Highlights

Certified, Focused Coaching
Lessons are led by a certified instructor—an experienced guide whose attention is devoted to a single student or a pair for the full hour, ensuring instruction is tailored and hands-on.
Fundamentals First
Instruction concentrates on core elements—grip, stance, sight picture and alignment, breath and trigger control—so the hour is spent building repeatable, safe technique rather than on crowded-range basics.
Private, One-Hour Sessions
The offering is a compact, private session available to one person or a pair, designed to deliver concentrated coaching and immediate practical feedback on the range.
