Are you ready to take your firearms training to the next level? Have you wondered how you would respond to a threat while under pressure? Tactical Firearms Academy is offering Force on Force, Reality Based Tactical Training with live-action, reality-based scenarios. A truly unique learning  experience that will teach you to merge all your tactical knowledge into realistic scenarios that will put your skills to the test with a target that shoots back.  This is your chance to experience what until recently was only available to military and law enforcement operators.

 

This unique training system is engineered for safety and realism and will be held over two, 4 hour training days. Students will have the opportunity to use non-lethal Simunitions® firearms and ammunition that will create a realistic training environment during role playing scenarios.  TFA is a Simunition® sponsored school and all equipment will be provided. Participants must have successfully completed an entry level safety class and must possess a state issued Concealed Weapons Permit. If you do not meet these requirements, please contact us to schedule a safety class and/or a concealed weapons course.

 

For safety reasons NO live ammunition or weapons of any kind will be permitted in the classrooms or on the range during Simunition® classes

 

Duration: 1 – 8 hour day or 2 – 4 Hour evenings

 

Location: Varies – see Calendar for dates/times and locations

 

Course Fee: $200

Sadly, we have removed the refresher program from the Force on Force classes. The reasoning is for the cost of hosting the class to TFA. We supply leased location, all the equipment; ammunition, firearms and contracted role players, etc. Everything has a wear and tear/depreciation each class which makes the profit margins extremely slim on each class.
