About Oregon Firearms Academy LLC and Staff

For the past 15 years, Oregon Firearms Academy LLC (OFA) has delivered defensive small arms and tactics instruction to law enforcement, corrections, armed security, private investigators, and private citizens. Our students travel from all over the United States including Canada and South America to train with us. OFA is a member of the National Rifle Association's Business Alliance, National Shooting Sports Foundation - National Association of Shooting Ranges, the National Rifle Association and has been Adjunct Staff at Lane Community College and Linn Benton Community College.

OFA's staff is a blend of, high ranking, law enforcement instructors and highly qualified instructors from the private sector with over 35 + years of combined experience in teaching firearms. This diversity is what makes OFA's courses so rich in content and relevancy for the "real world."

Also, several of the staff are adjunct firearm instructors for Clint Smith's International Training Consultants and John Farnam's Defensive Training International. OFA has provided multiple firearms courses through Lane Community College and Linn-Benton Community College's Continuing Education/Job Training programs including courses for new Law Enforcement and Armed Private Security Officers. Recently, OFA staff was honored by being recognized in the acknowledgments in John Farnam's latest book on Defensive Handgunning and Vicki Farnam's new book, released Fall 2002, entitled Teaching Women to Shoot: A Law Enforcement Instructor's Guide.
