Why Train With NSFT

At NSFT we focus on adult, new and newer shooters who are looking to gain confidence, exposure and knowledge to safely handle and shoot a firearm. Our training is stress-free and controlled to help foster a confident learning environment.  

Like many Americans, and rightly so, you might be thinking about personal defense a lot more these days.


Maybe you are brand new to shooting. Maybe you've already taken a concealed carry class to get your CCW permit but need a refresher course. Or, maybe you'd feel more comfortable learning about firearms before buying one. Whatever your reason, the NSFT training classes give you the tools you need. 


Our classes are taught by our USCCA Certified / NRA Certified pistol and Range Safety Officer, instructors.

Successful completion of our class and live-fire, students will receive a Conceal Carry Course completion certificate, which satisfies the requirement  for the "Acceptable Firearms Training"  that the state of Florida requires, to apply for your Concealed Weapons License (CWL)


 The Conceal Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals class provides a hands-on introduction to the safe handling and proper orientation of a firearm. This 4 hour course includes classroom education and live-fire range time.
