Unsure what to buy? You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Already own a firearm but don’t know how to use it?

We can help with that, too. Owning a firearm does not mean you automatically feel comfortable with it. Whether it is your first firearm or one you have owned for years, you can start with the basics and ask questions without feeling judged.

Beginner instruction can help you become familiar with your firearm’s controls and basic operation, safe handling and secure storage. Tell us what you own and what you would like help understanding when you contact us.

Start where you are.

No prior experience is needed to begin a conversation. Let us know whether you are considering a purchase, recently bought a firearm or want help becoming more familiar with one you already own.

  • Discuss your questions and concerns.
  • Explore safety education and beginner instruction.
  • Confirm the format, location, equipment arrangements and whether your appointment includes range instruction.

Let’s plan your next step.

Call or text us before buying a firearm or scheduling instruction. We will discuss your goals, current pricing, availability and what to bring. Confirm equipment and arrival instructions before attending.

Firearm purchases and transfers are handled through licensed firearm dealers. Our service provides training, education and purchase guidance.
