ABOUT US

Strategic Outfitters Training Center is the combined vision of its founders, Doug and JL        (Jody) Rehman, who have been married for more than 30 years. Together, they create classes and content to push the envelope of firearms training beyond the tunnel vision approach of concentrating on shooting lots of rounds, mostly from static positions, that is seen in most of the industry. Other trainers argue over the proper static shooting stance to use. Doug and JL are focusing on the skills necessary to minimize becoming involved in a confrontation in the first place and how to prevail through shooting, reloading, and clearing malfunctions while moving and seeking cover if you do.

Long aware of the inadequate training being received by many people taking concealed carry classes, an opportunity to create a training center manifested in 2013. The Rehman's did substantial research into training options that were available to private citizens and found an abundance of "tacticool" instructors (think instructors dressed in paramilitary garb, spinning yarns of their law enforcement or military exploits, who like to be photographed with AR-15 style rifles-preferably fully automatic) and others looking to trade a "training certificate" for money.

What was lacking was tiered training delivered by mature, experienced, and professional instructors that is geared towards ordinary people wanting to maximize their knowledge and skills to protect themselves, their families, and their businesses. To fill this void, the Rehman's created Strategic Outfitters, purchased a house on acreage, fully renovated and furnished it to serve as a dedicated training center, including an outdoor firearms range. The house is solely dedicated to providing comfortable training and no one lives in it.

Strategic Outfitters' courses are designed for those who seek a relaxed and academic atmosphere. These are small, intimate classes taught by mature professionals with substantial firearms experience.

At Strategic Outfitters, you're not a customer, you're a client.
