The Armed Personal Defense Institute is a fully accredited firearms safety and personal protection training organization. APDI was founded in 2002 to address the need for quality, foundation level training for new firearms owners. Our focus is to provide a safe, encouraging environment that will allow students to learn effective marksmanship and gun handling skills whether they are a beginner or a skilled shooter. Our professional and unique training techniques provide our students with skills that will allow them to build their firearms skills, understand the legal ramifications associated with the use of deadly force and provide them with information that could potentially save their life or the life of a loved one. APDI offers most of its courses on weekends at Ben Avery Shooting Facility, located in north Phoenix. Our courses are convenient, inexpensive and are located to require minimum travel for those living in the Valley of the Sun. We also periodically offer course in other locations throughout the Valley. Please phone or email us for locations and dates. Doug Little, chief instructor and founder of APDI has the highest commitment to safe and effective training in the full range of firearms disciplines. Doug has over 18 years of experience in various firearms disciplines and invests over 120 hours each year training at some of the best shooting schools in the nation, including Gunsite and Suarez International.
