Fortress is offering our 1-day Cold Weather Carry class February 21, 2026, in Sturgis, Michigan.

We who carry guns in states that experience real winters spend what little practice time we engage in on sunny, summer afternoons or climate controlled indoor ranges, never attempting to draw our pistols from concealment around heavy coats or with gloves on.

We now have an opportunity to do so! (With plenty of breaks to warm up.)

Attendees must be graduates of a Fortress or DTI Level I Handgun class to attend.

Ages 18, and up.

150-rounds

Off-body/container carry IS allowed!

Time: 9am-4pm

Cost $165 per student.

Easy two-step sign up:

#1 – Submit Tuition (separate payment of $165 for each attendee)
