First Shots for Beginners

First Saturday

Monthly

9am - 12pm

$60.00

These beginner classes are safety focused.  Learn to shoot a handgun, rifle or shotgun; the perfect starting point for first time shooters.

Our NRA Certified Instructors will make sure you're comfortable before live-fire by teaching and demonstrating firearm function & terminology, covering the four basic safety rules (below) along with typical range layout and etiquette. 

We use SIRT training equipment and real firearms with inert (non-functioning) ammo for student hands-on activities to ensure proficiency.

​

We provide all equipment needed to complete this class, including eye & ear protection, small caliber, low-recoil handguns, ammo and targets.  You are not required to bring anything but if you have a new firearm you want to learn with, you're welcomed bring it.

​

This class is capped at six students to ensure a safe environment and attention is given equally.

NC Conceal Carry Handgun

Third Saturday Monthly

8am - 5pm

$100.00

North Carolina has allowed law-abiding citizens to obtain a permit to carry a handgun concealed anywhere within the state (with exceptions) since 1995, yet less than 8% of the population have a Conceal Carry Permit as of 2017.

​

Our NC Conceal Carry Class is an all inclusive, information packed, hands-on class; we provide all classroom material and range equipment needed to complete.  You may use your own equipment, but we recommend not using a new gun for range qualification.

All you need to do is show up! 

​

You will learn:

• How to make handgun safety a habit

• Function of handgun components

• Four "rules" of Justified Self Defense

• Where you can & cannot carry a concealed handgun

• How to safely carry & how to present

• and more!

​

Each student will handle a handgun under supervision for practice, memory retention and demonstrate understanding.  Range qualification consists of shooting a total of 30 rounds, untimed, from three different distances.  Use your own handgun or one of ours (at no additional cost).

​

If you want to do more than sit and stare at a PowerPoint for 8-hours, you have found the right spot.  Sign-up today and join the other North Carolinian’s who have decided to take responsibility for the safety of their family and friends.

1 on 1 Training

On Demand

Saturday or Sunday

Hourly

$50.00

Our 1 on 1 training has a singular focus - YOU.

This class is outside any canned, predefined course outline.  We start this with a brief phone call to learn your goals, pair you with the most effective instructor for those goals and set a class date.  We can push you super aggressive, run & gun w/pistol & rifle or ease into handgun target shooting fundamentals.

You may prefer to learn some shotgun home defense drills - we can do that too.

​

It's all about you.  Your wants, needs & desires.

​

Here are a couple examples:

     A previous CCH student requested a 1:1 class to become more "prepared" so we setup a custom, two-hour agenda.  After discussing safety and identifying a skills baseline, they completed multiple reloading, moving to/from cover/concealment and shoot/no-shoot drills.

​

     A new student reached out and simply requested "I just want to be a better shooter".  We quickly realized that they were already educated & skills with their handgun.  On the fly, we changed the agenda to include immobilization drills, shooting on the move and off-hand shooting.

​

These tailored classes are the perfect follow-up to a Conceal Carry Class.
