What is F.A.S.T?
FAST (Firearm Safety & Training) is an introductory class designed to provide actors with the knowledge and capabilities required to handle firearms safely, and confidently on set.
Here at Caliber, we’re firm believers that safety, is not a luxury. It’s a necessity. Everyone has the right to feel safe, and be safe on set.
Firearms training for actors is essential to becoming a master of your trade. Not only is it important to look organic on screen with weapons handling, but it’s important to understand what you should, and shouldn’t be doing in-between scenes.
It goes without saying, that firearms are dangerous, possibly the most dangerous tool ever created by mankind. The mishandling and neglect of firearms can lead to catastrophic consequences, as the film Industry has clearly, and unfortunately demonstrated.
Our mission here at Caliber is simple. All actors, of all calibers, should have access to basic weapon safety education, and training. That’s why we’re providing the Yorkshire acting scene with affordable, accessible and authentic firearms training classes, designed with the local-actor in mind.
Our Firearms training classes for actors are held in the creative heart of Halifax, West Yorkshire, at Dean Clough.
