skill builder

Indy Arms provides a great way to build you skills with handguns without breaking the bank; bi-monthly Classroom/live fire skill builders!  Each 1.5 hour session will focus on a specific hand gun skill taught by an Indy Arms instructor.  Each skill builder is focused on a specific defensive/tactical/ accuracy skill set.  Skill Builders will be taught on the range using dry and live fire practice for a cost of $25.00. Students should bring required gear (see specific skill builders) and price does NOT include ammo.  Skill Builders are on the 2^nd and 4^th Wednesday of each month from 7pm-8:30pm (Starting in May, 2018).

Participation will be tracked and certificates will be awarded for successful completion of multiple Skill Builder sessions:  Attend any 6 or more different Skill Builders for a Certificate of Achievement, 9 or more for a Certificate of Distinction, and attend 12 or more for a Certificate of Mastery.

Most Skill Builders will be practiced from low ready; however, a reliable outside the waistband (OWB) holster is suggested for all skill builders.
