Firearms Training
In the Classroom
At Hill Top Arms, we are passionate about instructing our students on safety, the shooting fundamentals, and the responsibilities associated with firearm ownership. We are dedicated to teaching not only the how, but also the why behind the techniques we use. While shooting is a fun sport, we understand that most of our students take training to develop the skills and knowledge to be able to safely protect themselves and their loved ones.
We offer a variety of classes, from informational seminars developed by USCCA, to purpose-built classes comprised of both classroom instruction and One-on-One live-fire instruction, to customizable AR-15 Build classes. Please visit our Courses page for more information on each class we offer.
On the Range
At Hill Top Arms, our training differs from most other training courses and instructors. We don’t throw 15 students on a firing line and shout “Go ahead, Shoot! You’re doing fine!” Our instructors are dedicated to teaching you the skills you need to operate a handgun safely and accurately. We believe that one-on-one individualized live-fire instruction is essential for establishing solid shooting fundamentals.
When you come for your live-fire session in any of our classes, a dedicated instructor is waiting for you. We start every class with dry-fire training to work on setting the fundamentals, which helps new shooters become comfortable with the mechanics of shooting, and gives your instructor time to help you develop proper shooting habits. If you are an experienced shooter already, this gives your instructor time to work on correcting any bad habits you may have developed over your shooting career. During live-fire, your instructor will continue to watch your fundamentals and make adjustments as needed.
Due to the one-on-one nature of all of our live-fire classes, seating is limited. Sign up early for the best selection of live-fire time slots!
Our Trainers
As trainers, we take a great deal of pride and satisfaction in our work in training you to the best of our ability. To ensure that we are always providing the best possible quality education, we regularly take training from other vetted instructors to improve our own skills, and to broaden the range of classes we offer. Our trainers are dedicated to your continued education after the class, as well, and are always happy to provide follow-up instruction, correction, and advice – up to the level of training we have provided you – for no additional cost, any time you’re in the range!
Private Classes
Many of our live-fire and seminar classes are available as private classes for corporate events, fellowship groups, friends, and families. Please Contact Us or call us at (717)749-5009 for pricing and scheduling.
