Description of classes

We offer classes for individuals as well as groups. The description of classes for both are as follows:

Groups

Our standard five day military class has always focused on the handgun with the shotgun or submachine gun as secondary program. Recently we have added a CQB Rifle Class program taught concurrently with our handgun class that teaches the same high speed fundamentals. We instruct the handgun every day from 0900 to 1630 hours. We instruct the secondary weapon, shotgun, sub-gun, or carbine from 1630 to 1800 hours. The students are tested each day to plot progress. On the fourth day of the program we include a night shoot that starts at dusk and continues for another two hours. Our program starts with a mandatory lecture and a safety briefing on Sunday evening at 1930 hours and ends the following Friday at 1200 hours. In our standard military group class each student shoots about 2500 rounds of handgun ammo. The optional shotgun program requires 500 rounds. The Shotgun ammo is divided up with 400 rounds of bird or target loads and 100 rounds of 00 Buck. If the secondary weapon is a carbine or rifle, 800 rounds of 9MM ammo are also required. See our page on Rifle Class for further information. We also offer a three day stand alone rifle-carbine program that incorporates both our close quarters reactive target range with our long distance reactive target range. Our long distance rifle targets will handle standard ball ammo but the green tip ammo has proved to be destructive.

The above described class can be modified to suit the desires of the contracting group. We have the ability to teach Trap, Skeet, or Sporting Clays for shotgun enthusiasts. We have designed handgun courses that put emphasis on the shotgun, including a half day program of a course we developed called "Combat Clays" We have designed classes for sales groups that emphasized their products and how to sell those products with the shooting program as a secondary focus. We have developed courses that included a half day of white water rafting or canoeing as well as a shooting program. We can supply handguns, shotguns, ammunition and all other necessary equipment including eye and ear protection and holsters for an entire group. We can successfully teach a group that has never seen a firearm before or the most advanced group of a special military unit.

Individuals

For individuals we offer two classes: Basic and Intermediate/Advanced, as follows:

Basic Handgun

Is for those persons, 12 years old or older who have little or no experience with a handgun or experienced shooters who want a solid foundation before taking other Rogers shooting classes. Minors must have parents or a guardian present for the course. The course covers weapon safety, maintenance, concealed carry, tactics, holster techniques and of course shooting skills. The students will shoot both revolvers and semi-autos supplied by the school. They will do extensive shooting with one as well as two hands and will be taught flash light and night shooting techniques. The students will shoot in excess of 2500 rounds of handgun ammunition, supplied by the school. The class starts at 7:30 PM on a Sunday night with a mandatory lecture and safety briefing and ends the following Friday at 12:00 Noon. The school supplies all the necessary equipment except a belt. The students should bring appropriate clothing for the season, comfortable shoes and a sturdy, well fitting belt. Please visit our page titled Dates/Signup for available dates.

Intermediate/Advanced

Is for those who are experienced handgun shooters but have never been to the Rogers Shooting School. To qualify to take the Intermediate course a student must already possess the skill to be able to draw a center fire handgun from a concealed carry position or a duty type holster and reliably hit a man sized target at 10 yards in less than 1.5 seconds. The Intermediate class is also recommended for those former Rogers students that have not achieved an Advanced rating. In the last two years the Intermediate program has been the same as the Advanced program and the two classes have been mixed, achieving excellent results. An optional combat shotgun course or an urban carbine class is available every afternoon. The students are responsible for all of their shooting equipment and ammunition although arrangements for supply can be made through the school. Loaner school shoulder weapons are available for those who opt for the optional shotgun or carbine instruction. Each student will shoot approximately 2500 rounds of handgun ammunition and at least 500 rounds of shotgun ammunition if the optional shotgun program is taken.Approximately 800 rounds will be required for the optional carbine class. See the Rifle Class page for further information. The class starts at 7:30 PM on a Sunday night with a mandatory lecture and safety briefing and ends the following Friday at 12:00 Noon.
