Sharpen Your Skills. Master Your Aim.

Expert Guidance Awaits

We are proud to be building a state-of-the-art training center in the heart of the Midwest, designed as a destination for families and responsible citizens from across the nation. Our mission is simple: to provide professional, accessible, and life-saving firearm education to the people who need it most.

Our largest client base is made up of everyday Americans seeking to learn the fundamentals of firearm safety. We believe that proper training for responsible citizens is not only essential, but the most important work we do.

As we continue to grow, we invite you to join us on an exciting journey. Construction is underway on multiple new additions, including an all-weather 40' x 60' pavilion that’s already complete. Soon, we’ll be adding more 25-yard pistol bays, 100-yard rifle bays, expanded outdoor training areas, and much more.

We’re also dedicated to equipping church safety teams, business groups, and community organizations with the skills and confidence needed to protect their people.

Explore our course schedule today and discover how you can enhance your proficiency, confidence, and safety with training you can trust.

Located in Northeastern Allen County, Indiana, we travel to your place of worship or employment and provide life-saving critical incident training.  Our private outdoor shooting range allows us to provide unmatched one-on-one personal instruction. 

Our Mission

Our mission is to educate honest American citizens, police officers, and military members in the proficient, responsible use of firearms - strengthening safety within our communities. Across the US, churches and organizations trust our programs to deliver hands-on critical-incident preparedness, active-threat (shooter) response training, de-escalation instruction, less-lethal options training, and civilian handgun qualification certifications. We are dedicated to providing  Americans with professional, life-saving training rooted in real-world experience and practical application.

Our Vision

We hold that a society that is armed responsibly is inherently a polite society. We have a passion for firearms training services to responsible citizens, with a focus on church safety teams and businesses.  Our instructors are NRA certified firearms instructors, have law enforcement special operations experience, and offer Indiana Law Enforcement Academy-Accredited training.  At Fries Consulting we are creating a partnership of church safety teams, the community, and local law enforcement. As proud partners with the Faith Based Security Network, we stand committed to equipping individuals and teams with the skills, confidence, and knowledge needed to protect what matters most.
