Events
This is a list of all the scheduled competition and events we have at the range. Pre registration is not required. Just show up and get in on the fun. We have many "couples" that shoot together and this is a great "date night" to spend time together.
If you have never competed in any of the disciplines we have, come out and watch and see if it is something you would like to try.
Self Defense Outside The Home
(Pistolcraft 101)
Take the next step in the journey towards an armed and safe lifestyle
If you own a gun, you are exercising your right to keep arms.
This classes teaches you how to bear arms.
These days, personal defense is the #1 reason why people buy guns. A gun and a concealed carry license by themselves, however, doesn’t provide you any protection anymore than buying a guitar and some sheet music provides musical talent. This class covers the essentials of using a pistol to defend yourself as you live your everyday life.
We keep this three to four-hour class small (just eight students) in order to maximize the 1-1 training opportunities. The instruction is focused on helping you make the transition from being just a gun owner to someone who has the skills and confidence to defend what is most important in your life.
Self Defense
Gear Requirements
- A pistol (.380 ACP or larger caliber)
- At least two magazines for your pistol
- 200 rounds of FMJ practice ammo
- An Outside the Waistband (OWB) holster. If you do not have one, this holster fits most compact semi-automatic pistols and will do the job for this class. Please do not bring a Blackhawk Serpa or a soft nylon holster to class. If you have any questions about gear, email me at [email protected].
- A magazine pouch to store an extra magazine. If you do not have a magazine pouch, this model will expand to fit just about anything out there.
- Eye protection, ear protection
- Water, bug spray, sunscreen
This class is designed to show people how to make the transition from just have a piece of paper that says you MAY carry a defensive firearm with you to someone who has the skills and confidence to carry on a regular basis.
Topics covered will include:
- How to get your gun into the fight as fast as possible
- Safe use of a holster
- The use of a pistol as a defensive firearm
- Making the shot on-demand
- Advanced accuracy techniques
At the completion of this course, each student will understand how to keep their firearm concealed until it is needed.
They will also know how to quickly and efficiently deploy it in a safe manner should the need arise.
If there are any questions, please email me at [email protected].
Private Lessons By Shannon Smith
I’ll be coming back to Deep 50 in April for a couple classes. Weather should be great to jump start your skills for the season.
Private Lessons
April 4, 2025 (Friday)
Unique private class opportunity. Two students max. We’ll run 10-3 or so, but being private we’ll play it by ear. Also since private I will cater the course to you and whatever you’d like to work on. I can also fast track you through both the above two days. If you struggle with swingers for example we can work on that. Cost is $400 per person. I did not set this up on Praciscore so please contact me directly; call, text or email to register.
Contact me with any questions or issues with registering. (Registration will open January 27, 2025) Big thanks to Matt for allowing me to use his awesome facility. Hope to see you in a few months!

Competition Movement
April 6, 2025
Competition Movement class. This will focus on efficient movement in a competition environment. Max 4 students as it’s more dynamic and can’t really have a bunch of people moving at once. I still recommend 500 rounds + but this is generally less rounds as we’re not focused as much on shooting though there will still be plenty of it. Also 9:30 to 3:30 ish.
