FTS Firearm Training

FTS Firearm Training exists for people who are worried about safely handling a gun, unsure about concealed carry, or nervous about their first time at the range. The mission is straightforward: empower individuals to become confident and responsible gun owners.

Instructor Patrick Daniels runs small-group and one-on-one sessions tailored to where you actually are—whether that's "never held a firearm before" or "want to refine my technique." He's a continuous student of the trade and actively engages in ongoing training to handle any situation that comes up at the range or in public.

• •First-Time Shooter Courses – Designed for people with zero experience. Patrick breaks down safety, handling fundamentals, and range etiquette without rush or judgment
• •Concealed Carry Instruction – For people unsure about carrying responsibly
• •Handgun Fundamentals – One-on-one or small groups covering safety, practical shooting, and decision-making
• •Personal Training Sessions – Customized instruction based on your goals and concerns

"Patrick really took the time to break down concepts and answer questions. I learn something new every time." – Kelly D.

Repeated feedback from students centers on three things: Patrick's patience with anxious beginners, his willingness to answer every question without making people feel rushed or judged, and his genuine passion for teaching firearms safety.

One student who had never held a weapon described how Patrick made her "feel extra special and confident" when she got nervous—not by glossing over concerns, but by walking through them carefully. Another mentioned the one-on-one environment removed reluctance to ask questions due to embarrassment in front of other students.

Patrick's approach is calm, professional, and safety-first. He explains things thoroughly, corrects mistakes gently so you can learn from them, and never talks down to students—whether they're complete novices or experienced shooters looking to build new skills.
