Oregon Firearms Academy nominated for
awards
Oregon Firearms Academy LLC has received the
firearms and shooting industry's coveted SHOT Show Range of the Year
Award nomination. The highly-regarded honor ranks the Brownsville
area school among the top training ranges in the country.
The
Academy is one of only nine training facilities in the nation to be
awarded the National Association of Shooting Range's (NASR)
four-star rating for teaching self defense firearm training to law
enforcement and civilians alike.
To meet the criteria of a four-star
facility, OFA had to demonstrate excellence in all aspects of
business, range, training, management and operations. Ranges are
rated on appearance, management, customer service, amenities,
customer development and community relations.
The only higher
award is the five-star rating. No other range in the northwest has a
four- or five-star rating.
According to a statement from OFA,
staff credentials are one reason the school continues to receive
national recognition like the recent nomination for the 2005 SHOT
Show Business Range of the Year Award. OFA's instructors include a
decorated military veteran, a retired Linn County Sheriff's Deputy,
a SWAT team member, former criminal prosecutor, former gunsmith, a
mixed martial arts champion. All instructors are masters in high
levels of firearm training.
OFA trains law enforcement
officers in a variety of highly-specialized tactical skills, and
also trains civilians in the defensive use of firearms. Any given
class might include nurses, judges, and college students, as well as
‘soccer moms' and law enforcement officers all training in the safe
and effective use of self defense firearms.
OFA's multi-room tactical simulator
allows students to train in a building that can be configured like a
home and/or office for realistic drills.
The Academy teaches
all levels of firearm use from the basics of safe firearm handling
to more advanced training.
