As a NRA Certified Instructor in various disciplines I offer an array of different classes. Passing one of the following classes allows you to apply for your CWL for FL.
​
​Check out the details below. 


​Competitive Pistol Introduction
​

This class prepares the student for shooting competitions whether your game is IDPA, USPSA, Steel Challenge, or Bulls-eye!
Participation in the class also includes a coaching session at a competition shooting event of your choosing.​ 

It does not matter if you are a Novice or Expert Class shooter or have never handled a firearm before, this class will help you learn the skills and secrets that the others won't teach you!
