Tactical Theresa's Tip
Theresa Rodgers, Founder
"Rifles intimidate people more than pistols do — they're bigger, louder, and less familiar. But the fundamentals are the same. Once you understand how a rifle works and how to handle it safely, the intimidation disappears fast. This class is designed to get you there in one session."
