June CCW training – Taking a class from Kevin MartinThis poor pretty princess searched and researched for over a month to find a competent safe professional firearms instructor. The local sheriff’s department, the gun store, an employee at Dunham’s, a LE at Ohio University, the NRA, and friends all told her to only consider Hilltop Gun Club and me as her instructor. This picture is after shooting 250 rounds of ammo going through 33 tactical drills all within 3 hours.

Military and Veteran’s Day on May 21stHilltop Gun Club will hold our Military and Veteran’s Day event May 21, 2016. Come out to train and practice with firearms, and have a good time! Hilltop Gun Club makes the news again in this Athens News article!
Concealed carry permits are up in Athens County, and about twice as much as the state average. See the article below for more on how Hilltop Gun Club is making this happen! The Athens News: L.A. watch store owner refuses to be a victim… repeatedly!Thugs were robbing and killing shopkeepers in Los Angeles. One of them had the nerve to defend himself, rather than go down, and had the wisdom to get trained properly, for any situation. His training paid off, and very likely saved his life and business more than once. Small world – this man, Lance Thomas, was trained in knife fighting by Hilltop Gun Club Chief Instructor Kevin Martin! RANGE UPDATE AND THE 2016 TRAINING SCHEDULEHilltop Gun Club activities currently are at a stand still due to the 11″ of snow we received this past weekend. All training has been suspended for the time being. However once it warms back up and the snow pack melts we will be open for members to train again. Current construction updates for the range will be moving some bullet impact ranges, to fix the nonstop 24/7/365 toe of the back stop water run 0ff for The Slot Range. That area must have cut open a Spring when we made the range. Even after installing 200′ of 4″ PVC drain pipe the area remains soggy at the hill toe. The next project we are working on is clearing out a slice of the forest for our 300+ yard rifle range which will be the only one in the entire S E Ohio area for members to shoot and train. Staff is currently building new target stands, shooting benches and portable benches for the students to place their kit and firearms on while shooting on The Slot range. In addition staff will be building a NRA designed shooting platform / shelter house for the rifle shooters. This will include a 12′ by 32′ deck with roof, shooting benches, sound abatement items, rifle racks, benches and shade cloth. We assume if all goes well (hahaha) the rifle platform will be ready for use in Mid March. We will have the 2016 training schedule up soon. Last, the board members of HillTop Gun Club is currently working with the staff of a national woman’s firearms advocacy group called The Well Armed Woman. Their primary mission is education and instruction and shooting. Because HillTop Gun Club has the only private members range we were approached by the local TWAW contact to be able receive training and shooting use of the range. Please check back for more information. Staff |

Reviews & Testimonials"I find him interesting and fascinatingly dangerous" "I recently became a certified student of Hilltop gun club during a freezing snow storm. I paid little attention when told that the instructors took everyone to the range regardless of the weather conditions. Shooting defensive handguns in a blinding, freezing to death, sideways snow storm under duress as part of the concealed carry training isn't for the faint of heart or weak. In this brutal yet beautiful training period, I was taken from an anxious man that had never shot a hand gun into an assertive and confident trained shooter that can hit my target. Thanks to the personal one-on-one, careful, safe, professional instruction, I am now much more assured of actually buying a handgun for my family and personal self protection. The CCW pistol course is supposed to be taught over 40 hours, however we got it in a brisk non-stop manner of 5 hours and then 3 hours of soul-wearing gun range training." I would recommend Kevin Martin as your instructor, as he is a caring, fantastic intense instructor." H. Legion Hilltop gun club, I want to thank you for the private training. It was concise, well presented information that I learned from. Our group experience was very fun and the catered food was absolutely delicious. We are jealous of Athens county inhabitants as you have the best little shops and restaurants available. We will come back this summer for the women's training program and look forward for another exciting weekend. In my best regards My first real experience with hand gun instruction and training happened here!!!!... I grew up in a pro gun / hunting family and learned to shoot at a young age. I recently began to take my personal safety and self defense seriously and started searching for help....Hence...I met Kevin, Chief weapons Instructor for the Hilltop Gun Club. In the course of a comprehensive shooting and evaluation session, He ( we) decided that I need much more instruction and practice in both safety and shooting techniques!..I was very happy to find that he was willing to begin work with me starting at whatever level of skill and knowledge that I currently have!...I was Lucky enough to attend and complete the Hill Top CCW course offered 12/12/15 and met John, the CCW Instructor!!...The knowledge, experience and expertise these men possess is very impressive!!!!.....Did I mention that I am a mature Woman who was treated with respect and encouraged every step of the way..???...This course was like nothing I have experienced before and I enjoyed the entire class!!!...( from the responsible expectations for hand gun use and carry laws to the actual hands- on shooting exercises!!!) Women are Welcome here!!!...This is the ONLY course I could highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn from real experts!!!...It is VERY intense..( even scary sometimes)...but is so worth the time and investment!!!!...I would encourage every woman to become better able to protect herself in any situation!!!...The many attacks on innocent people in this country makes this an important issue for us ALL!!!! This is NOT a walk in the park!!!...I find it both physically and mentally
challenging, yet quite satisfying at the same time!!!...I am learning more about
the club and courses offered and plan to attend as many as I can until I feel
completely confident and comfortable with my weapon and my ability to use it
properly!!!!!!...Many Thanks to the instructors for offering such a much needed
service to our community !!!!!!
