UPCOMING TRAINING EVENTS-
Oct 4 Advanced Carry- Practical application of carrying your weapon, drawing from a holster, either concealed or open, engaging targets in a dynamic environment with barriers, barricades, vehicles, walls, shoot/no shoot, scenarios, and a lot more. This class requires a basic knowledge of the fundamentals of shooting, but when you leave you will be confident that if the situation ever arises, you have the ability to draw quick, shoot accurate, and eliminate the crazy threats of this world.
Oct 17 Basic pistol from 10 am to 2pm, covering all the fundamentals of shooting, operating, dis/assembly of your pistol, loading/ reloading, etc. building a solid foundation for new shooters or those who have never received official training before.
Oct 17 Following the Basic Pistol Course, Active Threat Response will begin at 3 pm and conclude around 6 pm. This class sharpens your situational awareness, builds an understanding of emergency medical first aid and application, ballistics of types of ammunition against various materials, and active shooter and bomb threat actions to take. We will then go to the range for some dynamic firing on the move, in and around vehicles, wall sections, and more. This is an extremely important class to bring your family to, as we build plans for what to do in an emergency crisis situation. The threat of violence is more present now than ever before and our number 1 goal at The Sawmill is to provide information to our society that will keep us all safe, aware, and ready for anything.

If you’re trying to get into the tactical competition game, this is the only place to train for it. You can work out at gyms, run on the streets and trails, and you can shoot at ranges, but this is the only place where you can do it all at the same time/ same location. We have 250 acres of opportunity, and on that 250 acres, we have 2 obstacle courses, 6 short bays, shoot house, 360 degree range, land nav points, rivers, ponds, 400 yard range with targets at unknown distances, and a 1400 yard known distance range. We have vehicles, busses, structures, and wall sections to allow for realistic training, not to mention weights, sandbags, climbing ropes, and obstacles/barricades to help you train up for the multitude of competitions that we host.
Public Range Days for October: 3, 10, 13, 21, 23, 31. Our open bays allow you to draw from holster, maneuver obstacles, shoot both steel and paper targets, mag reload drills, transition drills and more. Take advantage of the 1400 yard known distance range, 400 yard high angle unknown distance range, steel plate racks, dueling trees, and Texas stars!
We conduct a lot of private training here at The Sawmill so if you would like to take a class but it does not meet your schedule, give us a call and we can set something up tailored to meet your training needs.
