Wing Ler Firearms Training

Wingler Firearms Training was founded by Paul Wingler, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who holds NRA certification. The operation focuses on exactly what the name says: teaching firearms safety and competency through hands-on instruction and range work.

"Promoting Safety through Education; Building Confidence through Knowledge and Training"

Wingler's approach mirrors NRA methodology refined over 150+ years. Materials and training drills are continuously updated to reflect real-world defensive scenarios and situational awareness. Instructors emphasize practical, applicable skills—not just marksmanship, but understanding when and how to avoid conflict entirely.
