Will you teach my child one on one for basic firearms training?
Yes! Like many of you I have children and I have been teaching them all of their lives. My thought is to teach children how firearms work to have less curiosity if firearms are in the home. Therefore, I've not just taught my kids but they are trained. My children have been taught, firearm safety, mindset, basic pistol, basic rifle, and advanced skills such as cover, concealment, magazine changes, and applying tactics like slicing pies around corners. I always joked that he was more trained than the police department I worked for. Just contact us and we will meet your needs.
