Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
One of the most effective personality traits you can have that will help you with firearms is confidence. Many are nervous to approach a firearm let alone shoot one. That's why I'm focused on providing instruction that is calm and comfortable to ease people into what it truly means to own a firearm. I'm focused on providing the student a good foundation that will make them effective and most importantly safe.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
6 years in the Army with 1 combat deployment to Afghanistan.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing depends on the location, training program, time, and weapon selection & ammo required, and range fees. Below is an estimate for 1 student:
$150 - Pistol Begnineer ( A pistol instruction focused on using your pistol at home for defense within the home).
$175 - Pistol CCW (A pistol instruction focused on using your pistol as an everyday carry).
$200 - Shotgun & Rifle Begnineer (A mixed class going over the use of Shotguns and Rifles within the home).
$225 - Advanced Shotgun & Rifle (A instruction focused on the use of shotguns & rifles in a combat environment).
$250 - Advanced Small Arms (A holistic approach to Pistol, Shotgun, and Rifle with the focus on training stressed shootings).
What types of students have you worked with?
I prefer smaller groups to ensure property saftey protocols and undivided attention.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Owning a firearm is a lifestyle. Are you prepared to use it if the event presents itself? Are you committed to training with the firearm frequently?
