Wolfbee

Wolfbee runs live fire pistol classes in Chicagoland designed around one principle: you get better at shooting by actually shooting. Their four-hour sessions are completely focused on student trigger time—not instructor demonstrations or standing in line waiting your turn. You'll fire 300-400 rounds per class and get hundreds of repetitions with the skills being taught.

Landon started Wolfbee as a regular shooter who carries a gun daily for self-defense—not as a military vet, LEO, or security contractor. He approaches firearms training like a craft to be perfected. Building shooting skill requires the same dedicated practice that develops any virtue: you don't learn theoretical marksmanship, you learn through doing.

Their training focuses on real-world fundamentals that apply to everyday self-defense, not combat tactics, tactical fads, or hypothetical apocalypse scenarios. The goal is building habits and confidence that work when you need them.

Classes run Saturday mornings (9am–1pm) at Article II range in Lombard, IL. Wolfbee schedules around students' availability—email them if the listed schedule doesn't fit your timeline.

"I've already gotten better at shooting in 10 minutes of training with you." — Fr. Josh Miller

Wolfbee started as a failed drawing but became something bigger. The creature embodies the qualities Wolfbee training cultivates: the ferocity and tenacity of a wolf combined with the endurance and virtue of a bee. It's a mascot for what shooters should become—proficient, competent, and disciplined.
