I Drove 19 Hours To Take This Shooting Course & Here's Why

About this video

Colion describes his 19-hour road trip from Texas to Utah to attend a two-day pistol and rifle course run by Archon Ready Group, a training company created by Salient Arms and Archon Firearms. He breaks down the course structure, which he says progressed from foundational handgun drills to advanced rifle work including movement and barricade shooting, taught by instructors Dan and Billy (both former Army Special Operations). Colion explains that he values destination shooting as both serious training and an opportunity to travel, meet people, and explore new places.

Key takeaways

• Colion emphasizes the value of training with firearms in real courses, not just solo range time, because it fundamentally changes your relationship with your gun
• According to Colion, the instructors used a ’tactical progressive overload’ approach, starting with fundamentals and systematically increasing difficulty based on each student’s skill level
• Colion advocates for ‘destination shooting’—using firearms training as a reason to travel, experience new places, and return from vacation with improved self-defense skills
