Spitfire Firearms Training

Spitfire Firearms Training operates with a straightforward philosophy: serious subjects deserve a welcoming environment. The instructors—Nate, Ellen, and John—aren't running a mill. They care about watching students grow and understand they're capable.

John brings 37 years of teaching and 19 years in law enforcement. Ellen came to firearms later in life and knows how intimidating training can feel—that experience shapes how she teaches. Nate focuses on helping students gain the skills to defend themselves and their loved ones.

The instructors have over 1,000 hours of certified education in self-defense and related training. They're students themselves—constantly pursuing continuing education. That depth shows in how they teach.

Their blog covers the real stuff: dry fire training fundamentals, bad self-defense advice debunked, carry methods, gear selection, and when pepper spray might actually be smarter than a firearm.
