360 Tactical teaches first-time shooter class for Homestead, Florida. Our Introductory Course, built for people who have never fired a gun. Four hours at our outdoor Homestead range, $175 per person. It starts with safety and how a firearm works — with no live ammunition present — then fundamentals, then supervised live fire with an instructor beside you. Training runs at our outdoor Homestead range — right here in town. Call 786-314-0471 to get on the next session.
Why Homestead Students Take This Course
Homestead students have the range essentially in their back yard, which changes the calculus on a first class: there is no hour-long drive to talk yourself out of. If you have been meaning to do this for a year, the barrier is smaller here than anywhere else in the county.
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
- The four universal safety rules, enforced from minute one
- How a firearm actually works, and how to load and unload it
- Clearing a malfunction
- Grip, stance, sight alignment, sight picture
- Trigger control — the skill that separates good shooters from the rest
- Dry practice until the motions stop requiring thought
- Live fire, close and slow, accuracy before speed
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.
What to Bring
- Eye and ear protection (mandatory)
- Pants or shorts with a real belt (mandatory)
- Closed-toe shoes or boots — no sandals or crocs
- A firearm and ammunition if you own one; tell us if you do not
- Water, hat, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent
- A shirt with a high neckline — hot brass is unforgiving
