Giving you the training, confidence and power to protect yourself and those you love.

SEMO Shooting and Self Defense was created to provide a place to develop confidence with firearms. We want to help new and experienced gun owners feel safe with their decision to have a firearm.

For those who want to carry their pistol, we offer training to help you be more comfortable and confident with your decision.

We have a love for recreational shooting as well and hope to pass the excitement on to others!
