Training
Classes

his class is designed specifically for new or prospective gun owners with little to no experience. If you’ve never handled a firearm before, this is the perfect place to start. Over the course of this 3-hour session, we’ll walk you through the basics in a relaxed, supportive environment. You’ll learn essential firearm safety, how to choose a handgun that fits you, the fundamentals of marksmanship, and proper loading and unloading procedures. We’ll also cover safe storage practices so you can confidently and responsibly keep a firearm in your home. There’s no pressure, no prior knowledge required, and plenty of time to ask questions along the way. The class concludes with a 50 round live-fire familiarization session, where our instructors provide step-by-step guidance and hands-on coaching to help you build confidence and feel comfortable behind the gun.

Choosing to carry a firearm for personal protection comes with significant responsibility. It requires sound judgment, proper training, and a thorough understanding of the law. The Outpost Armory TN Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit class provides a clear understanding of Tennessee laws related to the use of force, including when defensive force and deadly force may be legally justified. In addition to legal instruction, this course briefly covers fundamental firearm safety, safe storage practices, and the steps required to apply for and obtain your Tennessee Enhanced Carry Permit.

This course builds the foundational skills needed to effectively use a handgun for personal defense. As responsibly armed citizens, our goal is to develop core manipulations to a subconscious level so we can focus on what matters most: making sound decisions under stress. This 3-hour class begins with a classroom discussion on mindset and situational awareness, followed by a comprehensive live-fire range session. On the range, students will learn proper stance, grip, and ready positions, along with techniques for unsighted fire, firing multiple shots, and managing the balance between speed and precision. The course concludes with a discussion on everyday carry gear, giving students the knowledge needed to carry their firearm comfortably, confidently, and responsibly.

Pistol mounted optics, commonly referred to as red dots, have grown rapidly in popularity in recent years. While they offer significant advantages, there is a learning curve to using them effectively. If you have recently transitioned to a pistol mounted optic, you may find it difficult to consistently acquire the dot during presentation. This course is designed to solve that problem. In this 3-hour class, the primary focus is on building a consistent and reliable dot presentation. Students will also learn about optic selection, proper setup, basic maintenance, and zeroing procedures to ensure their equipment is properly configured and ready for use.

"I used the range last week at the new location, I brought my mother with me to try and get her to shoot. The range staff was very patient and helpful. Bud, one of the instructors explained several different firearms to us and suggested a few to try. He really helped my mom get over her nervousness and went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of, even helping me find a holster for my own pistol. Beautiful store and Outstanding range staff!"

"Great store, great indoor range, and FANTASTIC staff. I appreciate being able to use the 100-yard tubes anytime. I’ve also taken several classes already, and I love that I can practice holster draws indoors. They have a great selection of firearms to use when I want to try something new. Highly recommended "
