Instructors leading firearms training at an outdoor shooting range

AKIM Znojmo · Hodonice

Shooting & Tactical Courses

Learn to handle a firearm safely and effectively — from your first shot to small-team tactics. Progressive one-day modules at the AKIM range in Znojmo, for civilians without a firearms license and for professionals. We provide the firearm.

Training for situations where skills decide

Plenty of people own a firearm or work with one — and most have had only basic instruction. That's not enough for safe, confident weapon handling under stress. Our courses aren't sport shooting: we build correct habits, technical certainty and decision-making in conditions as close to reality as we can make them.

How the modules build on each other

Six one-day modules across four levels. You take the fundamentals and advanced modules separately with pistol and rifle, then bring both weapons together in Weapon Transition — and the top of the system is Applied Tactics. You join wherever your experience puts you.

Level 1 — Fundamentals

Pistol Fundamentals · handgun: safety rules, proper grip, sight alignment and basic shooting technique. Theory plus range practice, for complete beginners.

Rifle Fundamentals · long gun: handling, safe control and marksmanship with your primary weapon system.

Level 2 — Advanced

Advanced Pistol · shooting on the move, working with cover, dynamic scenarios testing reaction time, accuracy and decision-making under pressure. Prerequisite: Pistol Fundamentals or equivalent experience.

Advanced Rifle · position changes, movement while shooting, more complex drills and real-world scenarios. Prerequisite: Rifle Fundamentals or equivalent experience.

Level 3 — Both weapons combined

Weapon Transition · transitions between rifle and pistol, effective use of both weapon types. Prerequisite: completed Advanced Pistol and Advanced Rifle.

Level 4 — The highest level

Applied Tactics · safe individual and small-team movement, communication, cover, spatial orientation — shooting connected with tactics. The highest module of the system, building on Weapon Transition.
