COURSES
Gray Zone Shooting Academy exists to provide high quality firearms training for U.S. citizens and First Responders. We believe in developing Shooters with solid fundamentals, who can execute said fundamentals cold and on demand. Our class sizes are intentionally kept small so the Student receives the most one-on-one instruction they can. At Gray Zone, you WILL NOT be student #14 of 25. Whether you are a concerned citizen looking to protect your home, a person who conceal carries, a member of a church Security/Safety Team, or you are just getting into firearms and want to become more familiar and confident with them, Gray Zone Shooting Academy can provide you with relevant and repeatable training.

INQUIRE ABOUT PRIVATE COURSESFoundational shooting tactics are rehearsed on a 50 yard range with 7 bays containing room for multiple targets each. The range is open, so obstacles and cover can be brought in to simulate diverse environments. Our shoot house is a multi-room staging platform setup for unique room searching scenarios, allowing students to learn and practice cover and concealment fundamentals, as well as threat discrimination and movement.

Developing and owning fundamentals you can call on during periods of extreme stress is what sets you up for success.
