WELCOME TO THE LGR ACADEMY
Comprehensive firearms courses, skill and technique development, private coaching, specialty trainers, and more.
​
Join the LGR Academy to build confidence, sharpen your skills, and take your training to the next level. Our programs are designed for shooters of all experience levels, from first-time participants to seasoned professionals. With a welcoming, safety-focused environment and instruction you can trust, LGR Academy is where disciplined training meets personal growth.
Our Philosophy
At LGR Academy, we deliver high-quality, accessible, and affordable firearms training to the Central Valley community without cutting corners on safety or standards. Our students do not just attend classes; they earn access to private range practice opportunities through a structured, skills-based pathway. It is a hands-on approach that blends time-tested fundamentals with modern training methods, setting us apart from other training academies.
​
Our mission is simple and serious: provide a safe, professional shooting environment while helping our patrons and members maintain proficiency, strengthen personal protection skills, and grow within the shooting sports. Safety is not a checkbox here. It is the foundation of everything we do.
​
We are equally committed to the future of the sport. That means creating facilities and resources that:
-
Encourage family participation
-
Protect and preserve our shooting and hunting heritage
-
Welcome new shooters through education and instruction
-
Support responsible stewardship in our local community
The LGR Academy is led by instructors with diverse real-world experience who guide you through every step of the learning process. Whether you are brand new, returning to the range, or refining advanced skills, there is always room to sharpen your craft.
​
Explore our programs, learn our approach, and take the next step in your training journey with confidence.
The Future of the LGR Academy Training Program
​
Coming soon, LGR Academy will introduce a robust, progressive training program designed to support shooters at every stage. This program will offer refresher courses, focused skill-building, and advanced training opportunities that go beyond punching holes in paper targets under a fixed-round-per-second rule. Instead, participants will develop practical skills in a controlled, safety-driven environment that emphasizes purpose, accountability, and growth.
​
LGR members will receive a per-course discount issued on a rechargeable LGR Gift Card. This credit may be used toward Pro Shop purchases or on our online store, where members can shop a wide selection of items, including training gear, accessories, and additional products not limited to the firearms industry. Online purchases may be drop shipped directly to your address or delivered to the range for convenient in-store pickup.
​
Non-members are welcome to participate in training, and an optional subscription program provides access to most courses for a single, straightforward price. Some specialty courses taught by partnered traveling professionals may be excluded.
​
Qualified members will have access to private training bays to practice and reinforce what they have learned in coursework. A current NRA Range Safety Officer certification or equivalent credential will be required for private bay access.
​
Through this program, LGR Academy patrons will have consistent and reliable access to a wide range of professional, structured firearms training designed to build confidence, competence, and long-term proficiency.
