Professionalism that goes above and beyond
The Sheepdog Project (TSP) offers quality firearm education and firearm training. The quality of our firearm education and training derives from the qualifications of our instructors.
Ron Gilkey introduces The Sheepdog Project mission and vision.
Many of our students set out to take four consecutive core curriculum courses that educate them in the laws regarding use of force, “Castle Doctrine”, firearm safety, and the fundamentals of shooting accurately, Level 1-4. We offer a Level 5 course that can be taken after our Level 2 course without taking the Level 3 and Level 4 courses. We offer service courses as well.
The Sheepdog Project offers ladies only courses.
TSP conducts live fire training as well as virtual range training. Our Level 1 Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) firearm course satisfies the CCW training requirement for multiple states surrounding Pennsylvania.
The Sheepdog Project Bare Bones Virtual Range where virtual practice translates into marksmanship.
Our training facility is located at Altra Firearms whose address is 750 South Hazzard Rd, Jackson Center, PA 16133 which is conveniently located in Mercer County Pennsylvania just 5 miles from the Grove City exit off I-80.
The Distinguished Graduate Reward is the highest honor we can reward our students. It’s a lifetime membership to Front Sight Firearms Training Institute out in Nevada. The membership is valued at over $9000.00!
Know your instructor. When you’re looking to get quality firearm training, be sure to do your homework. Verify the people teaching your course are qualified. We are qualified and certified instructors.
