Certification for Armed Team Members
Live fire qualification focusing on mechanics, accuracy, safety, and time. Prove your proficiency and earn your certification to serve on an armed safety team.
Course Overview
Range Qualification is the final step in the ARX Training system. This live fire session tests the mechanics, accuracy, safety awareness, and speed of each armed team member using their own carry firearm.
Qualification is recommended annually or biannually to ensure your armed team maintains the proficiency needed to protect your congregation. Results are documented and certification is issued upon successful completion.
Qualification Components
Each component is evaluated individually to ensure well-rounded proficiency.
Evaluate grip, stance, sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control, and follow-through. Proper mechanics are the foundation of accurate, safe shooting under stress.
Demonstrate consistent shot placement at multiple distances while managing stress. Scored on grouping, precision, and the ability to maintain accuracy through fatigue.
Assessed throughout the entire qualification. Proper muzzle discipline, trigger discipline, safe handling during reloads, and awareness of surroundings at all times.
Complete a timed course of fire that tests draw speed, target acquisition, accuracy, and reload efficiency. Par times are based on real-world response benchmarks.
Note: Range fees are not included in the course pricing and are the responsibility of the participant or church.
