Another great day of training at Ground Zero! 👊

I love seeing students exceed their own expectations, especially when “I’m not sure I can do this” turns into “Look what I just did!”

Those smiles are what it’s all about. Building skills, growing confidence, and helping people feel comfortable asking questions and learning.

Thank you to everyone who trusted me with your training today. Whether you’re brand new or ready to build on what you already know, there’s a place for you at Ground Zero!

What’s one thing you wish someone had taught you when you first started shooting?

For me, one of the biggest problems I see with new shooters is that they think they’re supposed to already know what they’re doing.

You’re not.

Nobody was born knowing how to safely handle a fi***rm, load a magazine, clear a malfunction, manage recoil, or shoot accurately.

Everybody starts somewhere.

That’s one of the reasons I started Ground Zero Training Solutions. I wanted a place where someone could show up with zero experience and not feel embarrassed about it.

So I’m curious…

👇 If you’ve been shooting for a while, what’s ONE thing you wish somebody had taught you on Day One?

And if you’re brand new to fi****ms, ask a question below. There are no stupid questions here.

Everybody starts somewhere. Start at Ground Zero.

Another Tennessee Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit class in the books! 🎯

I really enjoyed spending Saturday with this group. They showed up ready to learn, put in the work, and earned those targets they’re holding!

In this photo, there are experienced shooters and those brand new to shooting.

At Ground Zero Training Solutions, my goal isn’t just to help you check a box or get a permit. I want you to leave safer, more confident, and more competent with your fi***rm than when you walked in.

If you’ve been thinking about getting your Tennessee Enhanced Handgun Carry Permit but have been nervous because you’re new to fi****ms, this is exactly who we love working with.

No experience? No problem.
Questions? Ask them.
Nervous? We’ll work through it.

Everybody starts somewhere. Start at Ground Zero.
