Fi Academy

FI Academy started from a simple observation: Hawaii's shooting community needed more than just firearms access—it needed education, confidence, and support. As an extension of Firearms International, this woman and family-owned academy built a space designed specifically to welcome newcomers, women, and experienced shooters alike.

Located at 1150 N Nimitz Hwy, Suite 5, Honolulu, HI 96817, FI Academy operates daily from 9am-5pm. They're open seven days a week, making it easy to schedule training around your life.
