people have imagined the armed intruder scenario. Your home violated. Your family threatened. It is the nightmare that drives many people to buy a firearm in the first place.
But there are worse outcomes than facing an intruder. There are outcomes that happen after the shot — when the threat is down and you realize the round that missed went through a wall. Into another room. Where your child was sleeping.
It happens. Not often — but once is too often. And the guilt of that moment, the weight of that single errant round, is a burden no parent should ever carry. Preparation exists precisely to prevent that tragedy — and preparation begins with knowledge. Knowledge of your firearm, your ammunition, your home, and your own limitations under stress.
That is why we teach what we teach. That is why every course — from First Steps to advanced defensive training — is built around the same foundation. Safe shooters have more fun, shoot better, hunt smarter, and stack the odds if faced with a threat.
The first step in any effective use of firearms is SAFETY, a basic orientation to your platform followed by the fundamental principles of marksmanship. Personal defense is a focus for many people in today’s world — if that is your goal, you need to bring these skills together in a comprehensive course covering situational awareness, fight, flight, or hide decisions, and defensive shooting under stress. Whether in the home or on the street, let us teach you the skills you can use to Face Reality and Live.
That is reality. Face It & Live.
