Do I need prior experience to join a beginner gun safety course in Helena, MT?

No experience needed. Our beginner firearms training classes in Helena are built from the

ground up for first-time shooters and new gun owners. Whether you've never held a pistol or just picked up your first AR-15, Kronos Defense Group's foundational gun safety

courses walk you through proper grip, stance, safe handling, and range etiquette before

you fire a single round. Experienced shooters can move into our advanced shooting courses to sharpen defensive skills.

What firearms training classes does Kronos Defense Group offer in Helena, MT?

We offer the following gun training courses:  Foundational Pistol Training, AR-15 Rifle

Classes, NRA Certified Safety Courses, Church Security Training, and the Montana Armed

Security Guard Card Endorsement. From first-time shooter classes to defensive pistol

training and rifle instruction in Montana — there's a course for every skill level.

What gear do I need for my first gun training class?

For most shooting classes, you'll need:  your pistol or rifle (loaners may be available —

contact us to confirm), adequate ammunition per course requirements, eye and ear

protection, weather-appropriate clothing, and a valid photo ID. After you register for any of

our firearms training courses, we'll email you a complete gear checklist so you show up fully prepared.

Are your firearms instructors NRA certified?

Yes. Kronos Defense Group is led by an NRA certified firearms instructor, with real-world

operational experience — not just a classroom background. Our NRA gun safety courses

and defensive shooting programs are built around practical, scenario-based drills. When

you train with us, you learn from a certified shooting instructor who has applied these skills in real environments — not just on paper.

How is range safety handled during your gun classes?

Firearm safety is the foundation of every class we teach. At Kronos Defense Group, the

four fundamental rules of gun safety are enforced at all times across all our pistol, rifle, and

AR-15 training courses. Our certified range safety instructors correct unsafe handling

immediately. Students who repeatedly violate safety protocols will be removed from the

course — we maintain a safe shooting environment for every participant, every time.

What is the refund or reschedule policy for gun classes?

We know life gets in the way. If you need to cancel or reschedule your firearms training

class, please contact us as early as possible. Cancellations with sufficient notice are

typically transferable to a future pistol, rifle, or NRA safety course date at no extra charge.

Specific refund windows are detailed at registration. Always reach out directly —don't just no-show.

Do you offer private or group gun training sessions in Montana?

Yes — Kronos Defense Group offers private group firearms training for families,

businesses, church security teams, and organizations of all sizes. Whether you need a

family gun safety course, a corporate shooting training day, or a private defensive pistol

class in Montana, we'll build a session tailored to your group's goals, pace, and skill level. Contact us to discuss scheduling and group rates.

Can I take a gun safety course if I don't own a firearm yet?

Absolutely — and training before you buy is one of the smartest moves a new gun owner

can make. Our beginner gun safety classes teach you to safely handle, load, fire, and store a firearm before you invest in one. This is especially valuable if you're considering a

handgun for home defense, concealed carry in Montana, or your first AR-15 rifle purchase.

Contact us before your course date, and we'll discuss loaner or rental options to make sure you're fully equipped on training day.
