Why Homestead Students Take This Course
Homestead students have the range essentially in their back yard, which changes the calculus on a first class: there is no hour-long drive to talk yourself out of. If you have been meaning to do this for a year, the barrier is smaller here than anywhere else in the county.
Homestead is where the Homestead Training Center is — the outdoor range we hold our live-fire courses at — which means students here have essentially no drive at all to the training the rest of the county travels for.
South Dade is also its own environment — agricultural, spread out, with long response times in the parts furthest from town. That is precisely the situation our mission statement describes: when the police are minutes away, you are the first line of defense.
What the Course Covers
- The four universal safety rules, enforced from minute one
- How a firearm actually works, and how to load and unload it
- Clearing a malfunction
- Grip, stance, sight alignment, sight picture
- Trigger control — the skill that separates good shooters from the rest
- Dry practice until the motions stop requiring thought
- Live fire, close and slow, accuracy before speed
Where and When
Homestead Training Center · 4 hours (1 PM – 5 PM).
The range is right here in Homestead, which means local students can train often rather than once a year — and frequency is what actually builds skill.
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.
What to Bring
- Eye and ear protection (mandatory)
- Pants or shorts with a real belt (mandatory)
- Closed-toe shoes or boots — no sandals or crocs
- Your own firearm and ammunition — we do not rent firearms
- Water, hat, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent
- A shirt with a high neckline — hot brass is unforgiving
