FAQs
Where are you located?
I don’t have a primary range location, but I’m flexible and can arrange a time and place that works best for your training needs. Whether you're local or need help finding a suitable range, we’ll coordinate the details together to ensure a safe and convenient training environment.
How do I register for a class?
I’m currently only able to accept payment by cash or check. I am working on payments online. If you're interested in booking a class or have any questions, feel free to reach out directly to set up a class. I’m happy to work with your schedule and help you get started with safe, effective firearms training.
What classes do you offer?
I’m currently offering a 2-day combined pistol and rifle class, as well as one-on-one shooting sessions available by the hour for more personalized instruction. These options are great for building solid defensive fundamentals with both platforms. As things grow, I plan to expand the schedule to include separate 2-day pistol and 2-day rifle classes, allowing for more focused training on each firearm. Stay tuned for updates, and let’s get started with what works best for you right now.
What should I bring?
Once you book a class, all the details—including the exact location, meeting time, gear requirements, and what to bring—will be sent to you by email. Since I don’t have a permanent range location, we’ll coordinate a range that works best for both of us. This ensures a safe and convenient training experience. You’ll receive a full breakdown of the class schedule, safety guidelines, and any other important information so you can come prepared and ready to train.
What is the minimum age requirement for joining?
The minimum age requirement to participate in any TonyMike Tactical training class is 18 years old. This ensures that all students meet legal requirements for handling firearms and can fully engage in the course material. If you’re under 18 and interested in training, please feel free to reach out to discuss potential options or future programs. Safety and responsibility are always the top priorities
What is not allowed?
A full list of non-allowed items will be provided to you by email once you book a class. For the time being, however, due to safety concerns and liability reasons, I will not be allowing the Sig Sauer P320 in my training sessions. I highly recommend bringing a different firearm to ensure a safe learning experience.
