One instructor for every two students, providing substantially more individual coaching, supervision, and feedback than a large-format class.
Experienced Instructors
Training is conducted by experienced instructors with backgrounds that include military service, law enforcement, civilian firearms instruction, and advanced firearms training.
Practical Firearms Training
Students receive practical firearms instruction designed to develop safe handling, proper technique, accuracy, and confidence - not simply classroom instruction.
Small Class Sizes
Classes are generally capped at eight students, allowing instructors to spend more time working directly with each participant.
Important: Cobra Tactical provides firearms training, not legal advice. CCW application, fingerprinting, documentation, fees, timing, and renewal requirements are controlled by the issuing agency and applicable law.
