During the our years of operation we have found numerous inconsistencies, urban legends and quality issues in the realm of firearms training beyond the programs offered by the National Rifle Association (NRA).

This was particularly true in the area of Concealed Carry education in most states With the exception of a few states everyone teaches different “stuff”, it is urban legend based, not always factual and/or the material and laws are stale-dated.
With thousands of clients instructed we found through direct interview results as follows:

Prior Training :
- Was in-consistent
- Content was lacking
- Instructors were doing their “own” thing
- Professionalism was varied in the industry

These inconsistencies are jeopardizing the shooting sports industry, our businesses and most importantly citizens’ rights and privileges.
As a result of these findings we were motivated to “do something”. We believe we have a very good strategy, course contents and a very high client satisfaction rate. We can make the client satisfaction claim as we poll all our clients for rating our programs and our team. With this desire and goal to “do something” we made a business decision to productize our programs and supporting systems to be licensed by those instructors who believe in our core values of:

Consistency
Quality
Commitment
- To our client
- To the shooting sports industry

To provide to those instructors who wanted the same:

Commitment to excellence
Defined and repeatable processes
Cost and time effective solution
Rapid start for the new or expanding instructor business or avocation

The instructors who are listed on our website deliver our program with the same commitment to quality of education and client statisfaction as we do. These instructors are chosen as a result of their expertise, numerous interviews and a "vetting" process that not just any body is selected.

Taking a course from them is the same as if you were taking it at Tall Guns.
