San Diego Firearms Instructor

Amos Zolna brings military precision and real-world responsibility to firearms training. As a former Israeli Defense Forces soldier and NRA-certified instructor with 10+ years of teaching experience, he focuses entirely on home and personal defense—not competition shooting or theoretical tactics.

Basics of Pistol Shooting ($295) covers foundational safety, proper handling and storage, and includes an indoor range session. This is where beginners start—comprehensive safety instruction based on NRA curriculum.

Home Defense Training and Tactics ($325) moves into intermediate work: home defense scenarios, tactical movement and positioning, threat assessment, and decision-making under pressure. This course builds practical skills on top of safety fundamentals.

Advanced Training Techniques ($350) is for students ready for complex scenarios, dynamic shooting, and mastery-level awareness. Real-world home defense situations get practiced in outdoor tactical settings.

"After 20 years of shooting, I still learned valuable techniques from the personal instruction. True professional dedicated to client proficiency." — Robert K., Verified Client

Unlike generic courses, every program emphasizes safety as the foundation—not an afterthought. Amos regularly creates educational content (videos on basic safety, advanced techniques, tactical movement, scenario training) available on the website. He offers both scheduled Sunday classes and weekday sessions by appointment.

Flexibility in scheduling matters: Beginners, intermediate shooters, and advanced students can all find their level. Private one-on-one instruction is available, and Amos discusses goals with each student before recommending a course.

Based in San Diego, California. Training held outdoors at a desert range. Courses run every Sunday plus weekdays by request.
