Vets 250 Pistol Class

Registration will open January 10, 2025 at 5pm MST

Gunsite is proud to once again offer a free Veteran’s 250 Pistol to veterans of the current wars (1998 – Present), who have deployed overseas. As our owner is a USMC Veteran and many of our staff are veterans, we have great appreciation for veterans of all wars.  However, our budget can only allow this opportunity for those who have served overseas of the recent wars.

This class is “The Gunsite Experience” and was first presented in October 1976 by Colonel Jeff Cooper. Regardless of your age, gender or experience, completing the 250 Class will change your life!  You will be well grounded in the ‘Modern Technique of the Pistol’, including marksmanship, gun handling and mindset.

The 250 includes five solid days of range work, lectures, low light/night shooting with flashlight techniques and intensive indoor and outdoor live fire simulators. Red dot sights are welcome. Completion of the 250 course is a prerequisite for many other courses as this is where our core doctrinal principles are ingrained.

Veterans may enroll for one (1) of the two (2) courses.   If you have completed one (1) Vets class in a previous year, you may now apply for the other course.

I mentioned to a friend of mine, who happens to be a “Master” USPSA and IDPA shooter, that I was thinking about taking a Gunsite class taught by Steve Tarani. He said, “Whenever you get a chance to take a class with Steve, take it”! So, with that...

About Gunsite

Gunsite offers firearm training to elite military personnel, law enforcement officers and free citizens of the US. We knowledgeable Americans take our rights very seriously, and the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States guarantees each citizen the right to keep and bear arms. However, with each right comes an equal responsibility to discharge that right effectively, legally, safely and within the bounds of morality. Rights demand responsibility. Owning a piano does not make one a pianist any more than owning a handgun makes one a good shooter. Only an effective, safe and authoritative program of study can guarantee that in a moment of danger YOU will act to protect yourself, your loved ones or the ones you are sworn to with self defense firearms training skills.

Testimonials

Best Range Day Ever!

Of all the Pistol Range Days I’ve attended, I think that this one was the best. It was very challenging, but everything began with the basics and worked “up” from there.. The drills were consistently challenging, increased in complexity, without compromising safety. The staff was exceptional, and every one of their suggestions paid off. KudosRead More »
