Why go private
Your goals, your pace
Private instruction at Guns 2 Ammo in Mesa is $140 per hour for up to two shooters, scheduled around you.
Group classes are excellent, but nothing closes a skill gap faster than undivided instructor attention. Every minute goes to what you want to improve, with coaching on every shot.
Private sessions are perfect for first-time shooters who want a calm start, carriers troubleshooting accuracy or draw speed, couples and families training together, and anyone preparing for a CCW or defensive course.
