Mission Statement

Our mission is to empower citizens through inclusive, value-driven instruction in firearms safety and emergency preparedness. We believe every individual deserves access to high-quality training that builds confidence, competence, and a deep respect for life, liberty, and personal responsibility.

We educate new and experienced shooters in the safe handling, use, and storage of firearms for sport, personal defense, competition, and hunting while advocating for the responsible exercise of Second Amendment rights. Our instruction is grounded in professionalism, integrity, and a commitment to pride, honor, courage, loyalty, and respect.

By removing stigma and promoting the positive role of firearms in recreation and self-reliance, we foster a culture of safety and civic responsibility. Through First Aid, CPR, and AED training, we prepare individuals to respond effectively in emergencies and serve their communities with readiness and care.

We also advocate wildlife conservation and the stewardship of natural habitats, recognizing the connection between responsible firearm ownership and the preservation of our outdoor heritage. Above all, we are committed to strengthening communities by cultivating informed, empowered citizens who are prepared to protect life and uphold freedom with clarity and conviction.
