​You Deserve And Should Demand Nothing Less Than The Best Training Available. ​Nationally Recognized NRA Certified Courses And Instructors. ​Lead Instructors - Joe & Cam Alati​.
​
Learning the proper handling and use of a firearm is an important responsibility. That said, if you take a course anywhere regardless if it cost $10, $20, $50, $100 or more or whether it is 2 hours long, 4 hours long, 8 hours long or more, please make sure that you are knowledgeable and comfortable in handling a pistol by the time the class has ended.
​
Please call us to continue your education by learning how to shoot when you receive your license/permit and your new pistol/handgun. We are NRA Certified Phase 2 Instructors and we look forward to training you on the range with NRA Live Fire Qualifications. Any and all of your shooting requirements will be addressed and tailored to your specific individual needs or wants.

And remember, even if you know someone or some people who might be able to start you in guns, consider this: the National Rifle Association has been teaching people how to shoot since 1871. There are many ways of instructing that don’t work too well and you might run into some of these.  Many people who have a background in guns mean well, but they don’t have the training to teach you in ways that will best serve your development.  We work hard to maximize your benefit by conducting many tried and true courses to the actual NRA standards and with the  highest level of respect conveyed to the student.

The NRA Phase 2 Shooting Course is now required in Lewis County within 6 months of getting your Pistol Permit. I came back and took this range qualification class with Joe and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Truthfully, I think most everyone should come back for this affordable and beneficial second class.

Being an avid lifelong hunter, I thought I knew it all. I learned a few more things than I thought I would. This is a real world course.

I know now, that there are no such things as accidents. If your gun goes off and it is not suppose to, somebody is negligent...YOU!

The last class that I was forced to take was for boating safety, and for a lack of better words, it was simply dull and redundant. Joe's class is upbeat and interesting.
