Our Intermediate Course requires the Introductory Course first; the Advanced Course requires both. Training runs at our outdoor Homestead range — right here in town.

Why Homestead Students Take This Course

Being twenty minutes from the range means Homestead students can treat defensive pistol as something they repeat rather than something they did once. That is the entire difference between people who stay sharp and people who took a class in 2019.

Homestead is where our outdoor live-fire range is, which means students here have essentially no drive at all to the training the rest of the county travels for.

South Dade is also its own environment — agricultural, spread out, with long response times in the parts furthest from town. That is precisely the situation our mission statement describes: when the police are minutes away, you are the first line of defense.

What the Course Covers

  • Drawing from the holster and from concealment
  • Tactical reloads and speed reloads
  • Clearing malfunctions under time pressure
  • Shooting on the move
  • Using cover and moving between positions
  • Multiple-target transitions and accountability
  • Shooting with a partner and communicating while you do it

Where and When

Our outdoor Homestead range · 4 hours (1 PM – 5 PM).

The range is right here in Homestead, which means local students can train often rather than once a year — and frequency is what actually builds skill.

We train outdoors deliberately. An outdoor range lets us teach drawing from a holster, moving between positions, shooting from behind cover, and working after dark — almost no indoor range in Miami-Dade permits any of it. More about the range.
