What qualifies SLMOSF to provide firearms training and couldn’t the same opportunities be found in the military?
Much to our surprise, the military academies, ROTC and OCS provide very little shooting opportunities. When they do get to shoot, it is done in large groups with little chance for individual instruction. Initially, the prospective officer just needs to meet the bare minimum score for qualification during their first year of the academies. Unless they are fortunate enough to join a shooting team or spend a summer training cycle with a combat unit…that initial shoot may be their only live fire experience before earning their commission. More often than not, their first and only pistol experience is with us until well after graduation. We conduct individualized basic to advanced firearms training throughout all stages of their career and provide the chance for officers from different services to compare what they’ve learned. Our shooters receive training years ahead of their classmates. Since most of our trainees choose combat specialties, this enhanced training increases their mission ef
