Got Questions?
We've got answers. Here's what first-timers usually ask.
Will we use live ammunition during this course?
No. The New Shooter Accelerator is conducted in a controlled classroom environment, and no live ammunition is permitted. Students practice safe firearm handling and marksmanship fundamentals using a laser-training system.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. Because this is a classroom-based course using dry-fire laser-training equipment, no specialized range clothing is required.
How many people are in each class?
We limit each class to 20 students to provide personal instruction and plenty of time to practice
Can I bring someone under 21?
A parent or legal guardian may register a minor they believe is ready for the course. Every student must be registered in advance and have their own reserved seat.
Do I need previous firearms experience?
No. This course is designed specifically for beginners, including people who have never handled a firearm before.
What training equipment will we use?
Students practice with the Mantis TitanX laser-training system. It provides immediate feedback, shot analysis, scoring, and help identifying common errors—all without live ammunition.
What happens after I complete the course?
After building your foundation in the New Shooter Accelerator, you can continue into New Shooter Live Fire Fundamentals and begin applying your skills on the range.
