"Learning firearm safety and shooting fundamentals are a valuable life skill"

About Sharpen & Refine LLC.
PISTOL TRAINING
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 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.
SAFETY FIRST
I begin every training session with the four rules of firearm safety and reiterate throughout the training session. Safety is paramount when training with all firearms.
from start to finish
Home Defense Shotgun Level 1
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
Home Defense Shotgun Level 2 will teach you how to use cover and concealment, conduct reloads, and use alternate firing positions and techniques.
Home Defense Shotgun Level 3
Home Defense Shotgun Level 3 will continue to build on the skills learned in Level 2, however you never know when you may have to shoot from your alternate or non-dominate side. This class will teach you how to do that.
