FIREARMS LESSONS
Never shot before? A little rusty?
Have you always wanted to feel more comfortable and confident using a firearm? Our private and semi-private firearm instruction for up to three people is designed for both beginners who don't even know where to start or those who haven't shot in a while and may need a little refresher. You will learn the rules of handgun safety, how to load and unload, how to operate each function, and how to shoot your handgun correctly.
These private sessions focus on you and expanding your confidence, knowledge, and capabilities. We will assess where you are in your journey, discuss your pain points, and push you to break through to new levels of firearms proficiency and mental fortitude.
Expert Instruction
As a firearms instructor certified by the California DOJ, NRA, and USCCA, I have trained extensively and continue to do so. I take pride in upholding the standards these organizations have entrusted to me to ensure my students learn safe and effective firearms handling.


Empowerment
Realize the life-long benefits of conquering personal obstacles while gaining and expanding your skills and confidence in using a firearm.
Private & Group Lessons
I believe personalized training is the best approach for new shooters who may feel more comfortable in a private setting rather than in a group and need more focused instruction. Every class is customized and designed to meet you where you are.
Accuracy & Proficiency
You'll learn how to shoot accurately and proficiently with a step-by-step process that guides you through basic handling, shooting stance and grip, aiming, and trigger control. You will leave the lesson feeling a new sense of confidence and personal pride, knowing you did it!
I signed my wife up for one of Kelly's classes. She never shot a pistol before. Kelly made her feel so comfortable, and she got all of her shots in the 8-inch ring - 100% for CCW! All thanks to the amazing Kelly!

I highly recommend Kelly's class. She is super informative and patient. She makes the class fun and engaging. My daughter and I will definitely be signing up for more classes!
