The Standard 1775
THE STANDARD 1775
Our Philosophy
The Commitment to Being Prepared
Not a trend. Not entertainment. A standard — rooted in this nation’s founding and carried forward by the patient work of mastering what matters.
Why 1775
The Founding Era Was No Accident
1775 marks more than the first shots of a war. It marks the moment ordinary people — farmers, tradesmen, pastors, fathers — took personal responsibility for their families and their neighbors’ freedom. They didn’t wait for someone else. They prepared, equipped themselves, and were ready when the moment came.
“To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms.”
— Richard Henry Lee, 1788
These ideas were never meant to be complicated. The First Amendment protects your voice; the Second protects your ability to keep everything else. We teach from them plainly — and that same spirit shapes everything we do.
What Preparation Gives You
A Calmer Way to Move Through the World
When you carry with real training behind it, something quiet changes. The day grows lighter. The steady hum of “what if” begins to fade — not because you’ve grown careless, but because you’ve done the work. You’re no longer solving a problem in the moment. You carried the answer in long before you needed it.
That’s what we hope to give you: not restlessness looking for trouble, but the steady presence in the room — prepared when it matters, at ease when it doesn’t. That kind of confidence is earned through honest repetition, never simply assumed the day a firearm is purchased.
That work begins with the fundamentals — and that begins with a conversation.
The Three Pillars
Armed ◆ Fit ◆ Fed
No one is truly prepared when only one of these is in place. The three hold each other up.
IArmed
Weapons Proficiency
Real knowledge, steady confidence, practical skill — so a critical moment is one you’ve already rehearsed. Owning a firearm and being ready to use one wisely are two different things. We close that distance.
IIFit
Physical Readiness
A body that answers when you ask. Strength and conditioning aren’t about appearance — they’re about capability. When you need to move quickly, or carry someone you love to safety, your body shouldn’t be what fails you.
IIIFed
Nutrition & Recovery
Eat well, sleep well, and you’ll shoot well. Simple — and the part most people skip. Sound nutrition and honest recovery keep you sharp in mind and strong in body. No one performs near their best on empty.
“
Eat well, sleep well, shoot well. Move through the world with a strong body — and move quickly when you have to. That’s nearly everything you need.
— Andrew, Founder of The Standard 1775
How We Train
We Meet You Where You Are
Not a video channel, and not a course built to break you down. This is personal instruction shaped around you — your pace, your gaps, your goals.
When a drill isn’t working, we don’t push harder and call you weak. We pause, take a breath, and ask what’s actually happening. Then we take it apart gently — grip, stance, trigger — one piece at a time. We build on what’s working and patiently correct what isn’t.
You won’t find a drill sergeant here. I want your questions, and I welcome your disagreement — that’s how a person truly understands a thing.
— Andrew
The one thing we can’t work around is pride. Come ready to be a beginner again, however far you’ve come. That openness, more than talent, is the real standard.
The Long Road
There Are No Shortcuts
No course, no gadget, no three-month program replaces consistent practice over time. Marksmanship is a lifelong skill — it fades when neglected and grows remarkably when tended with care.
At minimum, live fire once a month. But the thing most people skip matters even more — dry practice. Done faithfully, it shapes nearly everything:
Trigger control and a clean, deliberate reset
Magazine changes, worked until they’re calm under pressure
Moving to cover, and away from it, with intention
Taking a knee, looking out, recovering behind cover
Walking the mind through real decisions
We move through an honest progression — beginner, intermediate, advanced. And here’s what most instructors won’t say plainly: many who feel “intermediate” become beginners again the moment stress is added. That’s no insult. Seeing it clearly is the first step to changing it.
Your Instructor
Andrew
Founder, The Standard 1775
ServiceU.S. Army, 1st Ranger Battalion — 10 years
DeploymentsMultiple — dynamic combat operations
FocusTeam leadership & individual skill
CertificationRange Safety Officer — USCCA
LocationChattanooga, Tennessee
Ten years in the Army, all with the 1st Ranger Battalion, and more deployments than most people will ever fully understand. Andrew came home from dynamic combat with one clear conviction: his real calling was to teach.
What he valued most was never what he did downrange — it was what he built in the people beside him. The patient hours as a team leader, taking a skill apart until someone owned it, then watching them carry it through under real pressure. He learned what few instructors reach: the discipline of holding fire matters as much as the discipline of using it.
That decade of hard-won, field-tested skill stands behind every session — along with the patience to pass it on at whatever pace you need. And if cost is a barrier, reach out. There are options built for the everyday person, because being prepared was always meant to belong to everyone.
Who This Work Is For
The Kind of Student Who Thrives Here
We train every level — from first-time carriers to seasoned competitors. What stays the same isn’t skill. It’s the spirit you bring through the door.
Set Aside Your Pride
No rank or résumé excuses any of us from the fundamentals. The students who grow most arrive ready to learn, as if it were day one.
Ask Freely
When something’s unclear, say so. A question left unspoken is how a poor habit quietly takes hold.
Walk the Long Road
This skill isn’t gained in a season. It asks far more of your patience than your speed.
Know Yourself Honestly
Most of us overestimate how we’ll perform under pressure. Seeing yourself clearly is where every real improvement begins.
The Everyday Citizen
Men and women who carry, or hope to carry responsibly — this was built for you first.
The Competitor
Speed without precision accomplishes little. Move at full pace and we’ll find the one adjustment that matters most.

Find Your Starting Point
Honest instruction at a fair price. If none of these fit your budget, call — we’ll build something that does.
