You own or carry a firearm because protecting yourself and your family matters. Responsible firearm ownership requires more than equipment or a concealed carry permit. It requires safe handling, practical skill, sound judgment, and continued training.

Trace Armory Group is a veteran-owned firearms training company helping responsible citizens become confident, capable, and accountable protectors. We provide professional instruction for both newer shooters and experienced firearm owners.

Training is offered at two Central North Carolina locations:

New Hill, North Carolina, at Woody’s Rifle Club, serving Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Durham, Chapel Hill, Sanford, and surrounding Triangle communities.

Derby, North Carolina, at Eastwood Outfitters Range near Pinehurst, serving Southern Pines, Aberdeen, Carthage, West End, Rockingham, and the Sandhills.

Our courses include North Carolina Concealed Carry Certification, Defensive Handgun, Carbine, Shotgun, Precision Rifle, handgun optics, low-light training, and NRA Instructor Certification.

Every class emphasizes safe firearm handling, practical defensive skills, measurable improvement, and responsible decision-making.

You do not need to arrive as an expert. You need a willingness to learn, improve, and train with purpose.

Confidence comes from competence.
