SUMMARY:Basic Defensive Handgun
DESCRIPTION: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. \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 an Indy Arms Company certificate of attendance upon completion of the course \nCost: $99.00 \nIncluded: \n\nRental Handgun if needed (Students are welcome to bring their own handgun)\nPersonal Protection Equipment: Eye and Ear Rental\nTargets\n\nCustomer Responsibility/Gear: \n\nComplete Liability Waiver prior to the start of class – Click Here\n75 rounds of ammunition\nArrive at least 15 minutes prior to class for check in\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. This will give us time to verify your range waiver at the counter. This is also the time to buy ammo\, Holster\, Hearing protection\, anything you will need for the class.

SUMMARY:Tactical Handgun 1
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Tactical Rifle 1
DESCRIPTION: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). \nTactical 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. \nStudents will shoot 200 rounds of ammunition. \nCourse Goal\n“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.” \nLessons \n\nBasic Rifle\, Home\, and Range Safety\nCommon Malfunctions\nSpeed loading\nMultiple shots and multiple targets\nMoving and scanning\nUse of cover\nReview and Questions\n\nPrerequisites: Students taking Tactical Rifle 1 should have an understanding of simple marksmanship\, and the basic operation of their rifle.

SUMMARY:USCCA Concealed Carry
DESCRIPTION:USCCA Concealed Carry\n\nThe USCCA Concealed Carry class is a defensive handgun course for those who carry\, or are considering carrying\, a handgun for self-defense. \nThe 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). \nUSCCA Concealed Carry is an informational and hands-on class in the carrying and use of a handgun in self-defense.  Jeff Cooper\, the legendary founder of Gunsite Academy\, is credited with saying\, “Owning a handgun doesn’t make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.”  This class is meant to address that issue by providing some of the basic knowledge and skills that will contribute to your being effectively armed. \nThe class covers firearms handling safety\, range safety\, and personal safety.  We summarize the legal\, psychological\, and law-enforcement response issues involved in using a firearm for self-defense.  (And for those wanting more information\, these topics are covered in extreme detail in a separate Indy Arms classroom course\, Fundamentals of Armed Self-Defense.)  We practice basic handling\, operation\, and shooting skills with training guns\, “dry” in the classroom.  And the course concludes with live-fire session on the range allowing students to train with their own defensive handgun (rentals available) through a series of defensive drills. \nThis course will consist of about 4.5 hours of classroom material and practice\, and about 1.5 hours of live-fire range time but sometimes runs a bit longer\, based on student questions. \nThe class will include the use of a rental gun at no additional cost.  Students should bring 125 rounds of practice ammo for their gun of choice. \nCourse Goal \n“To allow the student to experience first-hand some of the skills and challenges inherent in the use of a firearm in self-defense\, and to provide information and basics that will allow the student to practice and improve those skills.” \nLessons \n\nDeveloping a Personal Protection Plan\nSelf-Defense Firearms Basics\nDefensive Shooting Fundamentals\nThe Legal Use of Force\nViolent Encounters and Their Aftermath\nGear and Gadgets\nSuggestions for Practicing Basic and Advanced Skills\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. This will give us time to verify your range waiver at the counter. This is also the time to buy ammo\, holster\, hearing and/ or eye protection or anything else you will need for the class.

SUMMARY:Tactical Handgun 3
DESCRIPTION:Tactical Handgun III is the third 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. \nTactical Handgun III\, though an extension of Tactical Handgun I and II\, is different\, in that it has been designed to be to taken multiple times. Though the course of fire in Tactical Handgun I and II is the same each time the class is taken\, Tactical Handgun III is designed to integrate various skills in challenging drills that will differ each time the class is taken. \nThe class will consist of about 1 hour of classroom time and 3 hours of live-fire range time \nThe class requires 300 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 and II\, in order to develop and refine those skills and add additional skills to the student’s defensive ability. \nLessons \n\nContinued development of presentation skills\nAdvanced Defensive Fire\nMultiple Targets and Shooter Movement\nUse of Cover and Low-Light Shooting\nMalfunction Clearing\nIntegrative skills (combining multiple elements)\n\nPrerequisites: Students taking Tactical Handgun III should have completed Indy Arms Tactical Handgun II. Individuals taking this class should have the personal handgun that they intend to use/carry for personal defense\, along with a suitable concealment holster or carry purse with a dedicated department for firearms carry. If you have any questions\, please contact a Senior Instructor at Indy Arms Company. \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\nHandgun\, a proper non collapsing holster and a good stiff belt to retain your gun properly\n300 Rounds of ammunition and 3 magazines\nAn OWB magazine pouch for 2 or more magazines\nA small single-hand flashlight\n\nNOTES: \n\nRental handguns must use ammunition purchased from Indy Arms\nStudents under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult\nStudents arriving more than 10 minutes after the designated start time may not be allowed into class\nDue to the demand and set up time required for this class\, registration fee is non-refundable\n\n***Please come in 15- 20 min early to complete the necessary check in process before any training class.

SUMMARY:Basic Defensive Shotgun
DESCRIPTION:Basic Defensive Shotgun\nBasic 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. \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.

SUMMARY:Basic Defensive Rifle
DESCRIPTION:Basic Defensive Rifle\nBasic Defensive Rifle is an informational and hands-on class in the use of the modern semi-automatic rifle as a home defense weapon. 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). \nRifles are extremely effective home self-defense weapons\, and they have both advantages and limitations. These need to be understood and respected to use the rifle effectively and safely. \nRifle handling safety\, range safety\, and safe storage are addressed. We will go through the basic operating systems of these platforms\, and the most common malfunctions. We will practice basic handling\, operation\, loading and unloading with dummy ammunition in the classroom\, and proper mounting of the rifle and use of the sights. The course concludes with live-fire session on the range\, shot at various distances and speeds. And can be shot with both iron sights and with optics if those are available. It is important to have usable iron sights on the firearm. Optics can be finicky\, depend on batteries\, and can sometimes be difficult to dial in. \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 shoot 150 rounds of ammunition. \nCourse Goal\n“To allow the student to understand the operation and appropriate use of the defensive semi-auto rifle\, and to provide information and basics that will allow the student to practice and improve those skills.” \nLessons \n\nBasic Rifle\, Home and Range Safety\nRifle Operating Systems.\nCommon Malfunctions.\nLoading and Unloading\nProper Mounting and Sighting Technique\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\nRifle\n\nAR-15 Platform chambered in .223\, 5.56\, 22LR\, or pistol calibers\nMini-14 chambered in .223 or 7.62\nAKS Platform chambered in 7.62\n\n\n150 Rounds of ammunition\, 2 magazines\, and functioning iron sights\n\nNOTES: \n\nThis class is specifically designed for the AR-15 platform.
