Mission Statement
The mission of On Target Firearms Training is to disseminate firearms knowledge and information in order to educate people about firearms and their safety, and to provide necessary skills and training for beginners and advanced shooters. In doing so, students will learn proper, safe, and responsible firearm use while advancing in their personal skills without the stress and anxiety that is especially common among those who have never touched a firearm. We will accomplish this by providing a comfortable learning environment, in small groups or private settings, with certified and caring instructor(s).
