2012: Being that the State of Wisconsin has finally adopted concealed carry, and being that Wisconsin now recognizes the Utah non-resident permit, interest in obtaining the Utah Concealed Firearm Permit will greatly increase with Illinois residents during the coming year. ATTS has already scheduled many more Utah CFP classes to accommodate the demand.
2012 has brought several new courses to the ATTS curriculum. The three most important will be the “Black Rifle Basics” program which is a two-day indoctrination of the AR-15 platform of rifles. The “Introduction to the Tactical Shotgun” which is a two-day block of training on the Tactical pump shotgun, and the two-day Tactical Pistol course. All three of these exciting new courses have been Registered and Approved by the NRA Law Enforcement Activities Division. ATTS is in the process of having their Precision Rifle training program registered and approved as well. We are also in the process of creating a "Force on Force" training program utilizing Air Soft firearms. Keep watching the ATTS web site for updates.
We have made arrangements with the Aurora Sportsman's Club in Waterman, Illinois to use their outdoor range facilities to run the above three courses. We will run six classes in 2012. Two for the AR-15, two for the Tactical Shotgun, and two for the Tactical Pistol starting in April. These courses will be limited to 20 students each, so if you want in you'll have to act very quickly.
2011: 2011 was a very busy year for ATTS. It had Pete traveling all over the country to train and to be trained as well. It started off with him attending several of the NRA law enforcement instructor development schools. The first was the Precision Rifle Instructor School in Memphis, TN, followed closely by the Patrol Rifle Instructor School in Ford City, Pennsylvania, and the Handgun/Shotgun Instructor School in Mexico, MO.
He also traveled to Salt Lake City, UT to renew his Utah Concealed Firearm Permit Instructor rating, and then attended the IALEFI Master Firearms Instructor Development Program in Chattanooga, TN. He also became a Regional Counselor for the NRA’s Refuse to be a Victim Program.
Since the inception of ATTS, Pete has personally trained and certified well over 200 new NRA Certified Instructors in several shooting disciplines, and has trained approximately 200 students for their Utah or Florida Concealed Firearm Permits. With the State of Wisconsin now accepting the Utah Non-resident concealed carry permit, Pete expects interest in the Utah permit to skyrocket, especially with Illinois residents who routinely travel to Wisconsin.
By constantly attending and updating our own training, ATTS strives to bring you the best firearm instruction in the Midwest region. Pete believes that people should never stop wanting to learn, or think that they ever have enough training, and that goes for instructors as well.
2010: September 2010 found Peter J. Kolovos instructing 90 female shooters during the National Rifle Association’s Second Annual Women’s Wilderness Escape held at the NRA’s Whittington Center in beautiful Raton, New Mexico.
The ladies, came from all over the United States, to learn to shoot various types of firearms which included smallbore rifles, tactical carbines, long-range high power rifles, Five-stand Sporting Clays, revolvers and semi-automatic pistols and archery. Other activities included an NRA Wild Turkey Hunter Clinic, a Refuse To Be A Victim® Seminar, survival training, wild game calling, tree-stand safety, a mock hunt, stargazing, and GPS navigation.
Because of his vast experience in the many aspects of the shooting sports, Director of Firearm Training, Peter Kolovos applied for and was selected as an NRA staff instructor for this event. As an NRA Certified Training Counselor and NRA Certified Coach he not only instructs new shooters but he has classes where he trains the trainers.
2009: In January of 2009, the Academy of Tactical Training & Security, LLC was founded by former Deputy Sheriff, Peter J. Kolovos. He started that January off with his first class of 20 Utah Concealed Firearm Permit students, and ATTS has been going strong ever since.
