Expectations and Outcomes

Course Overview

At the beginning of the course, students will shoot a baseline drill to assess their current marksmanship fundamentals. This drill will be repeated at the end of the course to evaluate progress and improvements made throughout the training.

By course completion, students are expected to demonstrate enhanced marksmanship skills and a stronger understanding of the core shooting fundamentals. In addition, students will meet the requirements for the Ohio Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit and leave with a clear understanding of what to focus on in their personal training moving forward.
