Firearms and Personal Safety Courses
If you are looking for a firearms training course in Alaska, this is where to start. Accurate Advantage offers firearms and personal safety training for new shooters, experienced gun owners, hunters, and anyone who wants to feel more prepared. Courses are organized by skill level and platform so you can choose what fits your experience, goals, and comfort level. You can start with the basics, build confidence, then move into more focused or advanced training when you are ready.
Our handgun courses take you from first shots to advanced defensive skills in a structured, supportive way. New shooters learn safe handling, basic marksmanship, and foundational habits. Intermediate and advanced students work on efficiency, speed, decision making, and running a handgun with more control and confidence.
Whether you are working toward an Alaska Concealed Handgun Permit, checking out a new pistol, or building a deeper defensive skill set, each handgun class is a firearms training course designed to give you a clear path forward.
Rifle courses focus on building strong fundamentals first, then adding distance, precision, and context. You learn how to build stable shooting positions, manage recoil, read your optic, and make consistent hits from close ranges out to extended distances. Each rifle firearms training course is designed to help you understand your equipment and tighten your groups with purpose, not guesswork.
You can start with a basic class and then move into competitive, mid range, and long range training as your skills grow, or if you’re already experienced, join an advanced class.
Carbine courses are built around practical, flexible rifle platforms used for defense, patrol, and field work. In these classes you focus on safe handling, efficient gun manipulation, and accurate shooting at realistic carbine distances. As you progress, you add movement, positional shooting, and mid range problem solving so you can use the carbine with more confidence and control.
These courses pair well with our rifle track and give you a clear path from basic skills to more advanced designated marksman work.
Bear defense courses are designed for life in Alaska’s bear country. You can start with Bear Safety Foundations, a multimedia classroom session, and then step onto the range with Firearms for Bear Defense.
Together, these classes teach you how bears behave, how to avoid negative encounters, how to use pepper spray correctly, and how to choose and run a bear defense firearm with more control and confidence.
Accurate Advantage also offers self defense classes that focus on personal safety and less lethal tools. These courses help you build awareness, simple physical skills, and a practical safety plan you can use in everyday life, at home or on the go.
Specialized and Private Training
Alongside our core firearms training course lineup, Accurate Advantage offers several flexible ways to train that meet people where they are.
Youth Training gives young shooters a structured, age appropriate introduction to firearm safety and handling. The focus is on respect, safe habits, and clear fundamentals so curiosity is answered with real knowledge, not guesswork.
Ladies Courses offers women the option to learn in a women only setting, whether they are exploring less lethal self defense, building rifle skills, or working through a national personal safety seminar. The goal is simple: make it easier to focus, ask questions, and leave each class feeling more confident.
Private Training is ideal for students who want a customized experience. You can sight in a new rifle, work on accuracy problems, prepare for a hunt, or sample different firearms before you buy. Instruction is tailored to your goals so the time you spend on the range or in the classroom moves you forward.
