Purpose-Driven Defensive Firearms Training in Colorado

A Higher Standard in Firearms Training

I68 Consulting Group provides purpose-driven defensive firearms training built on experience, discipline, and responsibility—not hype or shortcuts.

We don’t compare ourselves to other training companies. We set the standard.

That standard was shaped through decades of leadership and real-world responsibility, where preparation mattered and accountability was non-negotiable. The I68 Standard exists for individuals who take personal protection, family safety, and community responsibility seriously.

Green Beret–Led Instruction With Perspective

I68 Instructors are Green Berets with over 120 years of combined Special Forces experience, including leadership roles in high-pressure environments.

That experience informs how we teach—but it doesn’t replace continued learning. Our instructors actively train, study, and refine their skills, learning from others when appropriate. Humility, adaptability, and continuous improvement are foundational to the I68 Standard.

Defensive Training With Purpose

Every I68 course is built around defensive shooting principles that translate beyond the range and are proven to hold up under stress—not scripted drills designed to satisfy a requirement.

These principles aren’t theoretical. I68 instructors have applied them in real-world environments and have taught them to military and law enforcement units around the world.

Our training emphasizes safe and efficient gun-handling, sound decision-making under stress, practical techniques, and accountability for every action. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced shooter, our goal is the same: to make you a more capable and responsible protector.

This is not competition shooting.
This is not surface-level CCW instruction.
This is training for real life.

More Than a Course

At I68, you’re not just a student for a day.

When you train with us, you become part of the I68 Family—a community built on trust, shared values, and long-term relationships. Training continues beyond the range through fellowship, continued education, and a culture that values people over transactions.

The I68 Standard

The I68 Standard is defined by quiet professionalism, humility backed by competence, continuous improvement, responsibility to family and community, and training that means something.

If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place.
