Our Team
Wright Shooting Concepts has been a family owned and operated business since 2013. We focus on providing military, law enforcement, and security professionals with the most up-to-date firearms and tactical training. All of our instructors have a law enforcement and/or military background. They pull from real world experiences that bring to life the “why” behind the “what.” We focus on easy to digest, instructor-level classes that will make the biggest impact within the security community. Our aim is always to empower our students with foundational building blocks rooted in principles that actually work, not only enhancing the students' skills but that can then be passed along to their units/departments.
