Comprehensive Courses Designed for Walker Residents

Our training programs are built to meet you where you are. If you have never touched a firearm before, our three-hour beginner course walks you through safety fundamentals and proper handling techniques in a small group setting of up to four people. For those ready to earn their concealed pistol license, our eight-hour CPL class covers Michigan carry laws, safety protocols, and live-fire practice, all with equipment and food provided so you can stay focused throughout the day.

Walker residents who prefer a more personalized approach can book private lessons for one-on-one instruction, or bring along a spouse or a couple of close friends for a small group session. We also offer private shotgun lessons led by our masterclass sporting clay shooter, perfect for hunters looking to improve their bird hunting skills or clay shooters wanting to tighten their technique. Every course we teach uses both indoor and outdoor range options, giving you versatile training no matter the season.
