Private Instruction
$225 for one hour · $450 for two hours, one-on-one
Teaching since 1993. More than 30,000 students. Just you and John.
Whatever you are working on, John has already seen it — a few thousand times. The flinch you cannot shake, the grip that slides under recoil, the draw that snags every time. He knows which fix works for someone built like you, shooting what you shoot.
What we cover
- First-time shooters who would rather not learn in a group
- Experienced shooters with a specific problem nobody has diagnosed
- Daily carriers who want the draw and reload to be automatic
- Couples or family members training together
- Anyone preparing for a permit, a competition or a job requirement
Request a day and time that suits you and John confirms by email, usually the same day. We talk before we shoot so the time goes where it matters, and you leave with a plan for what to practice.
It is not the cheapest private instruction in Denver and it is not meant to be. You are buying time with an instructor who has spent three decades learning to see what you are doing wrong in the first ten minutes rather than the third lesson.
Prefer to start in a group? Our concealed carry class is $199 and our firearms safety courses start at $89. We will tell you honestly which fits.
