My private shooting lesson was so much more than I expected. It started with classroom instruction, showed me how to asseble a gun, safety instructions, how to shoot, and how to load and unload ammunition. But what was more valuable than basic instruction was the shift in mindset and breaking down parasigms and stigma around gun ownership. I left empowered and educated. I had no experience and I left feeling powerful and have a new respect for firearms.

I’ve been a member for a few years now and recently was able to join their steel target shooting event. Stephen and Eric were great tutors, their empathy, enthusiasm, clear communication and knowledge made a huge difference. Furthermore, the engaging personality and best practices shared by the Team turned this event basically into a private class on how to become a better shooter, plus all the fun of these types of courses.
