Action Target and Team One Network have formed a partnership creating newly designed courses to improve the knowledge of Range Masters, Firearms Instructors, Shoot House Instructors and Range Safety Officers. These updated courses will inform and instruct attendees of new technology in modern range, target design and training tactics.
This course will provide a series of dynamic training exercises that will help you improve your live fire-training program. We will be incorporating a variety of target options that provide a pathway to improve the skills of your students. In law enforcement communities around the world, we know that realistic training is the key to giving students the experience necessary to prevail in stressful situations. The course will offer some of our ideas on the use of a variety of targets in creating a building block approach to realistic training during live fire exercises.
The Range Safety Officer program was developed in response to the demand for a nationally recognized range safety officer certification. Range Safety Officers are people who possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, conducting, and supervising safe shooting activities and range operations.
Chief Range Safety Officers are people who possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, conducting, and supervising safe shooting activities and range operations.

The Range Master has overall charge of the range. This position usually occupied by the most experienced Firearms Instructor. This course will further develop the Firearms Instructors’ knowledge in order to become a Range Master by expanding their skills in the safe and efficient management of a firearms range and training program.
Shoot house training provides officers with the ability to hone their shooting skills under realistic, high-stress conditions. This course offers instructors all the tools necessary to build a shoot house program and improve their fellow officers’ shooting skills.
This concept is the underlying theory behind steel targets. For every shot that is on target, you get instant feedback from seeing the target react and hearing that satisfying “clang” as the bullet makes impact. While steel targets are a fantastic training tool, they add a level of safety considerations beyond traditional target shooting. Therefore, you have to consider what is behind the target as well as what could potentially be hit in the area the bullet is being redirected to. If that redirection is improper or inconsistent, it can pose a significant risk. This course will cover the many different types of steel targets and their proper and safe use.
