Firearms Safety & Defense
About
Most start out with big company & work off a script. Well in my 14+ years of experience I've learned for amateur & novice shooters there is no one size fits all class. I do one on one & small group classes based on what a customer needs... if needed to start very small, we can literally start with a BB gun in a back yard or a 22 at the range.
I love helping people with tips & tricks I've learned in my Military career & from life's experience, that no one extended to me when I started shooting.
