The Shoot House Experience is a safe, fun experience with your friends, co-workers, date night, etc. There will be brief instruction at the beginning, then we will kit you up in your PPE and begin scenarios in the shoot house. There will be a short debrief in between scenarios, but instruction is very limited. This is not a course or training. Our intention is to keep you safe and reinforce basic safety fundamentals as you enjoy the challenge of working the shoot house against your friends or our instructors.

Classes vary based on stated focus.

In Private Training, the focus is directed by you - and can include among the following: Home Defense, Low Light, Vehicle CQB, Active Shooter, Beginner to Advanced Pistol and / or Rifle, etc. Private Training can be done individually or in small groups.

You will be in our facility for about an hour and a half, including check-in, safety briefing, and gearing up. The session itself is 45 minutes long or until you run out of ammo, whichever occurs first. More ammo is available for purchase.

* No outside video or photography once class, training, or shoot house experience begins. You are welcome to take photos and videos before and after your session.

GoPro rentals available.
