Why Choose Our Private Firearm Lessons in Florida

Private firearm lessons give you focused, one-on-one attention that group classes can’t offer. Your instructor adjusts every drill and technique based on your pace and ability. You’ll be able to ask questions freely, repeat specific exercises, and improve faster while staying completely safe.

As an NRA-certified instructor and fitness coach with decades of experience, I design lessons that fit your personal goals. Whether you’re training for self-defense, concealed carry, or professional development, your session will be customized for you.

Who These Lessons Are For

Private lessons are open to all experience levels:

For Beginners

If you’re new to firearms, our training starts from the ground up to help you build a strong and safe foundation. You’ll learn the four fundamental safety rules, how to identify firearm parts, and the right way to grip, aim, and fire. We’ll guide you through proper stance and recoil management so that every shot feels controlled and consistent.

You’ll also learn how to load, unload, and store your firearm safely, giving you the confidence to handle it at home or at the range. By the end of your first session, you’ll feel comfortable, responsible, and ready to continue your training journey.

For Experienced Shooters

If you already have shooting experience, we’ll focus on refining your technique and improving efficiency under pressure. You’ll work on tightening shot groups, improving trigger discipline, and maintaining accuracy during rapid fire. Our drills include drawing from concealment, target transitions, and defensive movement to simulate real-life encounters.

We’ll also cover stress-based training to help you make quick, accurate decisions when seconds matter most. Each session helps you strengthen your performance while identifying areas for continued improvement.

For Advanced Students

For advanced shooters looking to push their limits, our training introduces tactical and scenario-based drills that go beyond the basics. You’ll work through low-light shooting situations, moving target drills, and vehicle-based defense scenarios. Training also includes shoot-and-move techniques, use of cover and concealment, and decision-making under simulated high-stress conditions.

We integrate situational awareness and threat assessment to help you think tactically while maintaining precision. These lessons prepare you for complex, unpredictable situations where control and confidence are key.

What You’ll Learn in Your Private Firearm Training

Each lesson focuses on practical skills you can use in real-life situations. Depending on your experience and goals, training may include:

  1. Drawing from Concealment
    Learn to safely and efficiently draw your firearm from a concealed holster to respond quickly to threats.
  2. Performing Fast, Safe Magazine Changes
    Master smooth reloads that minimize downtime and keep you ready during defensive situations.
  3. Shooting While Moving
    Practice engaging targets accurately while maintaining movement, improving agility and reaction under pressure.
  4. Using Cover and Concealment Effectively
    Understand how to position yourself behind barriers and use your surroundings for maximum protection.
  5. Engaging from Vehicles
    Train for realistic encounters involving vehicle exits, defensive angles, and safe firearm handling inside cars.
  6. Training for Gas Station and Restaurant Scenarios
    Develop situational awareness and defensive tactics for common public spaces where threats may occur.
  7. Hostage and Precision Shooting Drills
    Enhance your accuracy and decision-making with advanced drills focused on precision and target discrimination.
  8. Rifle-to-Pistol Transitions
    Learn how to switch between primary and secondary weapons smoothly during tactical operations.
  9. Combining Hand-to-Hand Combat with Firearm Use
    Build the ability to defend yourself in close quarters before safely transitioning to your firearm.

Our training focuses on real-world defensive readiness, not just static range shooting. You’ll learn how to think, move, and respond under pressure with safety as your top priority. For females, we also have a separate Empowher firearms training course
