Public Classes

The majority of our students are interested in the defensive application of firearms. Practical Edge Shooting understands that our students must first learn how to operate a firearm before they can learn how to effectively utilize their firearm for the protection of life.

Our training programs begin with teaching firearm safety and skill. We teach practical shooting concepts, which is the ability to hit what you intend to hit with speed obtained through economy of motion, along with taking advantage of how the body naturally functions.

Formatted Classes

"That was a very well laid out class, exceptional would by my word. The range drills and exercises from the basic level class at Practical Edge were better than what I've previously been exposed to."
Brian H.

"This is great, it's a cool feeling to receive instruction from someone who knows what their talking about."
