At Freedom First Firearms School, we conduct beginning, intermediate and advanced firearms instruction. We provide a safe and encouraging environment for our participants to become familiar with proper handling and use of firearms. Lead instructor Billy Padgett has NRA Certification along with California Department of Justice certification and government and military firearms certification training. His experience also includes 40 years in the firearms industry in various capacities and brings a wide range of knowledge, instructor professionalism and patience to our program. Clinic Director Caroline Cronin is an NRA Certified Rifle and Pistol Instructor and is continuing to train for additional certifications with firearms.
The purpose of Freedom First Firearms School is to "dispel the myth" surrounding firearms and facilitate a healthy and positive experience with firearms. Our personalized approach to introducing new students and assisting beginning participants is designed to ease the anxiety and fears that most newcomers bring to the range. Our participants leave our training sessions with a sense of accomplishment and confidence, wanting to become more involved with the firearms sports, be it recreational shooting, competition, in a service capacity or simply for personal development.
Freedom First Firearms School has a firearms instructional program to fit your needs. Freedom First Firearms School also offers the California DOJ Handgun Safety Certificate testing (required to purchase a handgun in California) along with Firearms Cleaning and Storage workshops.
