Why Kendall Students Take This Course
A great many Kendall students taking this course have held a owned a firearm for years and never trained with it properly. There is no judgment in that — it is the norm. This is the course that turns ownership into actual capability.
Kendall is the closest major community to the Homestead Training Center — a straight run south on the Turnpike or US-1 — which makes it the easiest place in the county to actually get live-fire training done.
It is also largely families and long-term residents, and the questions we hear from Kendall are consistent: someone wants to protect the house, there are kids in it, and usually only one adult has ever handled a firearm.
What the Course Covers
- Drawing from the holster and from concealment
- Tactical reloads and speed reloads
- Clearing malfunctions under time pressure
- Shooting on the move
- Using cover and moving between positions
- Multiple-target transitions and accountability
- Shooting with a partner and communicating while you do it
Where and When
Homestead Training Center · 4 hours (1 PM – 5 PM).
From Kendall it is a short drive south — the shortest of any major community in the county. Give yourself margin: classes start on time and the safety briefing is not something you can join halfway through.
We train outdoors deliberately. An outdoor range lets us teach drawing from a holster, moving between positions, shooting from behind cover, and working after dark — almost no indoor range in Miami-Dade permits any of it. More about the range.
Bring your own firearm and ammunition — we do not rent firearms. If you have not bought one yet, call before you book and we will talk through what to look for.
