Frequently Asked Questions
What course should I take if I'm new to firearms?
We recommend starting with our NRA Basics of Pistol course. It is specifically designed for beginners and covers everything from safety fundamentals to responsible ownership in a welcoming, low-pressure environment.
Do I need my own firearm?
No, you do not need to own a firearm to begin training. We provide firearm rentals for our beginner courses. If you are planning to purchase one, we can provide guidance on selecting the right platform for your needs.
What is required for California CCW certification?
California requires a state-mandated training course including classroom instruction and a live-fire qualification. Applicants must also undergo a background check and meet the local issuing agency's specific criteria.

Yes, we offer personalized one-on-one firearms instruction. These sessions are tailored to your experience level and specific goals, providing a highly effective way to build skills quickly.
What should I bring to training?
Students should bring a valid ID, comfortable clothing, and closed-toe shoes. If you are using your own firearm, ensure it is transported safely and legally according to California law.
