About
Please note that SSC does not provide equipment rentals.
Every gun owner should be proficent with their firearms. From how to maintain it properly, how to operate it safely and the appropriate storage and safety methods necessary to avoid any accidental discharges.
I take great pride in giving people the knowledge to be a responsible shooter.
Due to insurance and liability requirements, each student must own the firearm they will train with.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Start by discussing what types of firearms they own, what their intentions and goals are regarding marksmanship and how they plan to store their weapons.
Then we build a plan to achieve those goals in a safe and effective manner.
Due to insurance and liability requirements, we are unable to rent out firearms for training. SSC can make recommendations on the purchase, but the students must provide their own.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an NRA certified Range Safety Officer and have over 40 years of experience shooting many different types of firearms. From pistols to large caliber weapons in many different situations.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing is $35 per hour plus minimal range fees and ammunition costs.

Soldiers and civilians of all ages and skill levels. From 18 to 75.
