Firearms Training
The primary objective of firearms training is to familiarize newly hired ATF special agents in the safe and effective use of Bureau issued weapon systems including handguns, long guns and shotguns.
Newly hired special agents receive approximately 100 hours of firearms training during Special Agent Basic Training (SABT) in the areas of marksmanship, tactical and judgment shooting. Trainees receive instruction in the areas of Tactical Marksmanship, Concealed Carry, Tactical Marksmanship On The Move, Flying Armed and Low Light Tactical Shooting.
Trainees will be required to score a minimum of 80percent on the ATF Practical Pistol Course with their issued Bureau handgun in two consecutive qualifications.
