Finding the Right Platform: My Journey with ShootingClasses

Professional Background

I began my firearms training and instruction journey in 2005 as a dedicated student. My passion for the field led me to serve as an adjunct instructor under the guidance of two seasoned professionals. By 2014, I had earned my certification as a firearms instructor, accumulating 20 years of instructional experience. Following my certification, I founded Means of Defense, a firearms training organization. In 2016, I acquired Rod’s Guns & Tactical and integrated it into Means of Defense, expanding my operational scope.

Challenge

My previous class scheduling platform lacked essential administrative functionality. It offered no advertising support or local instructor listings, requiring me to manually direct potential students to the site. Additionally, the platform relied on PayPal for transactions, which later discontinued its services for my business, creating significant operational challenges.

Solution

After thorough research, my wife identified ShootingClasses.com as a leading online platform for firearms training. It was the first service I contacted, and their team provided a seamless instructor profile setup process with exceptional ongoing support. ShootingClasses.com prioritizes the promotion of instructor profiles, resulting in a significant increase in student registrations from across Ohio.

Benefits

ShootingClasses.com has transformed my operations by streamlining logistics, administrative tasks, and financial transactions. The platform actively promotes instructors through its website and provides valuable tools, support, and guidance for both instructors and students as needed. The efficiency and visibility gained through ShootingClasses.com far outweigh the costs, making it a highly valuable investment for my business.
