It is wise to find an instructor that can meet those needs and help one to attain their goals. When choosing the instructor and program that is right for you here are a few things to consider.
Safety-
Firearms safety is paramount. When choosing an instructor, the first thing that should be looked at is safety. Do they teach the fundamentals of safety first thing?
Reviews by Former Students-
Do a search online for reviews on a prospective instructor. See if there are any reviews by former students, and what they had to say about their experience.
Shooting Experience-
If you are looking for someone to teach you how to shoot, obviously it is important that
they have experience shooting.
I held a Concealed weapons permit from other states for 14 years. Have shot competitively for 13 years and have trained with firearms since I was a child. Thought I had nothing to learn from Rick, but was proven wrong. His class and instructor capabilities are top notch and I learned quite a few things from him ,his class, and at the shooting range. Great class and Great instructor , and a Great shooter. Would definitely recommend his classes to my friends and family members
