Course includes use and handling of all firearms, ammo and safety gear (eyes as ears protection).

What We'll Teach

Defensive Shooting Fundamentals

This lesson will continue with the basics, including a very visual overview of what we call the “building blocks” or the fundamentals for accurate and safe shooting. Within this lesson, Michael Martin will explain the differences between the skills required for being a good “marksman” at the range, and the skills that might be required to save your life if you are ever the subject of a violent attack.

Additional Notes from Your Instructor

This experience will introduce you to .22, 380, 9mm and .45 caliber firearms from compact to full size. A 15 minute introductory call is required to learn about your skill level and goals.

"This was my first time ever shooting live rounds at the range, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor than Perry. The session was one-on-one, which made a huge difference. He took his time, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. What really stood out was that he let me try multiple firearms and explained the differences between each one so I could understand how they function and what felt right for me. He didn’t just teach me how to shoot — he built my confidence in handling a firearm safely and responsibly. I left feeling encouraged, more confident, and much more capable than when I walked in. The training reinforced everything I learned in my concealed carry class and helped it truly stick. I’m genuinely looking forward to taking more courses that he teaches and definitely see him becoming a mentor as I continue building my shooting skills. If you’re new to shooting or want quality, patient, hands-on instruction, Perry is absolutely the person to train with."

"Hi Jan - Thank you for the incredibly thoughtful review. It was a pleasure working with you and being part of your first live-fire experience. I was especially impressed with how quickly you grasped the fundamentals and applied them with focus and intention — that mindset is what builds real skill and long-term confidence. You approached the training with the right balance of curiosity, respect, and responsibility, and it showed in your progress on the range. I’m glad the session helped reinforce what you learned in your concealed carry class and made it stick. I look forward to working with you again and continuing to build your skills safely and confidently. I’m always here to support your journey. Stay safe."
