Dry Fire Training

Cannot get to the range because of time restrictions?  Dry-Fire in the privacy of your own home.  Using your handgun/rifle/shotgun, REMOVE ALL AMMUNITION from the room where you will be conducting your dry-fire training, CLEAR YOUR HANDGUN AGAIN!  Double check your firearm and magazines are not loaded!
If you have snap-caps, use them inside your magazine, if you have a laser insert those work as well, for those who have been able to purchase a SIRT gun or SIRT bolt, these are good options as well, especially if you are able to find a SIRT gun modeled after your current model of handgun.

Using the fundamental drills of sight alignment, grip, breathing, trigger press, draw from sitting on the couch, a chair, pick a light switch (or place target on the wall) .  To start in a seated position follow through with all 5 stages of drawing as well, grip, pull,  pivot muzzle, meet with support hand as well as follow through towards target.
Using fundamentals, press trigger when sight alignment to target has been reached. Notice any flinching or moving of the muzzle during this process?

You may start in any position, standing, sitting, walking, etc. when doing this fundamental drill, the idea is to create a neural pathway (muscle memory) so if you were in a live situation, you have an idea of what is realistic in our own home.  Training is training, whether it is on the range or in your home.

WHEN COMPLETED!!

Clear your firearm one more time and leave training area.  Re-introduce ammunition if you choose to carry your firearm in your home.
You may contact us for any training topics you wish to discuss or to learn.

Carry one in the Chamber? If not, you could be setting yourself up for disaster!

 Have you ever put the seatbelt on during an accident?  Well, that would be the case of having a full magazine with no round in the chamber.  How do you get used to carrying a firearm?  Well, for one, you can start by carrying one on you in the comfort of your own home, getting used to sitting, walking, using the restroom, etc.   Carry it on your person as if you were in public, careful not to bring attention to it by touching it all the time, adjusting your pants, etc.   Conceal it the best way you can, and find the right tools to do so by looking at comfortable, sturdy options, a leather-backed holster with Kydex formed to fit your firearm brings you all-day comfort.  I chose Crossbreed Holsters for my main concealed carry holster option.   I also use other types of holsters for how I dress. There are good options out there, but finding one for your needs is a task for you and you alone. I, nor anyone else can tell you what works best for you and eventually, you will have a drawer o

Where do we start you off?  If you tell me you have been shooting and have taken classes before, we ask which ones and which affiliation have you taken them from. NRA? USCCA? Brand X, or BIG BOX INDOOR RANGE PLACE?  I have typically 2 basic courses for anyone to start out at, even as a refresher for those who have been shooting and taught by a friend or family member, trust me, you will learn something here that they could not have taught you unless they took a class with us and remembered everything we teach, or they themselves have been a firearms instructor and know what I know.  I have been to many instructors/schools/training facilities and know what they do not teach.  -prices shown are at the time of this article, prices may have increased due to rising costs- Pistol Fundamentals, or Women's Pistol Fundamentals-  $175 6-hour course 1) Safety Rules, 2) Handgun Anatomy 3) Action Types 4) Ammunition types/storage 5) Sight Alignment 6) Trigger Cycle 7) Gear & Gadgets 8) Rang

  House of Worship Training How is your House of Worship Team's Health? Are they trained to do more than look for an active shooter?  Where is the focus on the security for your congregation, youth groups, and leaders? Do they do ongoing training with a Certified Instructor?  Do you have enough Volunteers for your Greeter/Usher/Security Team? Do you have armed security?  Have they qualified with a Firearms Instructor for Insurance Purposes? Are they Insured in the event they need to use their firearm?  Personally Insured or does the House of Worship Insurance Cover these volunteers?  At Shamar's Shield, a division of Gunpowder & Lead Firearms Training, we help re-establish the Greeter/Security/Usher Team, and make it manageable.  We offer a few programs.  1) Ongoing Training for 1 year, including 4 In-person HOW training, 26 Zoom meetings for your team to train on subjects, 2 days at the range and 2 days in the HOW for Reality-Based Training utilizing SIRT (inert weapons),
