We can train from one to six people at your location. If you are a woman requesting solo training, your instructor will bring his wife, so that you feel safe and comfortable.

There is a world of difference between shooting on a farm, hunting, or even competing in a pistol match, with actual self-defense.

Self-defense requires a blazingly fast draw combined with a high degree of accuracy. And most of all, superior tactics. And if you don't know the self-defense laws like the back of your hand, you can end up in prison.

People who have trained themselves to shoot by whatever method, a parent, a friend, or YouTube videos, can only advance so far. The majority of the time, they develop a lot of bad habits that are hard to break. These mistakes dramatically slow down their draw, and destroy their accuracy.

So, they practice a lot of mistakes, and wonder why they never get any better.

We teach using both methods.

First, how good are you at absorbing rehems of new information that is being thrown at you at a high rate?

With private training you'll be taught at the rate that you can learn and absorb. You'll have the ability to ask all of the questions that you have, as they pop into your mind.

If you are good at absorbing new information, then group training may be the right path for you.
