A beginner class covering the fundamentals of handling a firearm, taught by certified instructors in our classroom at our Miami facility.

  • How to load and unload with dummy ammunition
  • How to use your sights and aim
  • How to grip the firearm and get into a proper shooting stance

Why train with us

A private range

Most ranges allow one shot every three seconds, standing still, with the gun on the podium in front of you. We reserve private ranges for our classes, so students can draw from concealment, move, shoot from cover and fire at speed.

Instructors who train instructors

Marcos Avellan and Kevin Perez are NRA Training Counselors — the instructors who certify other instructors. Our team has certified over 1,000 NRA instructors.

Built for beginners

We train law enforcement and military too, but most of our students had never touched a gun before their first class — men and women from 18 to 80 years old.

Classes

Twenty-five courses, from your first shots to advanced defensive training. Send us your details and we will email you the current schedule and prices.

★★★★★

What a great class! Marcos was thorough and clear in his instructions, funny and made everyone feel very comfortable. I've been wanting to take a shooting / weapon safety class for some time but truthfully was a little afraid. Marcos made all the difference and now feel very comfortable with a weapon. I highly recommend this class for women and anyone new to shooting.

I took the 14-hour Concealed Clinic Course at Miami Shooters Club, and it was an outstanding experience. The instructors were knowledgeable, professional, and patient, ensuring safety and real-world application at every step. The hands-on training and detailed guidance made a huge difference in building confidence and accuracy. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this course is worth every minute. Highly recommend!

I recently completed the NRA Basic Pistol Instructor Course with Octavio as the instructor, and it was an outstanding experience. Octavio is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about firearms safety and training. He presented the material in a clear, organized manner that made it easy to understand and apply.
