If you are a beginner, you can become a competent defensive handgun, shotgun, or rifle operator and shooter when you train privately with one of our expert NRA Certified Firearms Instructors. From the beginning, we will help you acquire good shooting habits. If you are an experienced shooter, we will diagnose your shooting problems and bad habits, and we will help you correct them so you can become a better shooter.

You will learn at your own pace and devote more time to what you need to work on the most.
All of our firearm instructors are NRA Certified and have years of experience as firearms trainers. Most of our instructors also have real armed combat experience either from being in the Military or in Law Enforcement. Those who do not, have many years of dedication to shooting, the shooting sports, and armed self defense, as well as extensive teaching experience. All of our instructors are currently civilians and do not teach in a rigid military or law enforcement style. Instruction is geared to civilian self defense.
Learn to shoot better. Develop the knowledge, skills and mindset to be prepared and ready to defend yourself should the need arise. Become one with your defensive gun.
