Veles Industries

Veles Industries is a firearms training organization founded in 2018 by Joe Dawson after he left service in the U.S. Navy. Drawing on experience in military service and the shooting sports, the brand offers training designed to help participants develop their skills through ongoing learning and practice. Its approach emphasizes that progress is not always linear: learners may face setbacks, adjust their methods, and begin again as they continue to refine their craft.

Veles Industries offers pistol, carbine, precision, scoped, and miscellaneous courses, with upcoming classes listed on its schedule. It also provides agency training, accepts requests for group classes, and offers private training lessons. Agencies can submit requests for group instruction, while individuals can contact the organization about available courses or other training needs. Beyond its classes, Veles Industries shares articles by Joe Dawson and presents special projects developed under the brand. Its website also includes course descriptions, partner information, and media resources, giving visitors ways to explore the organization’s work and training offerings.
