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."

  Firearm Instruction:
    Level 1 (1 day)
This class is intended for the beginning shooter to experienced shooters new to professional instruction. Class serves as a base to build from for defensive firearms, recreation, and sport. Students will receive classroom and live fire instruction on the fundamentals of accuracy to include stance, grip, aiming, and trigger manipulation. Class consists of 7 hours of instruction, which begins with classroom followed by live fire training.
Level 2 (1-day)
This class will continue the instruction for those students who have successfully completed the Level 1 class. Class will consist of a review of concepts from Level 1, followed by instruction on how to practice. Live fire instruction will focus on handgun presentation from the holster, reloads, firing multiple rounds, and engaging multiple targets. Applying the taught concepts to shooting a rifle and/or shotgun will also be presented.

Practical Defense:

Practical Edge Instructors are tactically trained shooters first. We will train you how to effectively use force for the protection of yourself and others. This class will transfer the skills learned in the above Firearm Instruction classes to defensive concepts and tactics. Due to the nature of this class we are very selective on who we will train. This class is conducted over multiple training sessions and is only open to Practical Edge Shooting students.

The above classes are held locally and announced to those who have contacted us to indicate interest. Standard tuition for a locally held one day class is $165.00 per student. Private instruction is available to include classes formatted specifically for small groups. Tuition determined by location of training, facilities, and number of students.

Shooting Clubs, Associations, and Ranges

Practical Edge Shooting will conduct training at your facilities. We are capable of providing all training supplies to include targets and target systems. We can also provide multiple instructors to ensure that each student receives specific and personal attention. We offer incentives in the way of free training slots to those who host training.

We will need to speak with a responsible person from the hosting Club/ Range to access the skill level of those who will attend so we can provide specific training to your members. Our instructors have tactical backgrounds and are experienced competitive shooters. We can assist you in applying tactical and competitive skills to meet your training goals. Contact us to inquire about hosting training.
