Average Joes was built by folks who wanted to help bridge the growing gap between the “average” gun owner and seasoned, proficient shooters. Jimmy and his cadre of instructors at Average Joes have spent the last few years working to narrow this training and proficiency gap, and they’ve done it by creating an environment where learning is paramount and egos are kept off the firing line. The org has grown exponentially, with events popping up all over the United States each year.

We caught up with them in the blazing heat outside of Waxahachie, TX at Extreme Tactics & Training Solutions to check in on the movement, where we found an incredible turnout of shooters from diverse backgrounds. At an Average Joes event, there’s full kit, no kit and everything in between out on the range. The movement known as Average Joes is truly about shared knowledge, with shooters of all skill levels falling in shoulder-to-shoulder, listening intently to the helpful instructors who have come from all over the country to teach good habits and quell the bad ones.

Welcome To Average Joes

The atmosphere is relaxed and supportive with an emphasis on fun and inclusion. Instructors take the time to teach and spend the down time between evolutions talking with the attendees. As a result, there are zero bad attitudes. With the explosion of new gun owners over the last few years, events like these are an excellent way to provide concentrated education and bring more people up to a higher level of safety and proficiency.
