Next Generation of Firearms Handling/Training

Fast and effective. Using a layer approach of SIRT Training Pistol/Bolt, Simmunitions and Live Fire (If needed). Want to move and handle weapons like a pro, SAFELY in a short period of time!

The difference between a novice and an expert is how they move, handle and manipulate the weapons they use. Ever seen the actors that blink every time they shoot? Every shooter watching does! Live fire on the range doesn’t provide the needed time or skills for the realistic scenes. Trainees will be provided SIRT Pistols and safety training for self practice off location.

Securi-Blanks are used for recoil, reloads, malfucntions and shooting/fight scenes practice. SIRT Bolts are used for Rifle Training. More info on SIRT
