Firearms Training

Safety first. Judgment always. Skill through repetition.

Every course begins with the fundamentals of safety and responsibility, then builds practical, real-world skill through patient, disciplined instruction.

The Stillwater approach

Firearms training is more than time on the range. It is a mindset — one grounded in situational awareness, legal knowledge, and calm decision-making. Instruction is delivered without ego, at a pace that matches the student, and with the professionalism you would expect from a career soldier and educator.
