Sealed Mindset Firearms Studio FAQ
What is the format for the Defensive Shooting Daily Series?
This class is set up with a martial arts structure, which means we offer a set number of classes each month for a monthly fee. We designed the daily series so that you can attend one class a week and get exactly what you need (perfect practice) out of it. We run this class daily (except for Sunday) at certain levels. Please call us or check our online scheduling software on the website for dates and times.
How do I learn more about what classes might work best for me?
Please give us a call at 877.723.7573.
The Firearms Studio’s Fitness & Fighting Room is available as an addendum to your monthly membership fee, or as a separate fee if you are not a member.
FAQ
How do I sign up to receive a tour of the facility?
Please email us or give us a call to set up a ½ hour meeting to discuss membership options and to receive a tour of the facility.
How do I sign up for my member assessment?
Each assessment requires you to schedule time with an instructor. Please schedule via our online scheduling program, or give us a call at your convenience.
Why do you require a background check and assessment for all of your members?
We want our facility to be a safe, professional and comfortable environment for our members. We require a background check if you do not currently have a permit to carry and we require an assessment of your current skill level to determine what your rank will be within the facility.
Why is rank an important part of the facility?
Rank gives the Firearms Studio the ability to offer a one-of-a-kind experience to its members, for example being able to draw from a holster or from a purse, being able to move while you shoot, etc.
Each person is assessed based on his or her current skill level and given a rank. Your rank gives you access to specific benefits within the facility. The rank is based on tactic-neutral knowledge and action; so you do not have to do it the “Sealed Mindset way,” you just need to complete your skills safely.
What are the different ranks?
Ranks run from Level 1 to Level 6.
How do I improve my rank?
All rank standards will be posted throughout the facility and in our membership guidelines. You may practice the standards alone or with the assistance of an instructor to improve your rank.
Can anyone walk in to use this facility?
This is a private, members’ only facility that provides a one-of-a-kind experience for its members. Anyone can walk in to become a member, but only members or students who take a class can use our facilities. Members have access to all areas of the facility once they have purchased their annual membership (with the exception of the PT room), but students only have access to those areas used by their class and their instructor during the class time.
When would I have access to the Fitness & Fighting Room?
The Firearms Studio’s Fitness & Fighting Room is available as an addendum to your monthly membership fee, or as a separate fee if you are not a member.
Can someone just be a member to use the Live Fire Range?
Yes, as a member, you can use the Live Fire Range, but you will still have access to every other area of the facility for your annual membership fee (other than the PT room, which is an additional fee).
If I am new to the defensive handgun world, what class should I start with?
The best class to start with depends on whether or not you would like your wife, girlfriend or significant other to join you in this new hobby? If you would like her to join you, invite her out for our “Date Night” to experience a little taste of everything we do, complete with delicious food, firearms and fun.
If you want to pursue training on your own, then the best place to start is with an assessment and then to head into our Defensive Shooting Daily Series.
What is the difference between Spy Date and Date Night?
Spy Date is a two-hour event that is fast paced. We give you covert identities, allow you to compete as spies and then give you a chance to diffuse a bomb.
Date Night is a four-hour, relaxed social event. We give you a taste of mindset, awareness, defensive handgun training, defensive flashlight training and you leave with a plan of action for what to do if anyone were to ever break into your home. All of this is done over delicious appetizers and dinner, plus dessert and wine (after you finish the shooting lesson).
