United States Army Special Operations

Paradigm shift: A.T.A.C.'s Firearm Training for Women

“Most schools teach the primary objective is to shoot the target. We teach the primary objective is NOT to be shot by the target…”

Four guests per class. Small custom courses, with 1-on-1 coaching. NO tests and NO competitions!

Eight different courses: Home Defense, Urban Defense, Vehicle Defense, Road Rage Defense Public Defense, Crowd Defense Practical Precision, and Practical Exercise.

Twelve custom-built ranges, 360-degree capability for moving and shooting. Low light capability to simulate a realistic armed environment!

What We Offer:

A rare, essential, real-world, highly realistic, safe, and entirely tailored to lawful self-defense for the armed American citizen.

We accomplish more in far less time than commercial courses.

What Makes A.T.A.C. Different?

Instructors

Husband/ wife team retired military officers, US Army Special Operations Command, they have been shot at and had to shoot back in combat. Providing 1 on 1 coaching, NOT a typical assembly line approach like most commercial courses give you.

Women

Highly focused on the needs of the woman seeking self-defense firearms & tactics training. Commercial courses train men and women exactly the same disregarding the competencies, and advantages of a woman’s psychology in firearms training. (Multi-tasking, Procedurally minded etc).

Training

Citizen training is designed to reduce your chance of being shot and increase your odds of surviving. The primary objective is NOT to be shot.

Objective

This is not a conventional "shooting school”, but a gunfight survival total immersion experience providing high repetitions to achieve capability. (Each day of training a student will fire between 500 or 700 rounds.)

Curriculum

What can really happen in a real deadly force encounter for a citizen, teaching tactics & techniques relevant to and effective for the needs of citizens (versus military, law enforcement, security, etc.)

Ranges

Multiple 360-degree ranges designed for scenario training in shoot houses and vehicle environments, nearly entirely focused on THREAT IDENTIFICATION, and ARMED JUDGEMENT, all focused on the survival of a deadly force threat.

Silencers

No hearing protection required! The firearms are lightweight, with low recoil with no overpressure. This allows you to fire hundreds of rounds in eight hours of training without reaching firearm fatigue. All ammunition and equipment are provided in the course costs. This is a come-as-you-are course.

Targets

3-D, life-like, fully-clothed, human mannequins with integrated bullet traps. Inert firearms and non-weapon objects will be in the hands of the target for realistic threat identification.

Prerequisite

We work with anyone at any level of proficiency or any limitation (injury or illness). You will learn how to survive a gunfight, no firearms experience is needed. If you don’t have a concealed carry permit we will run a local background check.

Focus

Lawfully armed self-defense courses concentrated on Home, Vehicle, Public and Urban defense.

Techniques

The tactics are not what is commonly taught in the private sector, we have developed practical and simple actions a citizen facing a lethal threat by one or multiple assailants truly needs.

Facility

A developed and tailored compound that features the ability to experience nearly every possible variable, stimuli, and situation that a citizen might encounter in a real self-defense situation/ violent deadly force assault. Male and female bathrooms, climate-controlled classroom with a kitchenette for your convenience.

Learn the Basics

We teach you how to survive a deadly armed encounter by making you a harder target to be shot.

A small break area with a kitchenette is provided for our guests. With the exception of one range, all our courses are covered from the elements.
