When Help Is Minutes Away, Be Ready in Seconds. Train Like Lives Depend on It— Because They Do.
Private & Group Firearm Training for All Skill Levels
At Suburban Protector, we believe preparedness is the key to personal safety. Our mission is simple: to equip everyday suburban men and women with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to defend themselves, their families, and their communities.
Self-defense isn’t target practice.
Shooting at a paper target in a static environment is one thing—responding under stress in a real-life situation is something entirely different. That’s why our training goes far beyond the basics. We focus on defensive handgun tactics designed for the real world, where split-second decisions and situational awareness can make all the difference. We offer training at our private outdoor range in Okeechobee, FL and multiple indoor ranges in Palm Beach and Broward counties.

Mike is super knowledgeable and talented. Made me feel safe using a gun in multiple real life scenarios and I’m so lucky to have found this gun training. I am now extremely comfortable with my concealed carry and would recommend that anyone willing to learn to go train with Suburban Protectors.

Learning different techniques in real life situations and having fun is a plus. Backup Tactical2025-02-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First of all Mike (Suburban Protector) is a very talented shooter and competitor in his right. His accuracy and speed and very impressive and his scores are always right up in the top. Over the years in the shooting world he has gained an incredible amount of knowledge and experience by taking courses and learning from some of the best instructors out there. He is so good working with and teaching people, that he effortlessly passes on all this valuable knowledge to his students. It is like taking a class with all the great instructors rolled into one. If you are serious about learning to shoot, protecting yourself and your loved ones, there are few people I would trust to teach that. Mike is definitely on that very short list.
