Shooting Classes
Whether you're picking up a firearm for the first time or building on an existing foundation, these courses develop real, practical skill — not just familiarity. All shooting classes are offered through NRA and USCCA curricula and taught by a California DOJ Certified CCW Instructor with a background in military combat, emergency response, and public safety.
Scheduling & Registration: Classes are booked through our USCCA instructor portal, where you can also view upcoming dates, pricing, and verified student reviews. The portal will open in a new window so you won't lose your place on this site.
