Tina Francone, their senior firearms instructor, has trained hundreds of kids—including 200+ Boy Scouts a day as former Valley District Rangemaster. Their approach: kids learn the same three rules as adults and actually retain them. They've run youth programs without a single injury.

"Most folks assume kids can't learn how to be safe with firearms. But kids are eager to learn. When you teach them the same things adults learn—they get it. They want to shoot more than they want to misbehave." — Tina Francone, Senior Instructor

Multiple NRA Certified instructors on staff including: - Michael (former Marine, highly rated by students) - Frank (owner, contact for scheduling) - Tina (senior instructor, Boy Scout rifle/shotgun merit badge counselor) - NRA Chief Range Safety Officer on staff

Customer feedback consistently mentions small class sizes, personalized attention, and instructors who actually engage with individual questions rather than lecture.
