Fundamentals
The handgun is a first-choice for those who desire protection for themselves and their family. Handguns are popular because they’re portable, concealable, and easy to handle in a crisis. Shooters must establish a solid foundation of fundamental skills to support the effective use of a handgun.
- For beginners who have never held or shot a firearm
- For those who own a gun, but have never had any formal training
- For experienced shooters who want to shore up fundamental skills


Advanced Training
EDR provides a variety of advanced handgun training opportunities! All of us know that skill-at-arms is not a one-day class, it’s a long term commitment to acquiring & practicing skills to keep them functional. Here’s how it works…we train you and you practice what you learned on your own time – that is how you elevate your capabilities. We provide a variety of advanced training that enables you to train and exercise at your level while engaging in dynamic, challenging, and realistic shooting activities.
Nobody Left Behind
EDR excels in working with first-time shooters, females, elderly, youths, and disabled shooters. We adjust on the fly to accommodate the needs of our clients and permit them to train at their level. Most trainees are 18yrs or older, however we do permit minors to train if they have the permission and supervision of their parent/guardian and they prove responsible in handling a firearm. We also train entire families together, which makes a lot of sense in these times!
