Patriot Training

Patriot Training is a civilian firearms training academy that takes your shooting skills beyond the basics. They've trained over 2,000 alumni and work with civilians, military, law enforcement, and everyone in between.

• •Rifle - The core focus. Patriot Training specializes in turning Americans into riflemen. Whether you're picking up an AR-15 for the first time or have military background, they fill gaps and build competency.

• •Pistol - Daily carry defense training. They teach handgun skills for self-defense and as a backup to rifle systems.

• •Shotgun - Home defense fundamentals. They debunk the myth that shotguns don't need aiming or training, teaching efficient and effective shotgun use.

• •Medical - Trauma response training. Their philosophy: if you prepare to shoot, prepare to stop the bleeding. Rapid blood loss is the most preventable cause of death.

"Scientifically grounded, constantly refined, language-precise, free of ego, and focused on truth over tradition."

They value humility, continuous improvement, and respect. Classes range from beginner handgun and marksmanship to advanced tactical carbine, precision rifle, and specialized team courses.

They run classes year-round including: - One-day skill builders and marksmanship - Two-day tactical carbine and precision rifle courses - Scoped rifle mastery classes - Pistol classes for everyday carry and self-defense - Trauma medical courses (3-hour and 2-day options) - Team tactical classes

Classes are held at Mountain Top Gun & Archery Range in McMinnville, Tennessee (11564 Harrison Ferry Rd).
