Why Firearm Safety Education Matters
In an age where young people encounter firearms in video games and movies long before they ever see one in real life, formal safety education isn’t optional — it’s essential. Our program replaces mystery with mastery.
Safety as a Lifestyle
We don’t just teach rules. We build habits. Students leave with a deep understanding of the four universal safety rules and the muscle memory to follow them.
Family-Centered Learning
A parent or guardian is required at every class. We believe safety education is strongest when families learn together.
Real Skill, Real Confidence
From classroom fundamentals to live-fire range time, students build genuine competence — not just awareness.

“I’ve known Bill Haas for over 5 years. He helped me out with my firearm skills when I first got started in competitive shooting. My son also got into competitive shooting when he was in high school. Bill helped him as well. He did too good of job! My son became a better shooter than dad within months of training. Highly recommend him as a trainer.”

“I took the class ‘What gun should I buy?’ Bill provided a great selection of options, went through thoroughly while I selected the ones I thought I liked and fit. Bill was so knowledgeable and helped me select what fit based off how it fit in my hand as well as performance. Looking forward to taking other classes with him.”
