Armed with Education 2 (AWE 2)

From firearm safety and marksmanship fundamentals to defensive concepts and concealed carry education, AWE 1 helps students establish a strong foundation in a supportive training environment.
All classes remain the same trusted curriculum our students already know, now bundled together for added value and convenience, with approximately $50 in savings versus individual class pricing.

This package provides both structured skill development and individualized instruction. It includes:

- A 1-hour private lesson (Reg $75.00)
Students will work through defensive shooting concepts, movement, decision-making, and practical application in the classroom and on the range, while the included private lesson gives instructors the opportunity to focus directly on the student’s unique goals, experience level, and areas for improvement.
