One-on-One Training Options
In addition to the Group Training options listed below, we also specialize in one-on-one training sessions, where we adopt a customer-first philosophy: whatever you want or need to work on, that's where we focus the training.
For example, in Hillside Basic Pistol below, you work with your instructor to dedicate the entire session to a particular skill or technique, it's up to you -- our job is to create a safe, controlled environment for you to learn more about your firearm, and yourself.
