Our professional NRA-certified instructors can help you learn new skills, and polish existing ones, in a variety of exciting and challenging shooting disciplines.  We offer a full spectrum of high-quality courses, from NRA basic pistol or rifle, to defensive handgun, and up through specialized courses in combat rifle marksmanship.

Firearms Training Simulation (FiTS)

Firearms Training Simulations (FiTS) is an exciting new component in firearms training, allowing you to improve your shooting and reaction skills, by offering alternative shooting and training environments.  For decades Law Enforcement Officers (LEO) and military personnel have used shooting simulators to increase shooting proficiency, and hone decision making skills.  FiTS can be varied, between hundreds of different realistic scenarios, and even for different outcomes and participants in the same scenario.  We're located in town, close to you in Northern Colorado, providing all these advantages over traditional ranges.
