Purpose Driven Training

Most CCW courses teach marksmanship instead of survival. PPTG Instructors teach proven techniques from real world violent encounters, which increase your odds of surviving a lethal encounter. Be Safe-Make It Home!

Skill Builders

Skill Builders PPTG Courses when taken in sequence are designed to take an individual who has never fired a weapon from novice to proficient concealed carry holder. Don’t just train to shoot – Train to survive!

Judicious Use and Application of Force

Most CCW Courses only teach where you can carry and when it is justified to use deadly force but don’t prepare you for the aftermath and legal ramifications that follow. Training that is relevant in Law Enforcement and Military circles could land a civilian in serious trouble. eg; secure the weapon and render aid. See the big picture!
