NOTE: WHY you train here with Laser Cartridges (not Laser Sights) in REAL Guns:
Expensive, toxic-lead "Live Fire" ammo with full noise and recoil will cause any student to flinch, and miss the target. You won't know if that's the cause, or if you need to fine-tune your Stance, Grip, Sight Alignment, Trigger Press, or what. By taking Noise and Recoil out of the equation, you can perfect these skills while developing "muscle memory." PLUS, you'll be able to shoot 6,000 laser "shots" for the same price as 50 lead bullets . . . right in your home!
There are dozens of ranges and hundreds of range masters who are happy to breeze you through a "live fire" shooting, but I've yet to meet another Certified Instructor who will dedicate a full day to actually train you to Shoot . . . with a Money Back Guarantee!
