From mobsters to cowboys, Uncle Vanya to the captain of the Millennium Falcon – firearms are major part in our modern mythologies. Learn the skills and gain the confidence to be safe both onstage and onscreen.

With The Noble Blades, Flying V presents an SAFD Theatrical Firearms Safety Course. This 2 day course takes participants through extensive training in nomenclature, legal regulations governing theatrical firearms, practical experience in maintenance, safe handling practices and procedures for theatre and film, coordination of theatrically effective and safe performance techniques, and the opportunity to perform basic firearms combat sequences with fellow participants. Registration includes SAFD certification test.

This course encompasses more than 14 hours of training and will be taught by SAFD Fight Director and Theatrical Firearms Instructor Robb Hunter.

All firearms, ammunition, hearing protection and eye protection will be provided for you although you may bring your own hearing and eye protection if you so desire (subject to instructor approval).

This course has no prerequisites.
