Our approach

At TPFT, we pride ourselves on offering a unique approach to firearms and tactical instruction that sets us apart from traditional combat-focused programs. Our school is dedicated to empowering individuals from beginner to expert levels with the knowledge and skills necessary to handle firearms safely and effectively in real-world scenarios.

Unlike other programs that may prioritize combat training and tactical maneuvers, our emphasis lies in practical applications for everyday gun owners and enthusiasts. We recognize that not everyone seeks firearms training for combat purposes; many individuals simply want to enhance their marksmanship skills for personal defense, recreational shooting, or hunting.

Our curriculum is carefully crafted to provide comprehensive instruction in firearm safety, home defense strategies, and practical tools that are relevant to the needs of everyday gun owners. Whether you're a novice learning to handle a firearm for the first time or an experienced shooter looking to master advanced techniques, our courses cater to individuals of all skill levels.

One key aspect that sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to safety. Before delving into marksmanship training, all students undergo thorough instruction in firearm safety protocols to ensure a secure learning environment. We believe that safety is paramount, and our instructors are dedicated to instilling responsible gun-handling habits in every student.

Furthermore, our curriculum goes beyond basic marksmanship skills to encompass a range of practical topics such as situational awareness, legal considerations, and ethical decision-making in self-defense scenarios. We understand that owning a firearm is a serious responsibility, and our goal is to equip our students with the knowledge and confidence to make informed choices in any situation.

Whether you're seeking to enhance your skills for personal defense, recreational shooting, or professional development, Tactical and Practical Firearms Training is committed to providing the highest quality instruction tailored to your individual needs.
