​Want to get into Shooting but don't know where to begin?
Have a firearm but want to know how to use it more accurately and efficiently?
Want to obtain your Concealed Weapons License (CWL) for FL?

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. 


​Florida Class G
​"Pre-qual" Course
​

This class prepares Security Officer and Private Investigator candidates for the hands on shooting  portion of the ​Florida Class "G" License. 
Many candidates for the Class G do not have the firearms handling skills needed to pass the class on the first try. This course builds the shooting skills those candidates need to pass the qual.

This IS NOT a 28 hour initial or 4 hour annual qualification required by FL Statute 493. 



This is not an NRA-Approved Course!
