| Who We Are
Atlanta Firearms Training is a locally owned and operated training company founded by two airline pilots who are long time shooters and combat pistol competitors. We are NRA Certified Instructors for pistol, rifle, and shotgun. We also contract with highly skilled firearms instructors to assist us to provide the very highest levels of firearms training in basic and advanced pistol, rifle, and shotgun skills. For a more detailed description of our company please go to our "About" page. For biographies of our instructors go to our "Instructor" page.
We got our start after repeated requests for personal training. In considering these requests, we discovered a need in the Atlanta Metro Area for high quality, professional firearms training emphasizing personal attention and high levels of customer service and so founded our company with the goal of outserving other training providers in the Atlanta area.
We offer classes over the weekend but are available for private instruction by prior appointment weekends and week days.

Re: March 2011 Long Range Precision Rifle Course:
I've been very interested in taking a long range course for the past couple of years but I was not sure that I would be a good candidate do to my lack of experience in shooting past 200 yds, but now that I've completed the course with Atlanta Firearms, I'm so glad that I pushed through the uncertainty of my lack of knowledge of shooting at long ranges. From the moment I walked into the classroom on Saturday morning until the moment that I completed shooting all the way out to 700 yards you both made me feel welcome and comfortable

I take my hat off to Chris Avery and Brian Wilson because in my book these two guys went the extra mile to make sure that my personal gear that I brought to the course was set up correctly and safe before I ever stepped foot onto the range
I found it refreshing that Chris and Brian both were willing to answer everyone's questions and that they both took the time to give each and every one of us the needed personal one-on-one help, advice and instructions.
Now after taking the course, I can see why some of our group came as far as Kuwait, Colorado, Illinois as well as throughout the Southeast. Great job guys and thanks for helping me to become a better and safer long-range marksman.
