READ REVIEWS

"I’ve only gotten into the world of gun ownership fairly recently, and took my first ever class with Stirner Tactical Concepts to qualify for a concealed carry permit. I was horribly nervous and felt incredibly out of my depth, especially with the knowledge that I had a live fire test looming over my head.

However, my instructor's incredible teaching not only helped to carry me through the class, but allowed me to pass with live fire test with excellent results. Stirner Tactical has an extremely professional, attentive, and competent teacher who focuses not only on the basic requirements of gun ownership such as legal knowledge and shooting form, but also the physical, psychological, and behavioral requirements to be a safe and proficient gun owner. In addition, all of the information is delivered without the machismo and performative nonsense that has made being a new member of the gun owning community so difficult. If you choose to take classes at Stirner Tactical Concepts, you will receive practical, high quality instruction and advice delivered in a down to earth and approachable manner. I would highly recommend this program to anyone, be they a new gun owner like myself or an experienced person looking to bolster their skills."

"I was new to firearms. Choosing Stirner Tactical and learning here was a fantastic experience. It was clear from the start that we were learning in a safe environment from a professional. Detail and safety were paramount but not in a ridged, formulaic process.

There was plenty of open discussion and hands on demonstration before a “real” gun was touched, which was good for me. It also felt like the more experienced folks in the class were engaged and provided feedback I found helpful as well.

Outside of class, I’ve also been able to reach out and get reliable information and advice incredibly quickly.

My experience with Stirner was nothing but positive and encouraged me to take more courses and continue learning.

Choosing Stirner Tactical was the best choice I made when I decided to learn about guns."

When I first found Stirner Tactical I had very little firearms experience. Taking classes here had made me so much more confident in my abilities. I had a great teacher. They are very knowledgeable in what they teach, and not only that, but they are very respectful towards their students as well. Learning how to shoot can be very intimidating, especially if it’s your first time. I’ve seen the way they interact with their students. They will never make you feel stupid or inadequate. Their top priority is making sure their students succeed.

Great training for all levels.

I learned alot from Stirner Tactical Concepts. What I value is the bredth of the instructor’s knowledge and how they can effectively apply it to all levels of students. From brand new to experienced shooters, they can get you where you want to be. As an intermediate shooter, on and off for the past 40 years, the instructor was able to assess my base skillset, reinforce my fuzzy concepts, but most importantly identify the gaps in my knowledge of things I had not yet learned or forgotten completely. I appreciate that ability and look forward to taking many more classes.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends, are you ready to hold a gun?

We have many class options for brand new shooters.

For the gun curious, who simply are not ready to start handling a firearm but want to learn more, we offer Home Firearm Safety, a low commitment opportunity to learn about firearms safety and ask questions without the hands-on experience of shooting.


For those who are ready to learn about safely shooting a firearm, and want guidance on using one, you can sign up for our NRA FIRST Steps course or the Intro To Pistol/Intro To Rifle Courses. The NRA FIRST Steps course is a shorter, simplified version of the Intro to Pistol/Rifle courses, which cover a more in-depth classroom experience.

Lunch

Many of our classes run the entire day - meaning that there is not an opportunity to stop, and go grab lunch. Besides, while we teach at multiple ranges, many of them are not near restaurants where you can buy food. Please bring enough food and water to keep yourself comfortable for the entire day.

Your Own Firearm

Many of our classes provide the opportunity for you to shoot/use your own firearm.

Please see the description of the class you have in mind for full details, because certain models of firearms may be banned entirely, or may be banned for certain classes (ie. You cannot bring a sub-compact firearm to our Basic Pistol classes because sub-compact firearms are more challenging to shoot than what we cover in this beginner course).

A Pencil

Many of our courses include a multiple-choice exam at the end. We advise you bring a writing utensil that can be erased, should you make a mistake. You are also encouraged to bring any resources you that you like to take notes with.

The STOP THE BLEED® campaign is based on lessons learned by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on how best to control severe bleeding.
