Skill Checks

Advanced Course Skill Checks

The goal of the skill check is to ensure you are capable of effectively demonstrating the minimum required skills to safely participate in training. Passing this course of fire should NOT be challenging. Please shoot this on your own repeatedly so you know you can meet the standards if you have not attended previous training with Aegis Academy. This is for the safety of yourself, our other clients and staff, and we don't want to turn you away any more then you to leave. We look forward to working with each of you in the near future!

All scoreable rounds must impact in the 8 inch chest circle or the 4 inch head circle to count. Any round off the silhouette or target is an automatic failure.

To pass 20/25 rounds must impact within the eight-inch chest circle or the four inch head circle.
