Core Values
The mission of At Arms Reach is to help clients adopt a defensive mindset, develop essential skills, and integrate them into their daily lives. We don't just teach you how to shoot, we help you to develop the critical thinking skills necessary to survive a deadly encounter.
You bought a gun … Now what?
Most people go through an arc of emotions leading up to buying a gun and that leads to questions post purchase:
How much experience do I really have shooting a pistol?
Can I make good judgements under stress?
Can I make good shots under stress?
Are there any options available to me besides a gun?
What are the laws in my state governing self-defense?
What happens if I shoot someone inside my home?
What about if it’s outside my home, like on the streets?
What kind of legal trouble is there when getting into these situations?
Am I ready?
Classes with At Arms Reach will help answer all of those questions and more. Our interest is to educate and train the average person to become more proficient with their self-defense tools, and to firmly have a layman’s understanding of the legal limits of self-defense. We teach you useful skills without pressure and judgement, and to come away having been pressure tested to expand your abilities under stress. All of this is done in a safe, inviting, and fun environment. Classes are about you, not us. We meet you where you are in your training and give our best to bring you along to where you want to be.
“Carry your gun. It’s a lighter burden than regret.”
