Ask Defensive Training CO

Hanson Precision Guns and Ammo operates on three core pillars: Attitude (teaching by example), Skills (trained professionals), and Knowledge (survival-focused instruction). Since opening over two decades ago, they've built out a complete firearms ecosystem—classroom training, retail shop, and ammunition/reloading supplies all in one location.

The training menu is extensive and progressive. You can build skills step-by-step or jump into specialized courses depending on your background.

Over 22 years in the industry. Family-owned operation combining retail sales with hands-on training. The progression system—Basic to Advanced to Specialty courses—lets shooters build methodically rather than jumping in over their head. Instructors are trained professionals, not just salespeople. They emphasize data-driven precision (ballistic software, weather stations, data books) in long-range courses. And reloading instruction gives you the practical skills to lower cost-per-round for serious practice.
