Skill Builder

Indy Arms is currently not offering these courses in our regular schedule of classes. Any of the skill builders are available for private instruction or as a private class (four or more students) with a senior instructor. Contact training@indyarms.com if interested

All Skill Builders are ~2 Hour classes for $25.00. Although skill builders are open to any students with minimal safe handgun handling skills, some skill builders obviously work on more advanced skills.

Indy Arms provides a great way to build your skills with handguns without breaking the bank; bi-monthly Classroom/live fire skill builders! Each 1.5 hour session will focus on a small group of hand gun skill taught by an Indy Arms senior instructor. Each skill builder is focused on a specific defensive/tactical/ accuracy skill set. Skill Builders will be taught on the range using dry and live fire practice for a cost of $25.00. Students should bring required gear (see specific skill builders) and price does NOT include ammo. Skill Builders are on the 2^nd (Basic) and 4^th (Advanced) Wednesday of each month from 7pm-9:00pm.

Participation will be tracked each year and certificates will be awarded for successful completion of multiple Skill Builder sessions at the end of each year: Attend any 6 or more different Skill Builders for a Certificate of Distinction, and attend 9 or more for a Certificate of Mastery.

Most Skill Builders will be practiced from low ready; however, a reliable outside the waistband (OWB) holster can be used for any skill builders.
