TGT Gun Club

TGT Gun Club operates out of Philadelphia, PA and offers structured firearms training designed to build skills progressively—whether you're picking up a gun for the first time or refining existing abilities.

Basic Proficiency Training teaches safe handling, range etiquette, marksmanship basics, grip and trigger control through structured drills. Classes focus on building confidence through guided range time with personalized instruction from experienced firearms instructors.

Basic Shooting Skills & Marksmanship Proficiency takes shooters deeper into stance, grip techniques, sight alignment, and trigger control using hands-on supervised drills. Ammunition and targets are provided ($25 for members, $50 for non-members at King Shooters Supply).
