What makes us unique?

Not only do we offer defensive handgun training, more importantly we provide the opportunity to maintain those skills through regular practice at fun-filled events.

Our New Shooter 101 Training Program lets beginners start with dry-fire training, then progress at their own pace to shooting at the range with defensive handguns.

We are a member-led and member-instructed non-profit community organization

We believe in the beneficial values of community service and personal growth through helping others.

Scenario based training events

Life-threatening situations can develop quickly.  Help will be minutes away.  You need to be your own First Responder.  Our training prepares you to deal with the most common types of defensive situations:

• Home Defense both indoors & outdoors
  
• Active Shooter Situations in public places
  
• Sudden Confrontations that arise without warning

What is a FUN SHOOT?

How often do you get together and go shooting with friends?  Our Fun Shoots give you a good reason to include more live-fire practice in your busy schedule.  Membership is not required to attend.  This is a great way to find out more about ADTA.

To shoot or not to shoot?

We believe that using a firearm for self-defense should be your last resort, after all other methods have failed.

Besides helping you learn how to shoot, ADTA also wants you to know how to AVOID shooting.  Our Layers of Safety training helps you learn non-lethal self-defense skills that help protect you physically as well as legally.
