What experience levels do you work with?
All levels! It doesn’t matter if you have never held a gun before or you are working a job that requires you to carry a gun everyday.
Do you teach kids? What ages?
Yes! Just like working with adults, we can accommodate all skill levels. We start by covering the most important aspect: safety. Once we’ve established safety rules and good habits, we will cover fundamental marksmanship using the Smokeless Range simulator. While there is no lower age limit, we ask parents to use discretion based on their child’s level of maturity for this very serious subject. Parents will also be expected to take an active role in all youth classes.
Do you teach CCW classes?
Yes! We have Multi-State (Oregon/Utah) CCW classes twice a week. You can register for this class here, or schedule a private class if these times don’t work with your schedule.
Do you offer private instruction?
Absolutely! Most of our classes are built around private instruction for groups of 1-6 students. If you are looking for a private class with more than 6 students, please email us.
Do you sell guns?
Yes! Safe Pace is an FFL and can sell you a gun. We also buy used guns.
I got my CCW but I don’t know what kind of gun to get or how to carry it.
You are not alone! This is very common amongst new CCW holders. We can work together to find the perfect fit. We can demo different models and you can purchase directly from Safe Pace.
