FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT

The One With The Gun® – Firearms Instructor Development course is built for professionals who are ready to lead from the front. This two-day program is designed to transform competent firearms instructors into confident, purpose-driven instructors who don’t just teach skills—they build warriors. It’s not about running a line and barking commands; it’s about influencing how officers think, shoot, and survive.

In this course, participants will be immersed in instructional methodology, adult learning theory, coaching techniques, and diagnostic shooting tools. We take a no-nonsense approach to instructor development—blending technical precision with real-world application to ensure that every graduate can deliver high-impact, mission-relevant training to their agency or academy. We’re here to develop you as an instructor, but you’re going to leave a better shooter as well.
