Full description and what we offer
Phalanx operates under the instruction of Dr. Leonard "Doc" Holifield, a state-certified firearms instructor with NRA certifications in pistol, rifle, and shotgun, plus RSO (Range Safety Officer) credentials. Training focuses on the reality that when seconds count, your training has to be automatic—no second-guessing.
The flagship offering breaks into two phases: online coursework plus range qualification. Students cover the core material that actually matters:
- •Deadly force law (Georgia codes 16-3-21 and 17-4-20)
- •Firearm safety rules and handling mechanics
- •Parts and operation (revolvers, semi-automatics, field stripping)
- •Shooting fundamentals (stance, grip, sight alignment, breath/fire control)
- •Ammunition selection and ballistics (trajectory, over-penetration, ricochet)
- •Storage and weapon retention
- •Holster and equipment selection
- •Range qualification requires scoring 80% on a silhouette target across 48 rounds at varying distances (10 yards, 7 yards, 5 yards, 3 yards) and shooting positions (two-hand, single-hand, supported, unsupported).
Cost: $249.99 (regularly $275). Includes range qualification. Bring two boxes of target ammunition or purchase at the range. Firearm rental available.
