CHL Classes

Strong Point Tactical offers a more private approach to CHL Courses. We understand that you may not feel comfortable attending a class with people you don’t know.  We offer a small classroom environment up to 3 students at a time, Individual instruction, or groups of family and friends that want to get their CHL together.

We do not consider ourselves to be your ordinary CHL classes you find in the area. We take a good portion of what would be traditionally classroom time and we transfer it to practical application at the range. We find that this helps the student in the event they are faced with a with a real world threat.
