The Skills Lab Training Series offers practical, application-based training for responsibly armed Americans, building technical skills, applied knowledge, and critical thinking for informed problem-solving.
The goal of the series is simple – To build up skilled, confident, and competent assets to our community. Whether you’re new to the shooting sports or to personal protection, or you’re shooting grand master level, you’ll find helpful processes, useful tools, and advancement in each session.
Each of the eight sessions covers a distinct topic. Attend individual classes or complete the full progressive series at a discounted rate. Skills Lab bridges the gap between the range and real life for those committed to preparedness.
Each session is held on Thursday evening at a Birchwood Shooting Park classroom from 6pm-8pm. All equipment unless otherwise stated is provided, however personal gear is encouraged.
No live ammo is allowed in the room during dry fire, blue, gun, or SIRT gun hands on training.
