Questions, Answered
Still curious? Reach out — John would rather answer a question than have you guess.
Ask Us AnythingThat's exactly who private lessons are built for. We start with safety, handling, and stance before a single round is fired — at a pace that builds real confidence, never pressure.
No. Loaner firearms, eye and ear protection, targets, and ammunition can be provided. [TODO: confirm what's included vs. add-on pricing.] Bring your own setup if you'd prefer to train on it.
We start with a conversation about your mission — defense, range, hunting, competition — then spec optics, trigger, furniture, and finish to match. You approve the plan and pricing before any work begins. [TODO: FFL/transfer details.]
Sessions run in Beaufort & the SC Lowcountry. Exact range location is shared on booking. [TODO: confirm range/location details.]
Book a lesson through the calendar, or start a custom-weapon request and John will reach out to scope your build. Two paths, one standard: train, focus, protect.
