Concealed Carry Improvement Course

Concealed Carry Improvement Course

Audience:

New or seasoned Concealed Carry Handgun Permit holders that are looking to improve their concealed carry and shooting skills.

Scope:

This course is for Concealed Carry Handgun holders to increase their carry skills or serve as a way to ‘knock off the rust’ if you attended a CCH course a long time ago. This is accomplished in a safe environment aided with the efficient use of a handgun. Classroom instruction and practical exercises on the range will provide the student a solid skill set in basic shooting fundamentals, concealed carry scenarios and handgun manipulation skills.

Participants should be prepared to train in all weather conditions, this course is both indoor and out. This program can be challenging and participants should come to class with an open mind and a good attitude. With our personal approach to training, low student to instructor ratio, your skills will improve! This course is designed to be instructed to 5 or less students, so please bring your friends.

Upon arrival you will need to present your North Carolina Concealed Carry Handgun (NC CCH) card (or state applicable Concealed Carry Card).

This is a 4 to 8 hour training day 8:30 am to 5:00 pm with 30 minutes for lunch. If you elect to do a short course please contact Kevin to select morning or afternoon. It is highly recommend that you bring your lunch as you will have no options within 15 mins of the range.
