Michael Taylor

I’m a veteran that served both in the U.S. Air Force and the Army National Guard. I decided to become a firearms safety instructor once my grandkids were old enough and started to show an interest in learning to shoot. I wanted to be sure I was teaching them the right way and not the way my dad taught me, or his dad taught him. I first became an NRA certified Pistol Instructor and Chief Range Safety Officer in 2023. I also received my Minnesota DNR Youth Firearms Safety Instructor certification at that time. I have since become a USCCA instructor as my area of interest has changed to a more defensive style of shooting and training. I hold USCCA certifications in Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals, Children's Firearms & Safety Fundamentals, Women's Handgun & Self-Defense Fundamentals, Countering the Mass Shooter Threat, and Emergency First Aid Fundamentals.
