NRA-Certified & Tactical Defense Firearm Classes Designed For Individuals
Of All Ages & Experience Levels
Whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your skills, our firearm training programs provide expert instruction tailored to your needs.
We have redefined tactical training. Learn from professional instructors in a safe and dynamic environment. These aren't your typical gun classes.
Our NRA and TACTICAL DEFENSE courses will familiarize you with the correct operation and maintenance of semi-automatic pistols, revolvers, rifles & shotguns along with teaching you how to handle and shoot them safely. They are perfect for the new firearm owner needing to develop their skills and for other more advanced firearm enthusiasts interested in defensive or competitive firearm courses.
The core basics of firearm marksmanship are the lifelong building blocks for many other activities including hunting or pistol shooting sports. Our course prices include all learning materials, including books, targets, range time and are taught by experienced NRA Certified Instructors in a very relaxed environment setting.
Black Eagle Firearms instructors believe in a real life approach to training. It is not enough to learn how to shoot holes in paper. We believe that “perfect” practice makes perfect. So, we must train for real life. We are dedicated to providing a quality, safe, and professional training environment to every student. We can help any level of shooter from beginner to experienced. We offer training to civilians, private security, police, and many government agencies.
Our instructor staff is composed of individuals with the highest levels of training and operational experience in both military and law enforcement. We are not only trained in our methods and tactics, but in the teaching and presentation of those as well. Our staff training never ends and we regularly seek out continued training from firearms academies around the country. We have been privileged to learn from some of the world's best firearms tactics instructors. We strongly believe in the evolution of training. If the tactics do not work, find a better way; if there is a better way, learn it.

Tactical Defense Courses
Black Eagle Firearms offers a variety of tactical weapons course training for firearm operators of all levels of experience. With our tactical courses, gun owners and those with a concealed carry permit can continue their gun education beyond the NRA Basic Pistol Course. Black Eagle Firearms training courses provide a tactical advantage in real-world situations.
Our tactical carbine courses provide semi-automatic rifle users the skills required to become an exceptional shooter. We know that true threat mitigation and confrontation avoidance comes from human behavior pattern recognition, knowing how to defend oneself unarmed, situational awareness, and decision making under pressure.
Black Eagle Firearms teaches individuals the tools necessary to manipulate an environment based on a "human terrain" that is observable when you know what to look for. This course is ideal for anyone traveling to a high-risk area, law enforcement officials, first responders and even managers.

We are minimalists
We keep it simple. We build on basic training, and then if you wish we’ll get you to the next level, and another, and another. If you want to be an instructor, we can asst you in achieving those goals. Our Instructors are trained to and must perform at the quality, ethical, and professional standards of the NRA.
