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. (See “Customer Responsibility/Gear” section below) \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.  Individuals taking this class should have the personal rifle that they intend to use for home/personal defense.  Indy Arms Basic Defensive Rifle is an acceptable prerequisite\, 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. \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:  $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\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\n200 Rounds of ammunition (Ammunition may be purchased from Indy Arms Company or students may supply their own\, subject to inspection and approval)\, 2 magazines\, and functioning iron sights\nA rifle sling is optional for this class\n\nNOTES: \n\nThis class is specifically designed for the AR-15 platform.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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\, Fundamentals of Armed 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 Advanced Defensive Handgun starting in July 2025 and in separate Indy Arms hands-on course\, Tactical Handgun I\, II\, III\, and IV.) 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. This class is taught by Indy Arms’ one of Indy Arms’ female Senior Instructors: Meghan Lowery or Alice Kessinger. \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 \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 \nPrerequisites: None \nCourse Completion: Students will receive an 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: $99.00 \nIncluded: \nRental Handgun if needed (Students are encouraged to bring their own handgun)\nPersonal Protection Equipment: Eye and Ear Rental\nTargets \nCustomer Responsibility/Gear: \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 \nNOTES: \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***Please arrive 15- 20 minutes early to complete the necessary check in process before any training class.

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 (see “Customer Responsibility/Gear” section below). \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. \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:  $99.00 \nIncluded: \n\nRental Rifle if needed (Students are encouraged to bring their own rifle)\nPersonal Protection Equipment: Eye and Ear Rental\nTargets\n\nCustomer Responsibility/Gear: \n\nComplete Liability Waiver prior to the start of class –  Click Here\n150 Rounds of ammunition (All centerfire rifle ammunition must be purchased from Indy Arms Company\, either at time of check-in for class or previously and stored with us)\, 2 magazines\, and functioning iron sights\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\n\n\nNOTES: \n\nThis class is specifically designed for the AR-15 platform.

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. 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.
