DEFENSE IS PERSONAL
At Heritage Training and Shooting Center in Frederick, MD, we provide a complete personal protection curriculum for the general public with a variety of courses, ranging from basic to advanced. Hands-on training with our experienced staff will begin in the classroom, proceed to our simulation training lab scenarios, and conclude with live-fire exercises. Our training courses are designed to teach practical down-to-earth techniques, train hands-on skill, and equip students with the physical and mental preparation to handle threatening situations.
Heritage Training and Shooting Center has created the most comprehensive defensive firearm training academy, teaching people of all experience levels the skills necessary for responsible, safe and effective use of firearms. Here, students with a desire to hone their personal protection and firearm skills can experience a defensive training program similar to qualification courses for law enforcement professionals.
The Academy is designed to cater to students of all skill levels, offering the opportunity for students to advance through the courses at their own pace. We also offer Advanced Individual Training. Students can better hone their firearm skills and techniques via one-on-one instruction in a Marksmanship Sim Lab session or reserved range time with one of our professional and qualified trainers.
