In 2012 I achieved two personal goals, one was becoming a gunsmith and the other was to become an NRA instructor. I have practiced safety in everything I do and enjoy passing along my knowledge. Teaching my students the basics of firearm safety has been very rewarding. For the past 8 years, I have helped many students improve their aim. Having the vantage point of analyzing a person's stance while gripping a firearm allows me to make suggestions that my student can benefit from. This is also beneficial for me as I can see where my technic can improve.
