Docs Precision Firearms Training

Doc's Precision Firearms Training operates in Florence, Sumter, and Darlington through partnerships with local ranges. Founded in August 2021 as Doc & Twelve LLC and reorganized in December 2022, the business has trained over 140 students in its first year of operation.

The instructor is a medical doctor who became a licensed concealed carrier 17 years ago. His approach is straightforward: just owning a firearm doesn't make you safe. Skill, confidence, and self-discipline do. He commits to regular training and pushes his own firearms skills specifically to educate the community about firearm safety and proper usage.
