Green Mountain Defense

Green Mountain Defense is a Mechanicsburg, PA-based training company with instructors who bring decades of combined shooting experience. Unlike one-size-fits-all courses, they specialize in customizing training to fit your actual needs—whether that's defensive carry, competitive shooting fundamentals, or teaching other instructors.

Green Mountain Defense runs everything from one-hour private sessions to multi-day instructor development courses. The philosophy is consistent across all programs: quality beats quantity. You'll work on fewer rounds but hit specific weaknesses instead of just burning ammunition.

Private Training Options: - Hourly blocks ($80/hour) - Tailor instruction to your specific needs, identify weak points, build dry fire practice plans - 5-lesson packages ($600, 25% off standard rate) - 10 hours spread over a year - 10-lesson packages ($1,000, $200 off standard rate) - Longer commitment for deeper skill development - Digital training ($25/hour) - Dry fire coaching via Zoom, Skype, or ACE virtual system - Gift certificates ($100) - Available for friends and family

Green Mountain Defense emphasizes dry fire efficiency and intelligent practice structure. Their multi-day courses include evening lectures on dry fire software, tools, and practice planning. The Tim Herron flagship course covers:

• •Shot calling and sight anchoring
• •Grip mechanics and hand placement
• •One-handed (SHO/WHO) shooting
• •Managing mental and emotional pressure
• •Stage visualization and self-talk
• •Entries, exits, and target transitions
• •Throttle control and performance evaluation

"Quality is much more important than quantity. We'll make every round count." - Their approach to round counts across all courses
