He genuinely likes to help people. When I started attending his classes, I was new to sport shooting and his approach got me off the ground and I’ve been developing my skills with him ever since. If you want to learn the fundamentals, or advanced skills, Will is your man.”

Go Beyond The Flat Range
Basic shooting practice, often done on a flat range, helps develop essential skills such as stance, aiming, trigger control, and follow-through. These basics are crucial for handling a firearm safely and effectively. Additionally, it’s important to learn how to handle malfunctions and issues like failed ejections or misfires. Flat range training covers these fundamentals, but for many, their learning stops there.
Effective Marksmanship Fundamentals (EMF) take training further by preparing individuals to maintain their shooting skills even under stress. EMF training teaches efficient movement and helps shooters stay calm and focused in challenging situations. This advanced training builds confidence and enhances the ability to perform well, even when conditions are less than ideal.
