Tactical Rifle 2
2026-06-12 18:00 - 22:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis)
Tactical Rifle 2 is an informational and hands-on class in the use of the modern semi-automatic rifle as a home defense weapon and extends the training provided in Indy Arms’ Basic Defensive Rifle and Tactical Rifle 1 courses. Tactical Rifle 2 moves beyond accuracy and basic tactical skills to include shooting from cover, multiple target engagement, transitions, and tactical movement. The class is based on the most common self-defense rifles, of which the AR-15 platform is the overwhelmingly dominant example. The Ruger Mini-14 (based on the Garand platform) and the AK family of rifles (commonly but incorrectly referred to as the AK-47) are also suitable for the class (if you are bringing a rifle other than an AR-15 platform, please inform Indy Arms when you register for the class).
Tactical Rifle 2 includes lecture, dry fire and live-fire sessions and can be shot with both iron sights and with optics if those are available. This course will consist of about 1 hours of classroom material and practice, and about 3 hours of live-fire range time. The class is nominally four hours in length, but sometimes runs a bit longer, based on student questions.
Students will shoot 300 rounds of ammunition.
Course Goal
“To continue the structured development of the tactical skills required to comfortably and effectively use a semi-auto rifle for home/personal defense, and to provide the student with techniques and exercises to develop and refine these skills.”

Tactical Handgun 2
2026-06-13 18:00 - 22:00
Tactical Handgun 2 is the second in a series of three Tactical Handgun classes that address the essential skills required to use a handgun as an effective self-defense tool. 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.
The class will consist of about 1.5 hours of classroom time and 2.5 hours of live-fire range time
The class requires 200 rounds of ammunition.
Course Goal
To 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.
Lessons

Concealed Carry Methods
Drawing from Concealed Carry
Advanced Defensive Fire
Multiple Targets and Shooter Movement
Use of Cover

GSSF League
2026-06-14 15:00 - 18:00, 2026-07-12 15:00 - 18:00
Indy Arms Company is proud to host Glock Sport Shooting Foundation (GSSF) Indoor League Matches!

GSSF indoor leagues are designed to be accessible to the newest shooter (the free Glock given away each league is randomly awarded among all those that compete), but also challenging for experienced shooters (winning plaques to be awarded after all three dates are complete).
Never shot competitively before? New to Shooting? You can track your progress from month to month and test and grow your basic skills (guns are shot at low ready, no drawing from holsters). Experienced with handguns? An ‘old hand’ at competing? The further ranges in the course of fire will challenge you to further hone your skills.
Each league is a series of three matches conducted over a 3-month period (one match (on the second Sunday 3-6pm) a month). Participants can shoot only on the date of match and must compete in two of the three matches of each league to qualify for placement, plaques and prizes.
Recent GSSF Match Results
Competitors may shoot ANY GLOCK pistol in the Indoor League. There are three broad divisions; Stock (any Glock (with a 10 round or greater capacity) other than the G42 or G43 that has had no or very minimal modifications), Unlimited (any Glock (with a 10 round capacity) other than the G42 or G43 that has been modified), and Pocket (G42 or G43 with no or very minimal modifications).
See below link for full list of acceptable modification on stock weapons as well as modifications that result in unlimited designation.
GSSF Full Rules – Click Here
Cost is $20 for the first Glock (any division), $15 for each additional Stock or Unlimited Glock entered and $10 for each Pocket Glock (G42 or G43) entered*
* Price does not include any equipment or gun rental and/or ammo purchase (competitors can bring their own ammo, eyes, ears, and Glocks)
The Lewis Prize Allocation System is used to distribute placement plaques as equitably as possible. One designated Glock per division used during 2 or more match will be considered for placement in the final results. Your two best scores of each division (one designated gun per division) during the series (of three) matches will be totaled and averaged at the end of the 3-match series.
Participants may shoot more than one Glock in each division. However, for each division ONLY your designated Glock will be placed in the rankings. Additional Glocks shot in the same division may still be considered for the 500 or 250(Pocket GLOCK) Club awards and for additional entries into the free Glock drawing at the end of a three month (3 match) league (or to just track your monthly progress).
Plaques are awarded to the top scoring shooter in each of the following categories at the end of each three match/month league; Class A Stock (top 33% of scores) Class B Stock (middle 33% of scores). Class C Stock (bottom 33% of scores). Junior (<18) in Stock, Woman in Stock, Senior (55+) in Stock, Unlimited, and Pocket.
A Free Glock is given away in a lottery consisting of all shooters who shoot two of the three matches (dates) for each league.
Scoring: Course of Fire A and Pocket
Allocate points for each shot as follows:

10 points = X Ring
10 points = 10” Ring
8 points = 8” Ring
5 points = any other bullet mark on the target

If a shot cuts the line, the higher point value is given.

There is a maximum of 500 points.
When scoring Course of Fire Pocket GLOCK there is a maximum of 250 points

Winners will be posted on the GSSF website at www.gssfonline.com under the Indoor League tab and in The Glock Report

Basic Defensive Handgun is a practical classroom and hands-on class in the use of a handgun in self- defense. 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.
This 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)
This 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.
This class has been developed by experts on Indy Arms staff, including nationally recognized authors and presenters, and career firearms instructors and law-enforcement trainers.
The class will include the use of a rental gun at no additional cost. Students may use their own defensive handgun and ammo.
Students will receive a detailed course handout and additional information on available resources.
Course Goal
“To allow the student to gain an understanding of basic handgun skills, and practice those basic skills with expert coaching and advice.”

USCCA Emergency First Aid Fundamentals
Would you know what to do if you were deep in the wilderness and a hunting companion sustained a penetrating chest wound from an errant round? Could you prolong the life of a loved one long enough for the ambulance to arrive, if he or she had sustained a lacerated artery from a violent attacker armed with a knife? While most Americans are comfortable dealing with the cuts and scrapes of everyday life, and tens of thousands have learned the Heimlich maneuver and CPR, most individuals would be a bit less comfortable dealing with severe, life-threatening injuries or illnesses when seconds count and EMS personnel and the emergency room are minutes (or longer) away.
It might seem unrealistic to compare what professional EMTs and paramedics are able to do with the things that non-professionals would be capable of, but in life threatening medical and trauma situations it all boils down to the same thing — sustaining the life of the patient until he or she can be delivered to the emergency room.
The United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) is one of the preeminent training organizations in the country providing Concealed Carry Handgun and Home Defense classes, and a broad range of superb training publications, videos, and on-line programs. The USCCA also provides a range of excellent self-defense firearm legal insurance programs. Indy Arms is proud to currently have five USCCA-certified firearms instructors (and three USCCA Training Counselors) on our training staff (and all of those instructors are also certified by other major training organizations, including the National Rifle Association, Tactical Training Associates, and the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy).
Course Goal
“To allow the student to experience first-hand some of the skills and challenges inherent in stabilizing and injured individual with special emphasis on stopping the bleed from slashing or puncture (gun shot) wounds.”
Lessons

Tactical Rifle 1
2026-07-07 18:00 - 22:00
Tactical Rifle 1 is an informational and hands-on class in the use of the modern semi-automatic rifle as a home defense weapon and extends the training provided in Indy Arms’ Basic Defensive Rifle course. Tactical Rifle 1 moves beyond basic accuracy and safety to include use of force for home defense, shooting from cover, multiple target engagement, and shooting and moving. The class is based on the most common self-defense rifles, of which the AR15 platform is the overwhelmingly dominant example. The Ruger Mini-14 (based on the Garand platform) and the AK family of rifles (commonly but incorrectly referred to as the AK47) are also suitable for the class (if you are bringing a rifle other than an AR15 platform, please inform Indy Arms when you register for the class).
Tactical Rifle 1 includes lecture, dry fire and live-fire sessions and can be shot with both iron sights and with optics if those are available. This course will consist of about 2 hours of classroom material and practice, and about 2 hours of live-fire range time. The class is nominally four hours in length, but sometimes runs a bit longer, based on student questions.
Students will shoot 200 rounds of ammunition.
Course Goal
“To begin the structured development of the fundamental skills required to comfortably and effectively use a semi-auto rifle for home/personal defense, and to provide the student with techniques and exercises to develop and refine these skills.”

Practical and Legal Realities of Self Defense
Indy Arms Practical and Legal Realities of Self-Defense is a 4 hour, classroom-only course that explores several of the critical issues confronting anyone who finds him or herself required to use force – especially deadly force – in self-defense. We will address:

The Basic Legal Principles governing the Use-of-Force in Self-Defense
The Psychological, Perceptual and Physiological challenges of a Self-Defense situation
Safely handling the response of Law Enforcement
Preparing for a range of responses from the Criminal and Civil Justice Systems
Dealing with the response of the Media and Public

In each of these areas we will try to address the myths, misinformation, and misunderstandings that have become commonplace in discussions of armed self-defense situations.
The course is designed to allow time for questions and exploring the topics.
The class is taught by Indy Arms’ Chief Instructor, Tony Gregory, who is a 30-year veteran police officer, current police Captain, academy instructor, and expert witness/consultant in civilian and police use-of-force cases.

Basic Defensive Shotgun
2026-07-10 18:00 - 22:00
Basic Defensive Shotgun is an informational and hands-on class in the use of the modern pump or semi-automatic shotgun as a home defense weapon. 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.
Shotgun 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.
This 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.
Students will fire about 60 rounds of ammunition: 45 rounds of birdshot, 10 buckshot, and 5 slugs.
Course 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.”

Advanced Defensive Handgun
2026-07-15 18:00 - 22:00

Tactical Handgun 1
2026-07-17 18:00 - 22:00
Tactical Handgun I is the first of a series of three Tactical Handgun classes that address the essential skills required to use a handgun as an effective self-defense tool. 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.
The class will consist of about 2.5 hours of classroom time and 1.5 hours of live-fire range time.
The class requires 150 rounds of ammunition.
Course 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.
