It was The Practical Shooting Academy that stepped forward to provide advanced training for the trainers teaching the Air Marshal Program after the events of 9/11/2001. Again, after 9/11, upon request by the US Secret Service, we designed and implemented advanced firearms training for all their instructors to teach vital firearms skills to those whose responsibility is the protection of the President of the United States.
We donÕt believe that "bigger" is necessarily "better" when it comes to firearms training. We stay strategically sized and focus on researching, developing and providing a level of training and training methodology that is unmatched in the industry. The results show in the performance of our students. Our standards are the highest in the industry because that is where they need to be in order for you to win!

Civilian and Open Enrollment Programs:
We don't neglect the civilian side of tactical training. In an increasingly unstable world, it is difficult for the police to be everywhere at once. We offer defensive firearms courses as well as practical/tactical courses that meet the needs of civilian students who want to take charge of their own personal security or are looking to increase their proficiencies.
Our competition courses help you learn the vital mental and technical skills you will need to increase your competitive edge. In a world where micro-seconds count, we provide that critical edge to increase your performance.

Practical Outdoor Skills:
There is more to using firearms than self defense. The use of firearms is an enjoyable pastime that provides entertainment for a lifetime and brings generations together. Here at The Practical Shooting Academy, we provide practical skills in long range rifle-craft, hunting skills, land navigation, survival and back country self defense.
We want you to be able to go out with confidence in the great outdoors, protect yourself, enjoy yourself, harvest your game efficiently and cleanly and make it back out again. We give you the training to give you that confidence.

We welcome you to our school and we are sincerely interested in your progress after you leave. We have made many friends over the years and we hope to make many more. Shooting has given us a way of life that we wouldn't trade for anything in this world. Come join us and share in a way of life that is uniquely American!
