All-Access Live Training

This is the big difference between Patriot Protector and PTC University. Here is everything it covers.

What membership covers on the range

Take ALL our “Patriot” level fundamental courses as many times as you like, as often as you like, because each one is only $0 for Patriot Protector members.

Your draw time, PTC Qual and LEO Qual, plus more, are scored at every course, so each visit starts where the last one ended.

Attend each course one time$11,000$0
YOU SAVEthe first time through all six. Every retake saves another $1,500 to $2,500.$11,000

Retake any of them at no additional tuition, as many times as you want, as often as you want. Did not clear the PTC Qual? Come back. Want the rifle course a third time? Register and show up.

Course attendance requires advance registration and is subject to the published schedule and available seating.

That's just the value the FIRST time through each course. As a Patriot Protector member, you'll want to come back again and again…

These members did. Here is the tuition they would have paid, and the value they got in just their first year after joining our membership.

“All the trainers are very knowledgeable and approachable. I very highly recommend this course to anyone who has firearms or is thinking of getting a firearm. I became a [Patriot Protector] member after my 2 day course was completed.”
Jason KirkpatrickGoogle review

Now add it up

What would the same training cost if you paid for every live course at the full tuition rate separately?

A 2-Day Patriot course is $1,500. A 4-Day is $2,500. Students who train with us keep coming back, because skill with a firearm fades without practice under a coach. Every return trip is another tuition bill, unless you are a member.

Three 2-Day courses in a year is $4,500 in tuition. A year of Patriot Protector at $199 a month is $2,388.

Set your own pace on the right and compare.

Why Patriot Training Center Is THE Place For Serious Americans…

Most of the Southeast is a day's drive or less from our range.

33-Acre Private Training Facility With a Full-Time Instructor Cadre

This IS our full-time job. But it's more than that. It's our mission and passion…

Other programs rent time at someone else's facility. We built our own in Eastaboga, Alabama: our range, our 41-seat classroom, our instructors. That is why one membership can cover every Patriot-level course, and why the same instructors can coach you for years.

Patriot Training Center was founded by Caleb Lee, a regular civilian and not a former operator. More than thirteen years ago he decided to take protecting his family seriously, trained under the country's top instructors, and earned certifications from the NRA, USCCA and Rangemaster at the Master level.

Most of our members do not live near Alabama. They plan the trip, and the two family certificates turn it into a family weekend.

Getting here

Right off I-20, between two major airports.

Fly into Birmingham or Atlanta, pick up a rental car, and drive straight down the interstate. Easy to get here, and easy to come back every time a new course is on the calendar.

Fly into Atlanta (ATL)About 100 miles, under 2 hours, west on I-20. Alabama runs on Central time, so you gain an hour on the drive.
Stay in OxfordHotels and restaurants right off I-20, about 15 to 20 minutes from the range. Pell City, to the west, is the other good option.
“After reading reviews and researching I signed up for the [Patriot Protector membership]. … What a great program with tons of valuable info. The encouragement we were given was genuine and helpful in my pursuit to become better and more confident with my weapon. My eagerness to return has made it easy to practice daily, what I've learned. Do your research and SIGN-UP, you won't regret it.”
Ray LaVigneGoogle review
“I've had over 300 hrs of firearms training throughout my career in the military, various agencies & employment at 2 indoor ranges; much of it required and some of it a perk of employment. I personally paid for this class and it was well worth it.”

“If anyone was remotely thinking about joining the community, and taking advantage of perks, I’d ask them why they haven’t signed up yet. Great instructors great class even the fellow students in the class were awesome!!”

Questions

Before you join

Monthly or the All-Access Pass. Which should I choose?

They are the same membership. Monthly is $199 a month and includes Right To Bear legal coverage. The All-Access Pass is one payment of $9,000 with no monthly dues, and legal coverage is an optional $40 a month. Monthly costs less to start. The Pass costs less once you stay past month 45.

How is this different from PTC University?

PTC University is included in Patriot Protector. University members get the digital library, coaching, community, legal protection and one free live course every six months. Patriot Protector members get all of that, plus every Patriot-level course with no tuition, the two family certificates, the 90% friend discount and member pricing.

Can I start with PTC University and move up later?

Yes. PTC University is $99 a month and Patriot Protector is $199 a month. Call 1-855-927-4668 and we will move you up.

What is the 12-month commitment?

You pay $199 a month for a 12-month term and the $1,500 initiation fee is waived. If you cancel before 12 months, the $1,500 initiation fee is due. Month-to-month has no contract. You pay the $1,500 initiation fee up front and can cancel anytime.

I do not live in Alabama. Does this still make sense?

Most members do not. They fly or drive in, plan trips around the calendar, and use the two family certificates to bring someone along. Live training on a real range with the same instructors, repeated over years, is what the membership buys.

What does Patriot-level mean?

Our fundamentals courses: 2-Day and 4-Day Patriot Pistol, 2-Day and 4-Day Red Dot Patriot Pistol, 2-Day Patriot Rifle and 2-Day Patriot Shotgun. Advanced courses such as Pistol Level 2 are separate.

How often can I train?

As often as you like. Register for any Patriot-level course on the calendar. Seating follows the published schedule.

What if I change my mind?

The All-Access Pass is covered by our 60-day money-back policy. So is the initiation fee on the month-to-month option. The 12-month commitment follows the terms of the Membership Agreement you accept when you choose it. Call 1-855-927-4668 or email [email protected].

What states does the legal protection cover?

All 50 states and U.S. territories, with one exception. Residents of New York, New Jersey and Washington cannot buy self-defense legal protection from any provider. See what we do for members in those states.

*A note for our New York, New Jersey and Washington members

Your state blocked the legal coverage. So we doubled your family certificates, and we stand in your corner as your expert witness too.

If you live in New York, New Jersey or Washington, your state has passed laws that prohibit residents from buying self-defense legal protection from any provider. That includes Right To Bear, USCCA and US Law Shield. It was not Right To Bear's choice and it was not ours.

  1. You train to a documented standard. Our members train to pass the same qualification a police officer has to pass, and you leave with training certificates and scores on record.
  2. No state can block your expert witness. That benefit does not require legal coverage. It only requires that you have trained with us live.
  3. You get double the family training. Four free 2-Day Patriot course certificates instead of two, for a spouse, family member or friend. You already attend every Patriot-level course yourself, so we doubled the part you can share.

Same price, and everything else in your membership exactly as described. Per Right To Bear's membership terms, residents of New Jersey, New York and Washington are not eligible for a Right To Bear membership. Members are covered while traveling through those states.
