Rheinland Farms Armory
RHEINLAND FARMS ARMORY is located on 150 acres of rural farmland in western Morgan County Missouri, between the towns of Cole Camp and Stover. Here RFA offers comprehensive firearms instruction programs designed to develop within the students the knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to operate, carry and use modern firearms safely, responsibly, and confidently.
The Students
AS a minimum general requirement, we require that all students be at least 18 years of age. For the Missouri CCW course we require that all students be at least 19 years of age. For pistol/handgun courses in which we provide a handgun for the student’s use, we require that the student be at least 21 years of age.

He is also a Firearms Safety Instructor certified by the State of Missouri to teach the Course required as part of the application process for the Missouri CCW permit. Mr. Murphy’s background, experience, training, and certifications are summarized in detail in the section titled “Instructor.”
Our Philosophy
WE teach small sized classes because we want to be in a position to really teach each and every student to be confident, skilled, and safe in their use of firearms. We want to be in a position to provide each student personalized instruction resulting in their thorough understanding of all the elements of the level of shooting that their course covers. We strive to personally observe and assess each student’s level of performance of the shooting skills, so as to then work to assist them in improving those skills.
WE teach small sized classes because we have found that the students do so much better in the smaller size class. They interact with each other, they actively ask more questions, they respond positively to the instructor’s guidance, and the classes are just more fun and enjoyable for everyone involved.
WE enjoy teaching classes made up of unrelated individuals, couples, and family groups. We especially enjoy offering instruction to “ladies only” classes. The ladies in these classes do well, learn quickly, and seem to really enjoy the empowering experience.
