This Is Not a Routine Shooting Course

Anyone can send rounds downrange. Protecting yourself and your family takes knowledge, skill, and the right mindset, and this advanced course delivers all three.

In one intensive session, you’ll build the skills to use a handgun safely and efficiently to protect yourself and your family, and learn the law that protects your right to do so.

6 to 8 hours on the range. 400 rounds. $125.

Train With Certified Professionals

Every WJS Guns instructor is USCCA and NRA certified. You’ll learn from people who teach defensive shooting for a living and know how to push you hard while keeping the range safe.
