Sig Sauer Academy

Train with the best! Great training for new shooters. Did 101 and 102.
Can’t wait to attend 103. One complaint — I wish they would cater better to students in the Pro shop. It seems that they are understaffed at times and I feel lost walking around without any help.

So, I had forgotten about the Academy, and stumbled on to it when doing a Unilocal search while in Portsmouth for work. Too late to change travel plans to take a class, unfortunately.
However, I did tour the Pro Shop. Like a kid in a candy store, as was said by Jeremy. Even better, I was able to talk to one of the associates about some questions I have with my Sig. Extremely generous with time, and patient with what were probably dopey questions. Great customer service, despite a busy shop. I was also glad that the shop is open until 7 pm.
Very glad to have been reminded of this place! Now, to figure out when I can return for some training. ;-)

I went to the Sig Sauer Pro Shop. This is like Candy Land for firearms if you are a SiG fan!
They have every make and model here and the staff was very professional and helpful. I had to tear myself away so I didn’t spend all my money.
I really wanted to take some of their classes that they offer too but didn’t have the time when I went.

My wife and I are new to shooting and we attended the handgun 102 and 103 class. They were both excellent. Tim Arnold was a great instructor, and JC took extra time to instruct my wife on the operation of an unfamiliar weapon. Both vere very clear, and very patient and way overqualified but no egos or arrogance and they seemed legitamently happy that we were taking the time and money to invest in our firearms education.
The other class attendees were all excellent, friendly, patient, and safe people as well. Approximately 12 people per class with a ⁷⁵⁄₂₅ men to woman ratio.
Also, classes are not a big promotion for Sig Sauer products. There was less than no promotion of Sig Sauer products.
Easy to get to from boston.
Hampton Inn in Stratford was an excellent place to stay nearby as well.
I can’t wait to get back and do more classes.
Do it!

Sig Sauer is like my Mecca. My first pistol was a P239 the day I turned 21 and now my Sigs have multiplied like rabbits and proudly own 3 others and of course with plans to get more. Sig Sauer Academy offers fantastic training opportunities on their impressive range with classes that will test your ability to shoot at a very basic level to shooting targets out to 1000 yards.
With a wide variety of classes, the instructors have all been top notch. There’s no point in owning a firearm for self defense if you aren’t able to maximize your effectiveness with it, so you should definitely train with the best. The best part of taking a class with Sig Sauer is you get 20% of retail for everything they sell and future classes within 20 days. That’s always a nice incentive for me to keep coming back despite the crazy drive I have to do in order to experience these classes.

If you are a shooting enthusiast and are interested in either fire arms or fire arm training courses, this is the place to be. The selection is limited to Sig Sauer fire arms, but they have almost every model on display and qualified salespeople to answer questions, help with selections of models, etc. They are generally familiar with fire arm transaction rules and can ship to a local F.F.L.
They also offer a full range of accessories as well as clothing and other «souvenir» type items.
The shooting classes are generally 8-​hour sessions and may be multiple days, so plan to stay at a nearby hotel in Portsmouth unless living locally.

This is world class training facility and it keeps growing and expanding. I started training here 4 – 5 years ago and they just keep getting better. I have taken their Range Master course which was an excellent course and I rent the facility out for private military training. They are very accommodating and give a military discount when you purchase firearms in their pro shop. The pro shop is like dieing and going to gun heaven! If you are a beginner looking to learn to shoot or a seasoned vet, this place has a course or a range for you!

I called this establishment after driving by it numerous times. Thinking that maybe it would be beneficial to my work for some knowledge and basic protection if needed, I called to ask a few questions on a few related topics. Well long story short, was basically fobbed off and told to call the local town pd to have my questions answered. I thought I could at least get some basic answers relating to guns or licensing??? Suppose not, so I will call my local pd and then go elsewhere for service.

my sister and i went to take the women’s class in october and we loved it!!! highly recommend and are planning to go back again soon.

I have been a student at Sig Sauer Academy several times over the past 3 years, and all I can say is, if your life might depend on your ability to accurately defend yourself with or without a weapon — you need to go here. Period.
Instructors are all top notch, and include many active and former military, law enforcement (including Federal officers), etc. All know their stuff love to teach others, and are patient. They don’t care what brand you shoot, just that you know how to shoot for your life.
If you have a handgun but haven’t had much instruction, try the Handgun 102 course, followed by the 103 course. At this writing they cost about $ 195 each plus ammo, which is cheap because the class size is limited.
Shotgun? Rifle or carbine? They have everything from orientation classes (beginning with, «this is a shotgun…» to advanced tactical training.
Want to learn how to defend yourself in low light environments? If someone is shooting back? If you have to shoot from the inside of, or from the outside into, a car?
Do you want to shoot competitively for IDPA and need a course on what that’s about? Or do you need to shoot the qualifier?
This list can go on, and on, and every single instructor they have there is just phenomenal.
The new Pro Shop is open from 10am to 6pm, and the guys who run that are great. Buy a new front sight for your Sig P220, and they might have some time to put it on for you.
They now offer Sig Sauer Custom Shop services there. Yes, customization of your firearm while you wait.
Thinking about getting your license to carry? Handgun 101 is the way to go, and it is Mass compliant for us citizens of the People’s Republic.
At the end of the day, everybody at this academy is focused on getting you from where you are, to where you OUGHT to be.
Check out their website, and give them a call if you are interested. You get a discount of 20% if you book another class after you take one there (you need to get to them within a couple of days of completing that class). You also get 20% off from the Pro Shop. You are also 10 minutes MAX from the best barbeque in New Hampshire (Goody Cole’s).
