I am a NRA certified firearms instructor currently serving the Northern Finger Lakes Region of New York State. I am qualified to teach the entire PISTOL discipline of the NRA shooting courses: Basic, F.I.R.S.T. Steps, Home Firearm Safety, Personal Protection Inside the Home, Personal Protection Outside the Home, Advanced Personal Protection, and am also certified by the DCJS to teach NYS self-defense and use-of-force laws. I myself became familiar with firearms through professional instruction and have had to learn like most of my students - from the ground, up. Come learn what many do not, that, "Knowing when to shoot is just as important as knowing how."
