Carrying a Concealed Weapon
Our CCW courses are classroom only. There won’t be any firearms handling but you’ll be instructed with everything you’ll need to know to apply for a Wisconsin CCW permit. Concealed carry classes at Shooters Sports Center are taught by one of our training instructors and are based on the Wisconsin DOJ-recommended CCW program with a focus on critical thinking and the use of lethal force. We focus on proper firearm safety, rules of engagement, and non-lethal alternatives like Tasers and Pepper Spray.
Our CCW instructors have over 80 years combined experience in law enforcement and in the military, along with over 7 years of experience as NRA-certified instructors. This class will be available at least twice a month on Wednesdays from 630pm – 9pm. Our instructors help you through each step from finding a holster to selecting the best handgun for concealed carry.
Intro to Handgun Shooting
The Intro to Firearms class is geared around the novice handgun owner who needs an orientation into safe firearms handling as well as exposure to the five fundamentals of handgun shooting. During the class, participants will be explained the difference between centerfire, rimfire, and shotshell firearms as well as the concepts of sight picture & alignment, trigger squeeze, breath control, arc of movement, and follow-through.

TAB-K: Basic Rules for Firearm Safety
The TAB-K formula, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, is an effective way to remember the most important safety checks when handling a weapon. TAB-K stands for:
T - Treat every firearm as if it is loaded.
A - Always point the muzzle in a safe direction.
B - Be certain of your target, both before and beyond it.
K - Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until you’re ready to shoot.
It’s important to note that these are not the only things to consider when safely handling a firearm, but they are an effective starting point when trying to remember the most important rules to follow.
