We run a firearms training company.

What in the world does that mean?

Basically we teach firearm safety and the proper use and application of firearms in a recreational or defensive sense. We presently teach NRA Basic Pistol and Illinois Concealed Carry classes. We teach a number of different ways. We teach open classes, group classes, women’s only classes and small group classes.

I (Jesse) am a NRA certified instructor and Range Safety Officer and has been teaching classes for over 5 years. My shooting experience began at a young age growing up around firearms and was originally taught the proper use and safety of firearms from my parents. I studied hand to hand defense tactics and threat mitigation. I have been through multiple tactical classes in both rifle and handgun. At this time the primary classes I teach are the NRA Basic Pistol and Illinois Concealed Carry.

Katie is also a NRA certified instructor and was certified to teach NRA classes in May of 2013. Katie is a Range Safety Officer. Katie has taken tactical pistol and hands on self defense classes and brings that knowledge into every class she teaches. Katie also is the Chapter leader for the Metro East chapter for the Well Armed Woman, a ladies only shooting group that meets once a month at a local range.
