Training

We added some new classes that we are certain you’ll LOVE and are bringing back some specialty classes that haven’t been taught in a while!  Read more below:

NEW! Home Defense Series

This is a series of classes geared towards students that are focused on choosing the right platform for home defense, and then honing their skills on that platform through additional sessions.  A handgun isn’t always the right solution for your home and family members.  Sometimes a shotgun or a rifle would serve you better.  Come learn from our experts and try some popular platforms as you make your decision, and then spend time training on that platform with scenarios and drills geared towards helping you protect your home and loved ones.  These classes incorporate both the live fire range and our shoot house environment for scenarios.  They are listed below and you can read more and register here.

Introduction to Home Defense (Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun)

Intermediate Home Defense Rifle

Intermediate Home Defense Shotgun

Intermediate Home Defense Pistol

 

Back on the calendar this Spring….

Introduction to Low Light

Most situations that arise where you need to defend yourself or others, happen in the dark when it’s more difficult to identify your target.  Take the first steps towards becoming more proficient with your firearm in low light conditions by taking this class. Next session: April 30th.  Read more here.  

Beginner Red Dot Pistol

This class was designed to take your handgun shooting to the next level by incorporating an optic.  Not sure where to start?  This is the class for you!  The instructor will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various red dots, mounting solutions on pistols, and the fundamentals of using the optic for precision and defensive shooting. If you are ready to transition from iron sights and blurry targets to looking at a crisp bullseye – this class will build on the experience you already have and extend your confidence and abilities.

Next session: April 21st.  Read more here.

 

New Training Department furniture to keep you safe and comfortable when you choose Bristlecone for a class!

We’re always looking for ways to keep our students safe and comfortable, so that they can learn with confidence.  We’ve added new individual desks to our classrooms that enable us to maintain social distance and not sacrifice comfort!
