Safety

Safety comes first, last, and always

The entire training experience is built on safe habits, clear communication, and a calm training environment. Students are expected to follow range rules, respect the equipment, and train with intention.

Core safety principles

  • Treat every firearm as if it is loaded.
  • Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
  • Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
  • Know your target and what is beyond it.

“Good training builds confidence without cutting corners.”
