Find the Right Specialty Course for You

First Time Gun Owners Course

Just purchased your first firearm? Start your training the right way. This course is designed to give new and intermediate gun owners a comprehensive understanding of firearm safety, handling, storage, and operation. Gain the skills and confidence to handle your firearm responsibly.

Red Dot Optics Course

Red dot optics can enhance speed, accuracy, and target acquisition—but only if you know how to use them properly. This course covers zeroing, sight picture, defensive use, and transitioning from iron sights to optics for both handguns and rifles.

Defensive Shotgun Course

A shotgun is one of the most effective defensive tools, but only when properly trained to use it. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced shooter, this course teaches shotgun manipulation, defensive tactics, reloading under pressure, and home defense strategies to maximize your effectiveness.

Emergency Life-Saving Course

When seconds count, knowing what to do can save a life. This course provides essential trauma care techniques for firearm-related injuries and self-defense situations. Learn bleeding control, gunshot wound treatment, tourniquet application, and tactical trauma response.

Went to an ECCCW class at Shoot North Idaho, the staff was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. Look forward to returning.
Kelly Cook
The whole crew is great and very knowledgeable and friendly. Wade was quick to offer advice in the range and Chris was the best instructor I’ve ever met let alone worked with. Would recommend these guys to anyone looking to learn more or just a fun safe day on the range
