Basic marksmanship ability and an understanding of the rule of law governing the use of force in self-defense are certainly a necessary part of this skill set. But for those seeking serious competence\, a much broader set of abilities is required. Each of the three Tactical Handgun classes builds on the skills and techniques taught and practiced in the preceding classes. \nThe class will consist of about 2.5 hours of classroom time and 1.5 hours of live-fire range time. \nThe class requires 150 rounds of ammunition. \nCourse Goal: To begin the structured development of the fundamental skills required to comfortably and effectively carry and use a handgun for personal defense\, and to provide the student with techniques and exercises to develop and refine these skills. \nLessons \n\n Legal Framework of Defensive Handgun Use\nHandgun and Ammunition Selection and Options\nDrawing from your Carry Holster or Carry Purse\nBasic Defensive Live-Fire\nEssential Malfunction Clearing\nSpeed Reloading\nScanning and Simple Movement\n\nPrerequisites: Students taking Tactical Pistol I should have an understanding of simple marksmanship\, and the basic operation of their handgun. Individuals taking this class should have the personal handgun that they intend to use/carry for personal defense\, along with a suitable outside-the-waistband holster or carry purse with a dedicated department for firearms carry. Indy Arms Basic Defensive Handgun\, and/or USCCA Concealed Carry Handgun are acceptable prerequisites\, as are most classes from recognized shooting schools. Experienced shooters who have not taken any formal classes should contact Indy Arms to make arrangements to drop by for a brief skills checkout. If you have any questions\, please contact Indy Arms staff. \nCourse Completion: Students will receive an Indy Arms Company certificate of attendance upon completion of the course. \nCost: $99.00 \nIncluded: \n\nPersonal Protection Equipment: Eye and Ear Rental\nTargets\nTraining Aids\n\nCustomer Responsibility/Gear: \n\nComplete Liability Waiver prior to the start of class – Click Here\nArrive at least 15 minutes prior to class for check in\nHandgun\, a proper non collapsing holster and a good stiff belt to retain your gun properly\n150 Rounds of ammunition and 2 magazines\n\nNOTES: \n\nRental handguns must use ammunition purchased from Indy Arms\nStudents under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult (ask about a youth discount for training classes)\nStudents arriving more than 10 minutes after the designated start time may not be allowed into class and will need to reschedule\n\n***Please come in 15- 20 min early to complete the necessary check in process before any training class.

Jeff Cooper\, the legendary founder of Gunsite Academy\, is quoted as having said\, “Owning a handgun doesn’t make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.” Although marksmanship skill is critical to the ability to use a handgun in self-defense\, marksmanship alone is not sufficient. \nThis class addresses the basic information\, skills\, and situations relating to the use of a handgun as a self-defense tool and is also taught as a Women-Only-Taught-by-a-Female-Instructor class. The class provides an overview of the legal\, psychological\, and law-enforcement response issues (These are also covered in greater depth a separate Indy Arms classroom courses; Essentials of Indiana Gun Law\, Practical and Legal Realities of Self-Defense\, and USCCA Concealed Carry) \nThis class focuses on the fundamental safety\, marksmanship and manipulation skills required to use a handgun effectively. (Carrying\, drawing\, and the associated equipment are covered in a separate Indy Arms hands-on course\, Tactical Handgun I\, II\, and III.) This course will consist of about 2 ½ hours of classroom and “dry” handling and drills\, and about 1 ½ hours of live-fire range time.

Basic marksmanship ability and an understanding of the rule of law governing the use of force in self-defense are certainly a necessary part of this skill set. But for those seeking serious competence\, a much broader set of abilities is required. Each of the three Tactical Handgun classes builds on the skills and techniques taught and practiced in the preceding classes. \nThe class will consist of about 1.5 hours of classroom time and 2.5 hours of live-fire range time \nThe class requires 200 rounds of ammunition. \nCourse Goal \nTo continue the structured development of the fundamental skills required to comfortably and effectively carry and use a handgun for personal defense\, building on the techniques and exercises previously practiced in Tactical Handgun I\, in order to develop and refine those skills and add additional skills to the student’s defensive ability. \nLessons \n\nConcealed Carry Methods\nDrawing from Concealed Carry\nAdvanced Defensive Fire\nMultiple Targets and Shooter Movement\nUse of Cover\nSecond Level Malfunction Clearing\n\nPrerequisites: Students taking Tactical Handgun 2 should have completed Indy Arms Tactical Handgun 1.

A shotgun is an extremely effective\, diverse\, and psychologically intimidating self-defense weapon. But there are many misconceptions about it\, and it is sometimes as intimidating to its users as it might be to an attacker. Shotgun operating systems tend to behave differently than most other firearms\, and need to be understood and practiced. And shotguns can fire an enormously broad range of ammunition types\, not all of which are suitable in some situations. \nShotgun handling safety\, range safety\, and safe storage are addressed. We will go through the basic operating systems (pump and semi-automatic) commonly used in self-defense shotguns. We will practice basic handling\, operation\, loading and unloading with dummy ammunition in the classroom\, and proper mounting of the shotgun. The course concludes with live-fire session on the range\, shot at various distances and speeds\, and with different types of shotgun ammunition. \nThis course will consist of about 2 ½ hours of classroom material and practice\, and about 1 ½ hours of live-fire range time. The class is nominally four hours in length\, but sometimes runs a bit longer\, based on student questions. \nStudents will fire about 60 rounds of ammunition: 45 rounds of birdshot\, 10 buckshot\, and 5 slugs. \nCourse Goal: “To allow the student to understand the operation and appropriate use of the defensive shotgun\, and to provide information and basics that will allow the student to practice and improve those skills.” \nLessons \n\nBasic Shotgun\, Home and Range Safety\nShotgun Operating Systems.\nLoading\, Unloading\, or Changing Loads in a Shotgun\nProper Mounting and Technique for Shotgun Use\nLive Fire Range Exercises\nEquipment and Ammunition\nReview and Questions\n\nPrerequisites: None \nCourse Completion: Students will receive an Indy Arms Company certificate of attendance upon completion of the course. \nCost: $99.00 \nIncluded: \n\nPersonal Protection Equipment: Eye and Ear Rental\nTargets\n\nCustomer Responsibility/Gear: \n\nComplete Liability Waiver prior to the start of class – Click Here\nArrive at least 15 minutes prior to class for check in\nPump or Semi-Automatic Shotgun\n60 rounds of ammunition: 45 rounds of birdshot\, 10 buckshot\, and 5 slugs\n\nNOTES: \n\nIf you need a shotgun please contact the range to secure the usage of a shotgun for class; rental shotguns must use ammunition purchased from Indy Arms\nStudents may purchase ammo from Indy Arms or bring their own ammunition for use in a class as long as it adheres to Indy Arms’ ammunition policies.\nStudents under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult (ask about a youth discount for training classes)\nStudents arriving more than 10 minutes after the designated start time may not be allowed into class and will need to reschedule\n\n***Please come in 15- 20 min early to complete the necessary check in process before any training class.

Jeff Cooper\, the legendary founder of Gunsite Academy\, is quoted as having said\, “Owning a handgun doesn’t make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.” Although marksmanship skill is critical to the ability to use a handgun in self-defense\, marksmanship alone is not sufficient. \nThis class addresses the basic information\, skills\, and situations relating to the use of a handgun as a self-defense tool and is also taught as a Women-Only-Taught-by-a-Female-Instructor class. The class provides an overview of the legal\, psychological\, and law-enforcement response issues (These are also covered in greater depth a separate Indy Arms classroom courses; Essentials of Indiana Gun Law\, Practical and Legal Realities of Self-Defense\, and USCCA Concealed Carry) \nThis class focuses on the fundamental safety\, marksmanship and manipulation skills required to use a handgun effectively. (Carrying\, drawing\, and the associated equipment are covered in a separate Indy Arms hands-on course\, Tactical Handgun I\, II\, and III.) This course will consist of about 2 ½ hours of classroom and “dry” handling and drills\, and about 1 ½ hours of live-fire range time. The class is nominally four hours in length\, but may sometimes run a little run longer\, depending on attendance and the number of questions. \nThis class has been developed by experts on Indy Arms staff\, including nationally recognized authors and presenters\, and career firearms instructors and law-enforcement trainers. \nThe class will include the use of a rental gun at no additional cost. Students may use their own defensive handgun and ammo. \nStudents will receive a detailed course handout and additional information on available resources. \nCourse Goal \n“To allow the student to gain an understanding of basic handgun skills\, and practice those basic skills with expert coaching and advice.” \nLessons \n\nBasic Firearm and Range Safety\nOverview of the legal\, psychological\, and law enforcement issues relating to defensive firearm use.\nThe Basics of Firearms Use and Handling.\nDry Handling and Practice in the classroom.\nLive-Fire Range Exercises\nReview and Questions\n\nPrerequisites: None.

However; if you are new to firearms you are strongly encouraged to take our Introduction to Handgun prior to this class \nCourse Completion: Students will receive a USCCA/Indy Arms Company certificate of attendance upon completion of the course. \nIf this class is a prerequisite for additional classes and the instructor has concerns regarding a student’s skills\, the instructor\, at their sole discretion\, can note that the student needs to retake the class or seek private instruction before continuing on to more advanced classes. \nCost: $149.00 \nIncluded: \n\nRental Handgun if needed (Students are encouraged to bring their own handgun)\nPersonal Protection Equipment: Eye and Ear Rental\nA copy of the USCCA’s book Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals \nTargets\n\nCustomer Responsibility/Gear: \n\nComplete Liability Waiver prior to the start of class –  Click Here\n125 Rounds of ammunition and 2 magazines\nArrive at least 15 minutes prior to class for check in\nHandgun\n\nNOTES: \n\nRental handguns must use ammunition purchased from Indy Arms\nStudents under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult (ask about a youth discount for training classes)\nStudents arriving more than 10 minutes after the designated start time may not be allowed into class and will need to reschedule\n\n***Please arrive 15- 20 minutes early to complete the necessary check in process before any training class.
