Instruction topics include but not limited to:
The handgun is the most popular self-defense weapon. Simply buying a gun doesn't mean you are armed. I can help you with everything from fitting the pistol to your hand, holster selection, introduction to the weapon, drawing from the holster, and shooting in the dark. I will tailor your training to your level of knowledge and experience.
AR-15 Level 1 Introduction and Manipulation will teach you everything you need to know about your AR from disassembly and reassembly, to shooting fundamentals.
AR-15 Level 2 Practical Rifle will teach you how to use your rifle effectively. Learning everything from proper use of cover and concealment, conducting reloads, and clearing malfunctions will increase your confidence and skills.
The shotgun is sometimes discounted as an effective home defense tool. To the contrary, the right shotgun, when used correctly, with the appropriate ammunition, can be a significant addition to your home defense security plan.
Home Defense Shotgun Level 2 will teach you how to use cover and concealment, conduct reloads, and use alternate firing positions and techniques.
Q- How long does your training take?
A- I will tailor your training to your environment. Normally between 1.5 to 3 hours.
Q- What if my company has multiple locations?
A- I will travel to the other training sites.
Q- Who do you train?
A- I will train anyone who wants to learn, from private citizens, school administrators, businesses, or church security teams.
Sharpen & refine refund policy:
I limit my class sizes to provide an exceptional and individualized experience for each student. Once a class is scheduled, resources are committed, classroom/range availability are arranged, and numerous other costs associated with the class are incurred based on the number of students who register for the class. These commitments are the same, even when students who have registered don’t show up for a class. Additionally, some of our classes don’t have enough room for everyone that wants to attend. Overflow students are placed on a waitlist to be called when a registered student needs to cancel and open up a seat in the class. In order to adequately prepare for my classes, I require prepayment and pre-registration for all private lessons and training classes. 1. If you are unable to attend a class, you must provide notice no later than 72 hours prior to the scheduled class or private lesson start date and time in order to receive a full refund or to reschedule without penalty. This time frame allows me to attempt to fill the slot that was held for you. If you request a refund, there will be a $5.00 refund fee charged to the customer. 2. Individuals that do not show up for the scheduled class and do not provide notice prior to the class agree to forfeit the class fee in full. 4. Should Sharpen & Refine LLC. cancel a class for any reason and there is not a suitable date offered, Sharpen & refine will refund the class fee in full to the customer. Students will receive a certificate of completion at the end of each course. To see additional classes available, visit https://sharpenrefinellc.com.
