While it may seem strange, the best way to learn how to dry-fire is under the watchful eye of a professional instructor. Without an instructor’s critique you may simply be ingraining bad habits. - Paul Markel
Why Choose CONDITION ORANGE for Firearms Training?

No feeling foolish for asking questions. Just you, your goals, and a comfortable learning environment. Unless you invite that one wild uncle...then no promises.
REAL ONE-ON-ONE ATTENTION
Our classes are small, private, and tailored to you and your family or close friends. This isn’t a lecture—it’s an interactive, judgment-free experience where you get the instructor’s full attention. Ask what you want, when you want, without worrying how it sounds in front of strangers. And yes, your instructor is still available after the class.
SAFETY FIRST—WITHOUT LIVE AMMO
With CONDITION ORANGE, you can develop real-world firearm handling skills using cutting-edge technology—safely, right at home. Our system allows you to perform drills you'd normally only see on a live range, all without the risks of live ammunition. You'll build muscle memory before ever stepping foot onto a range.
TRAIN AT YOUR SPEED
Learning to handle a firearm isn’t about rushing—it’s about repetition, confidence, and building instinct. Your training is customized to match your learning style and can be repeated as many times as you need. Whether you're brand-new or need to polish old skills, we go at your pace—no stress, no pressure.
EXPERIENCED & CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS
Our instructors don’t just teach civilians. They've trained law enforcement professionals from agencies across Colorado. When you train with CONDITION ORANGE, you're learning from professionals who understand both the technical side and the responsibility that comes with it.
COST THAT MAKES SENSE
A public class could cost you $400–$600 once you factor in tuition, ammo, gas, and possibly lodging. Private sessions? Sometimes $1,000 an hour. CONDITION ORANGE gives you a private, self-paced experience—with unlimited trigger time—for less than the cost of the average public course.
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING
Whether you want an intensive 8-hour course or bite-sized lessons in 1-, 2-, or 4-hour blocks, CONDITION ORANGE adapts to your calendar. And since we come to you, there's no commute, no time lost, and no excuses.
CONCLUSION
So why CONDITION ORANGE? Because your training happens in a private, stress-free environment, using high-end, ammo-free technology.

The Importance of Dry-Fire Training
Don’t Expect Mastery from a Single Lesson
You wouldn’t expect to play like Jimi Hendrix after just a few hours with a guitar—or run a professional kitchen after one cooking class, right? Yet, when it comes to concealed carry and self-defense, millions of Americans are doing just that. As of 2024, over 21 million Americans held a concealed carry permit. Add to that the 29 permit-less carry states—and you're looking at an estimated 65 million Americans who legally carry a firearm for personal protection. But here’s the alarming truth: Fewer than half practice more than once a year. Even fewer pursue training beyond their initial carry class! So ask yourself: could you cook to save your life after one class? Then why would anyone think a single firearms course is enough to defend their life or their family? Sure, many can handle a firearm. But would they be mentally and physically prepared for one of the most traumatic moments of their life? Most people cite time, cost, or restrictive range rules as reasons not to train. But what if we told you there’s a way to train smarter—right at home?
Enter: Dry Fire Training
Dry Fire Training is a game-changer. Using an unloaded firearm or training tools like a SIRT laser pistol and/or the Smokeless Range, you can safely develop crucial skills like:
Trigger control
Sight alignment
Grip and stance
Muzzle and safety awareness
All from the comfort of your home. At little to no cost.
No matter the tool, always follow the 4 Universal Firearms Safety Rules:
Treat every gun as loaded
Never point the muzzle at anything you don’t intend to destroy
Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire
Know your target—and what’s beyond it
Follow these rules, and insist those around you do the same. Safe training is effective training.
Shooting Is a Perishable Skill
Like riding a bike, you don’t forget how—but neglect it, and your precision erodes. And unlike you rad bike skills, that regression could cost you in a real-world moment. That’s where muscle memory comes in: performing actions automatically through repetition. With dry fire training, you can build that repetition—thousands of reps—faster, cheaper, and more efficiently than at the range.
Time & Cost Savings
Let’s break it down: A public class could cost you $400–$800 once you factor in tuition, ammo, gas, and possibly lodging. Private sessions could run as much as $1,000 an hour! If you do this live-fire training once a month, it will cost you $2500-$10,000+ a year. You will spend about 150+ hours a year of your time and 1500-3000 reps/rounds fired. If you choose to use CONDITION ORANGE and dry-fire training, your yearly cost will look more like $1000-$3000 a year using as many hours you need to get it right with 10,000+ reps. This is a fraction of the cost you would pay for any private lesson. So why CONDITION ORANGE and dry-fire, No wasted hours. No costly ammo. Just private, safe, guided, focused and repeatable skill-building.
Train Your Way—Most ranges restrict essential skills like:
Drawing from a holster
Shooting on the move
Rapid-fire drills
These are core components of real-life defense scenarios. Dry Fire Training lets you build those tactical skills—safely, and without breaking range rules or your budget.
So where does CONDITION ORANGE come in? We bring the training to you. Our seasoned instructors identify your skill gaps, strengthen your fundamentals, and equip you with at-home drills to keep your edge sharp. It’s personalized, practical, and priced to make real training accessible. Are we saying never go to the range? Of course not. Live fire is essential for understanding recoil, real-time pressure, and live engagement. But with Dry Fire Training, you can refine your skills beforehand—so when you hit the range, you can train with purpose. The next time you head to the range your friends and they ask how you got so much better, you’ll know the answer:
Dry Fire—and CONDITION ORANGE.
