Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I typically host a phone call to get to know the student's training goals and talk about their experience in handling firearms. We then talk about the different class options from online firearm safety seminars to in-class and on the range live firing sessions.
Once we are at the class, we focus on firearm safety and the shooting fundamentals. We would go through how to handle the firearms, how to take the pistol/rifle apart and put it back together so students can develop hands-on intimate knowledge of how the machine works. This also helps students to become more comfortable in their firearms.
For students who may not have their own firearm, one will be provided for use during the class. I also help students to understand the different firearm options to help them select one that can be a best fit for their usage application.
I teach at Shooting Sports Northwest in Bothell, maps/directions. If students have access to a range that allows certified and insured firearms instructors, I am also happy to come teach at your range.
