WELCOME TO THE INSTITUTE |
The Southern Virginia Defensive Firearms Institute was founded to instruct responsible civilian, Law Enforcement and Military personnel the art of armed self defense. We believe in teaching the core values of mind set, marksmanship and gun handling skills; skills required when a life threatening situation occurs. We start with basic core skills, ideal stance, grip, sight picture, trigger control and proper follow through. We believe in instructing solid basic skills and building on the base of those skills to form the perfect triad required to solve a confrontation at conversational distances with the required result.
Whether a novice or a skilled shooter, courses are available for your skill level. Womens only programs are available and conducted regularly at the Institute. The Institute also offers basic NRA courses in all disciplines; First Step Pistol, Basic Pistol, Personal Protection in the Home, Rifle, Shotgun and Home Firearm Safety are all taught here at the Southern Virginia Firearms Institute. Specialty firearms courses in Concealed Carry, Defensive Handgun, Defensive Revolver, Defensive Shotgun and Defensive Carbine are offered in one and two day formats to meet your schedule. ********************************************************* SVDFI, LLC NOW OFFERS THE FREE USE OF DPMS AP4 CARBINES, FOR THE DEFENSIVE CARBINE COURSE.
