Free firearms training videos and courses

The best free firearms training videos and online courses: marksmanship, defensive shooting, gunsmithing and ballistics channels we trust, from a Pahrump gun shop.

Video is a great way to learn what good technique looks like before you practice it: grip, presentation from the holster, malfunction clearing, reloads, and how to work on your own firearm safely.

We lean toward instructors and organizations that explain why, not just how, and that put safety first. Watch, then practice the fundamentals slowly in dry fire (with all ammunition out of the room) before taking them to the range.

Video can't see your grip or your trigger press. If something isn't clicking, a few minutes with an instructor watching usually fixes what hours of video can't.
