Who We Are:
Iron Mountain Training Group was founded to address the need for professional firearms training in Southern Utah. Raised in a region where firearms are a part of our heritage, we recognized the absence of accessible, high-quality training resources. Our commitment to filling this void led us to offer expert instruction drawn from our backgrounds in military, competitive shooting, law enforcement and self-defense. We firmly believe that as responsible U.S. citizens, it is our duty to not only exercise but also understand and master our Second Amendment rights
We offer a comprehensive range of training services, encompassing introductory courses for pistol and rifle handling, competition shooting, shotgun proficiency, self-defense tactics, and advanced tactical training, among other specialized programs. Our training sessions can be tailored to suit individual needs, conducted either within a group setting or through private lessons. Our instructors, comprised of military veterans and extensively trained civilian professionals, are dedicated to serving members of our community, regardless of their skill level.
