FIREARMS TRAINING

f

Hello, my name is Tanya Slater and thanks for visiting my website.  Turning my love of firearms into a structured program was one of the best ideas I’ve ever had!  It just made sense to share with others what I already know about firearms.  I have a master’s in Adult and Continuing Education and I’ve been training adults on how to do things successfully for over 20 years.

 

My primary objective is teaching clients to safely use firearms in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

 

Introduction to Firearms emphasizes safety and the basics for newbies.  Shooting Lessons (Parts 1-3) expand your knowledge and confidence, allowing you to practice under my watchful eye.  Ultimately, these lessons are preparing you to safely shoot at the range on your own or prepare for your NJ Permit to Carry certification.  In addition, we can also begin training for your New Jersey Permit to Carry License (CCARE) as well!

 

I am certified by the National Rifle Association (NRA) as a Pistol Instructor and Range Safety Officer.  My credentials and professional experience make learning more engaging, informative, and fun! (See Testimonials  below)

 

Lessons are personalized to match your skill level.  What if you don’t own a firearm?  No problem, you can still take lessons!  I have a diverse collection, ranging from semi-automatic handguns to ARs (ArmaLite Rifle).  I’d love to help you determine which firearm is the best fit to avoid buyer’s remorse.  Remember, all firearms and instructors ARE NOT created equal.

 

Exercise your Second Amendment right and schedule a lesson or NJ CCARE certification today!

TESTIMONIALS

satisfied clients

My husband, myself and daughter all took our safety/instruction courses with Tanya. She was patient, thorough and encouraging to all of us; despite our different levels of experience. I can’t rate her high enough—5 out of 5 stars!
Lynn E.
Tanya Slater is a phenomenal firearms instructor! I specifically chose her from a list of trainers because she is a woman. I knew she’d understand the fears of being new to firearms without feeling like I’d be taught by a drill sergeant! She’s patient, calm, thorough, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. She’s flexible and listens to my concerns. Tanya not only trains you to shoot but also educates you on choosing a firearm. She also makes sure you’re always safe, which makes me feel secure.
Angela C.
Tanya is an awesome instructor; she is very knowledgeable. Initially, I was scared to shoot and she made me feel very comfortable during our lessons. I left knowing how to properly and safely handle my firearm AND improved my shooting immensely!
Tara F.
Tanya’s class was very informative. She did a great job making us feel comfortable and confident on how to handle a firearm properly.
Tara K.
I used to be afraid to handle a firearm because I didn’t understand how it worked. After my first lesson with Tanya, I felt very confident and secure—the experience was LIFE CHANGING!
Grace T.
I’ve been a gun enthusiast/owner since the 70's and I highly recommend working with Tanya. Every classmate, friend, or acquaintance (both men and women) I have sent her way raves about her professionalism and thorough explanation of gun safety, function, and operation. I have never received a negative or lack-luster evaluation about her ability to introduce new gun owners to the sport. So, if you're looking for an instructor who will take their time, Tanya is the one for you!
Scott T.
Tanya conducted a beginners pistol course for my wife and daughter. She did a great job of, not only making them feel comfortable, but also provided excellent feedback. Thank you, Tanya--your course was awesome!
Jay C.
I can't say enough about Tanya's professional expertise and thorough training techniques. First time out, I felt calm and ready for the next lesson!
A. Smith
I don't know how to thank you for the incredibly valuable information you shared with us today! The attention to detail, the patience and the guidance at every step...just amazing. Thanks for going above and beyond!
