Basic Firearm Safety
It is the opinion of the Fortress staff that everyone in the United States should experience lessons in firearm safety and gun handling. There are more firearms in the US then there are people, and we believe that even those who choose not to own firearms should understand the safety aspects, if for no other reason than someday they may find themselves in the presence of a gun which they may need to secure.

Fortress recommends the use of American made factory ammunition only! Foreign ammunition is often times dirty, smokey and lacking in quality control. Use of it can not only lead to stoppages but it absorbs valuable training time trying to repair dirty, non-functioning guns. We also do not allow the use of reloaded ammunition during our courses.
