STEP: Safety Training Education Program for civilians

"What Classes Do I Take (and in what order)?"

​

Dear Shooters,

If you are brand new to shooting, start with a "First Time Holding A Gun" class in order to learn about parts of a gun, proper grip and stance, storing and/or carrying your gun, ammunition, basic defensive techniques and to shoot a .22 and 9 mm a couple times.

 

For the LADIES who are new to shooting or those who want to put in some practice time, we offer GALs (Guns And Ladies) shooting on Saturdays from 8:30 to Noon and Wednesdays from 3:00 to 7:00. It will only cost you $9 (plus ammo) and includes lane use, gun rental, eyes/ears and free instruction. Once a month we host a special GALs training session! Email TaraEngel@SurvivalTrainingLLC.com Janey Hicks at JaneyH@aphf.org with questions.  

 

Ladies, we also offer USCCA's Basic & Intermediate Defensive Handgun Class. You can find out more by contacting Tara Dixon Engel at TaraEngel@SurvivalTrainingLLC.com

 

Guys, (and ladies) our Tactical Practical every Friday is also a great way to test and improve your skill. 30 round minimum -- a different course each week. Only $10 to shoot!

 

Next, we recommend any of our Concealed Carry Classes. These include the following (look for them on the calendar below):

• The 3-hour Florida Carry and Defensive Handgun Fundamentals. This class offers one hour on gun-handling basics, one hour on the law and personal defense, and one hour for qualification time on the range. NOT for beginners. Class assumes you know the basics. Cost: $65

• We regularly offer a USCCA Defensive Carry & Home Defense class, a more comprehensive approach to personal defense, concealed carry, gun handling, home defense and more. This class can be taken by beginners or anyone wanting a more in-depth education. Cost: $85

• If you are over 50, we also offer regular Senior CCW classes. This class focuses on senior concerns, equipment and challenges as they related to firearms and defensive shooting. Cost: $85

• Did you know you can set up a private Defensive Firearms or Beginner's class with four or more people? Email TaraEngel@SurvivalTrainingLLC.com for more information.

 

Once you complete your Carry class, we recommend a trio of follow-on classes, taught by Radio Personality/trainer Royce Bartlett, that are designed to refine your skills and prepare you for advanced training. These classes are: Precision Pistol Marksmanship, Defensive Pistol Marksmanship, and Concealed Pistol Fundamentals.

 

You can also set up specific classes for your office or group; or put together a group training package that includes a class, a museum tour, simulator time and MORE. Email Janey Hicks for commercial and group sales and if you have any training-related questions at JaneyH@aphf.org.
