WHY DO WE OFFER THIS AMAZING DEAL?

We’re not discounting this class to sell seats.
We’re doing it because criminals don’t ask permission — and they don’t give warnings.

For too long, criminals have decided who becomes a victim. This class exists to take that power back and put it where it belongs — in the hands of responsible people who choose to protect themselves and those they love.

   We want to make our community a safer place!  

The price drop — and the bring-a-friend free — isn’t a sale. It’s an invitation to stop outsourcing your safety and start owning it.

SO IS THIS TRAINING FOR YOU?

WHO THIS CLASS IS FOR

This class is for you if:

You’re new to firearms & don’t know where to start

You own a firearm but don’t feel confident using it yet

You’ve avoided training because ranges or classes felt intimidating

WHO THIS CLASS IS NOT FOR

This class is NOT for you if:

Experienced shooters looking for advanced tactics

People who want to “wing it” without proper safety training

Anyone unwilling to learn responsibly

You want safety, clarity, and confidence—not ego or pressure.

$149.00  Now $75 and you get to bring a friend for FRE!

Most new shooters don’t avoid training because they don’t care.

They Avoid it Because:

  • They’re afraid of looking stupid

  • They don’t want to ask “basic” questions

  • They feel overwhelmed by gear, rules, and opinions

  • They don’t know who to trust

The result?

A firearm they don’t feel confident using—and uncertainty instead of peace of mind.

That’s exactly what this class fixes.

What Makes This Different?

Most firearm classes are built for instructors.

This one is built for beginners.

The New Shooter Accelerator is different because:

  • It’s designed specifically for first-time shooters

  • No ego. No pressure. No intimidation

  • Questions are encouraged—nothing is “assumed knowledge”

  • You learn through hands-on guidance, not lectures

We slow it down on purpose—because confidence comes from clarity, not speed.

After the New Shooter Accelerator, you will:

  • Understand firearm safety without confusion

  • Know how to properly handle, load, and unload a firearm

  • Feel calm and confident—not rushed or judged

  • Leave knowing exactly what your next step should be

 

This isn’t about becoming “tactical.”
It’s about becoming responsible, confident, and prepared.

What You'll Learn

  • IInside the New Shooter Accelerator, you’ll learn:

  • The rules of firearm safety—and why they matter

  • How firearms actually work (in plain English)

  • Proper grip, stance, and basic operation

  • How to safely handle a firearm in real life—not just in theory

  • What to practice next so you keep improving

 

You won’t just hear information. You’ll experience understanding.

I was very nervous going into this class as a woman who had never touched a firearm before, however I was pleasantly surprised by Kurt and his team. I walked away from this class feeling empowered and informed and would recommend Kurt to anyone! You can tell this is his passion and that he really cares about making sure his students are being safe. 10/10!
