Apprentice Instructor Jeff H. led last night’s Live-Fire in Everett. He did a bang-up job resulting in a very educational and fun event. Our all-volunteer team is the best! Thank you Jeff!!

At last night’s Dry Practice event in Lynnwood, Chief Instructor Brandon focused us on “Shooting From Unconventional Positions.” For the event recap, a picture is worth 1000 Facebook words, so here’s 5000 words worth to enjoy. 👍

Join us in welcoming our newest club members who have completed the Beginner/New Member Workshop on Saturday. It was exciting to see these new members, consisting of both new and experienced shooters, committed to their personal defense.

Thank you to our all-volunteer staff, led by Chief Instructor Doreen and Chief RSO Elizabeth, for organizing another successful event.

Hi. Brandon here. I know so many people that carry a gun and go to the range occasionally but don’t actually train. Not here to hard sell you because you are a grown adult, but maybe you’ll also enjoy this compelling article. Your thoughts and comments are welcome.

Concealed Carry Training: Why Overconfident Carriers Fail Carrying a gun without real training can be deadly. Learn why concealed carry training is essential for safe self-defense.

We brought out the AR’s for week’s Live Fire event in Everett. Many of us don’t spend enough quality time with these carbines. I had a blast leading the group through a series of intermediate-level skills and drills. Back to handguns next time. Let us know if you wanna check ADTA out.
