Pistol First Shots

This new shooter orientation class introduces basic pistol safety and functioning, key fundamentals for shooting well and small-group live-fire range time to put what you’ve learned into practice. Appropriate for all new shooters as well as youth. $44 (3-hr)

Prerequisite: None

Required Equipment: Students will need hearing and eye protection, and approximately 50 rounds of ammunition. We realize new shooters may not know which calibers they want to shoot, so we set aside time for students to purchase what they need after we have discussed pistol actions and calibers but before heading to the range.

Do I Need My Own Firearm?: No, but you may. If you own a pistol, we encourage you to bring it so you can practice with what you already own. If you do not have a firearm or if you simply want to try some different models, you may use ours at no cost during the class.

Dates: See all our class sessions when you sign up online. Of course, we also love it when people call or stop in. See you soon!

CCW

By far our most popular training class, our 8-hour CCW program includes classroom and practical range training. This class covers firearm safety, actions of various guns (how they function), key fundamentals for shooting well, and the do’s and don’ts of Ohio law related to owning and potentially using a firearm in a defensive situation. It also includes live-fire, small group coaching on the range to put what you’ve learned into practice. We enjoy helping new and experienced shooters gain knowledge and advance their skills. $119 (8-hr)

Prerequisite: None

Required Equipment: Students will need hearing and eye protection, and approximately 100 rounds of ammunition. We realize new shooters may not know which calibers they want to shoot, so we set aside time for students to purchase what they need after we have discussed pistol actions and calibers but before heading to the range.

Do I Need My Own Firearm?: You may use your own firearms or ours. If you own a pistol for practice or that you may want to use for concealed carry or home defense, we encourage you to bring it so you can practice with what you already own. If you do not have a firearm or if you simply want to try some different models, you may use ours at no cost during the class.

Dates: See all our class sessions when you sign up online. Of course, we also love it when people call or stop in. See you soon!

Constitutional Carry & the Law

This class focuses on key aspects of constitutional carry in Ohio law and use of force. Just as important as knowing how to use a firearm safely, we also need to understand use of force (when a firearm can and cannot be legal displayed and/or used in a potential self-defense situation) to avoid unintended civil or criminal liability. We want you to be physically safe, but we want you to be legally, morally and financially safe as well.

If you're a current CCW holder who wants an update on concealed carry, constitutional carry and changing Ohio laws, this class is for you.

This class is also useful for out-of-state permit holders who need to “pick up” Ohio legal (in conjunction with a separate live fire training) to obtain an Ohio CCW permit*. $49 (2-hr)

Note: While not refundable, training classes may be rescheduled with 5 days' notice.

*The Sheriff’s Department, not 22three, determines if an out-of-state permit holder can obtain an Ohio CCW permit with this training combined with a live-fire session and his or her out-of-state permit.

**The Sheriff's Department, not 22three, determines if online CCW training qualifies for the classroom portion of your CCW training. If you have taken a qualifying online CCW training class, this class along with a live-fire training session fulfills the legal and competency portion for those who have taken state approved online CCW classes.

Dates: See all our class sessions when you sign up online. Of course, we also love it when people call or stop in. See you soon! To also sign up for a live-fire, private training session (either shortly before or after the Constitutional Carry & the Law class), you may do so via our private training link.

Emergency First Aid/Trauma Fundamentals

This class will teach valuable skills, helping prepare students to deal with severe life-threatening injuries or illnesses when seconds count, and EMS personnel and emergency room are minutes (or longer) away. Whether from an accident or illness, active killer event, hostage situation, bombing or terrorist scenario, learning to quickly assess a patient and handle significant issues such as serious bleeding, chest injuries, a compromised airway, broken bones, and more can buy time and save your life or the lives of others. Each student will receive a trauma care manual. Discussion will also include how to build your own pocket trauma kit and suggestions for other supplies that could be easily obtained and kept on-hand. $89 (4-4.45 hours)

Prerequisite: None

Dates: See all our class sessions when you sign up online. Of course, we also love it when people call or stop in. See you soon!

Countering the Mass Shooter Threat

This seminar covers knowledge and tactics to thwart active shooters in public spaces, businesses, schools and places of worship. Find out what has been learned from an in-depth analysis of 165 Active Shooter events since Columbine. You will be given a clear snapshot of these events and specific information to help you prepare to counter and survive an active shooter event. We will address many important topics, which include but are not limited to: gun-free zones and victim responses that make a difference; knowing the signs and creating an emergency plan; and learning specific how-to's so that you are not an easy victim.

Prerequisite: None

Required Equipment: None. You will receive a Countering the Mass Shooter Threat handbook as part of this class.

AR Fundamentals

AR Fundamentals acquaints new shooters with the AR-15 platform. Understand your AR, including proper loading, unloading, and handling malfunctions; and learn how to most effectively use an AR, including proper grip, stance, sight alignment and trigger control.

Prerequisite: None

Required Equipment: AR-style carbine rifle (if you have one). Or, use ours at no additional cost. If you plan to use ours, please contact us ahead of time to let us know.

A note about winter classes: Thankfully, we have never had to postpone or reschedule a class due to weather.

We want to honor your time and will run classes as scheduled unless there is a Level 3 snow emergency.
