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 2nd and 4th 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.
