OUR Mission

From new shooters to seasoned soldiers and police officers and all in between, we teach passionate gun owners to be safer, more competent and more confident shooters. We accomplish this with tailored, doctrine based instruction delivered by equally passionate firearms professionals. We are dedicated to absolute professionalism, responsibility and accountability in the civilian, law enforcement and military shooting communities.

Current Operations

We currently offer various programs of instruction at local venues. We normally execute Pistol courses at Whistling Pines Gun Club (East). We can travel to other hosting ranges in Colorado Springs and beyond with prior coordination. Most courses are conducted on Saturdays and/or Sundays. Individual instruction is available on weekdays and evenings as requested. OSS is fully insured for live fire instruction and training through NRA endorsed Lockton Affinity, LLC.

Whether teaching a concealed carry class for women or room entry techniques for SWAT teams our performance-based approach ensures the client has maximized his/her individual potential by doing the absolute best with what they have. Our individualized, doctrine-based training inspires confidence reinforcing our client’s trust in OSS.
