This 6-hour class focuses weapon safety, manipulation and the seven fundamentals of shooting and marksmanship (stance, grip, sight alignment, sight picture, breathing, trigger control, and follow through) that we have centered firearms training for federal agents around for the last 25 years. Other skills taught include reloading, basic weapon malfunctions, weapons care and maintenance. All of these skills are taught within the framework of real-world, tactical applications. Each student will get dedicated, one on one time with an instructor to work at their pace, without any pressure to "keep up, or fit in."

Required materials include eye protection, ear protection, a ball cap, a semi-automatic pistol with a strong-side holster, magazine pouch, three pistol magazines, 500 rounds of ammunition, and a positive attitude. These classes are conducted at an outdoor range, year-round, so dress accordingly.

This 6-hour class reviews the skills and techniques covered in the Basic Pistol class. New topics include speed at presentation, tactical reloads, draw from concealment, shooting on the move, moving targets, position shooting, cover -vs- concealment, shooting under stress...added stressors will be introduced while engaging targets, to simulate the stress on the body in a real-world gun fight.  Steel targets and competitions will be introduced to work on speed and accuracy. The basic pistol course is a requirement prior to attending this course.

This 6-hour class focuses weapon safety, rifle manipulation and the seven fundamentals of shooting and marksmanship (stance, grip, sight alignment, sight picture, breathing, trigger control, and follow through) that we have centered firearms training for federal agents around for the last 25 years. Other skills taught include reloading, multi optics systems, weapons malfunctions and clearing techniques, basic shooting positions, sling operation, and weapons care and maintenance. All of these skills are taught within the framework of real-world, tactical applications. Each student will get dedicated, one on one time with an instructor to work at their pace, without any pressure to "keep up, or fit in."

Students are required to provide the following materials:  eye protection, ear protection, a ball cap, rifle magazine pouches, a carbine rifle with sling and three rifle magazines, approximately 500 rounds of ammunition, and a positive attitude. These classes are conducted at an outdoor range, year-round, so dress accordingly.

This 6-hour class reviews the skills and techniques covered in the Basic rifle class. New topics include speed at presentation, tactical reloads, transitions from rifle to pistol, shooting on the move, moving targets, advanced position shooting, cover -vs- concealment, shooting under stress...added stressors will be introduced while engaging targets, to simulate the stress on the body in a real-world gun fight. Competitions will be introduced to work on speed and accuracy. The basic rifle course is a requirement prior to attending this course.

Students will fire approximately 500 rounds of rifle and 50 rounds of pistol and are required to provide the following items: eye protection, ear protection, a ball cap, a carbine rifle with sling and three rifle magazines, approximately 500 rounds of rifle ammunition, a pistol with a strong-side holster, pistol magazine pouch, three pistol magazines, 50 rounds of pistol ammunition, and a positive attitude.

This 6-hour, advanced course is built upon the foundations of the advanced pistol and rifle courses. Therefore, one of those courses is required prior to attending this course. This course includes new topics such as small unit tactics, team communication, structure clearing, exterior & interior team movement, room entry and room clearing techniques. Due to the nature of this training, all firearms will be provided by the Blue Lion training team.

There WILL NOT be any live weapons or ammunition during this training. All training will be conducted with the use of inert training guns, simunition weapons (paint guns), or air-soft weapons. We have learned over decades of training FBI agents and police officers in this environment, the learning curve increase dramatically with this type of training. Utilizing this force-on-force, scenario-based training pushes students to quickly employ critical thinking skills, while simultaneously deploying a weapon, to make quick, accurate shots. This simulates some of the stress of an actual confrontation with an attacker. This also allows us to teach students how that stress temporarily degrades the human bodies (physiologically) ability to react, ie... tunnel vision, auditory exclusion, reduced fine motor skills, etc., and the techniques you can use to overcome it.

Students are required to provide the following materials: eye protection, ear protection, a strong side holster, a pistol magazine pouch, and a positive attitude. These classes are conducted at an outdoor range, year-round, so dress accordingly.

This course is currently for Law Enforcement only

This 2-hour classroom training is designed to stand alone or can be paired with an additional 2-3 hour training block, in which the participants take an interactive role and actually engage the role-playing attacker to utilize techniques learned in the classroom portion of training. The role-playing attacker will wear a full Red Man (protective) Suit, which will allow for the most realistic training possible.

This 2 hour class is designed for civilians who have had no prior threat or active shooter training. It has also been used very successfully for corporate staff training and/or team building exercises.
This 2–5 hour training program is taught at your facility, to maximize your staffs understanding and ability to build skills that have been proven to help people survive dangerous, or life-threating situations. Course content includes a 2-hour, classroom presentation on topics like active shooter, the mind and body's reaction to a high-stress events and how to better prepare to survive those events. This course is instructed by Blue Lion Tactical Founder & CEO Scott Johnson. Prior to his retirement as a Special Agent, Scott taught similar civilian active shooter response courses for the FBI and has successfully trained hundreds of federal agents and police officers on active shooter response for law enforcement. Scott has had decades of experience in this subject matter. Experience includes, 3 combat deployments to Afghanistan with the FBI, a six-month combat tour to Mogadishu Somalia in 1993, as a US Army medevac helicopter pilot and the involvement in numerous shooting events while assigned as an FBI SWAT Operator and a member of the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT). In 2015, Scott played an instrumental role in the FBI's response and investigation in the active shooter event in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
