I've been instructing law enforcement and private citizens how to shoot for over 16 years. I specialize in teaching new shooters, women, young adults and folks looking to refresh a skill they once knew. I can teach handgun, rifle and shotgun shooting in a safe environment. Everyone has a right to self-defense.

The level of expertise that was shared for my class from my instructor made me feel incredibly confident on how to safely handle and shoot a firearm as a first time student.

As a first-time gun handler with absolutely no prior experience, I was nervous about attending a firearms class. However, from the moment the session began, my instructor, Arik, made all the difference. He was as wonderful, informative, and gentle as one could ever ask for.
Arik took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring I felt comfortable before even touching a firearm. His patience and approachable demeanor created a stress-free learning environment, which helped ease my initial apprehension. Safety was always the top priority, and he reinforced the fundamentals repeatedly without making me feel overwhelmed.
Throughout the class, Arik balanced professionalism with encouragement, making sure that each step—grip, stance, aiming, and firing—was properly understood before moving forward. His deep knowledge and expertise were evident in the way he provided clear guidance and corrections while instilling confidence in his students.
By the end of the session, I not only felt more knowledgeable about firearm safety and handling but also gained a newfound confidence in my ability to responsibly operate a firearm. If you’re a beginner looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and expert instructor, I highly recommend taking a class with Arik. It was an excellent experience that exceeded my expectations! - Eric Solomon·
