• •Outdoor Range: No indoor range stress, no noise complaints. You can focus on skill building in a relaxed setting.

• •Versatile Training: Range targets are both stationary and moving. Drills adapt to your comfort level and goals—whether you're learning gun basics or prepping for an advanced qualification.

• •Post-Constitutional Carry: Louisiana became a constitutional carry state July 4, 2024, but Duayne strongly recommends his CCW class anyway for the legal knowledge on interstate carry requirements and state-specific laws.

Motto: "I believe in the success of the student to learn and excel, to gain confidence in the use of a firearm and to know when and how to use it."
