Hey friends, neighbors, and former students. I will be retiring from my role as a fi****ms instructor at the end of this year. I take away many enjoyable experiences and memories.

As a result, I will be offering my drippingdefense.com domain name for sale. I have had an active site with great traffic and strong analytics. If you know of anyone the would be interested in carrying on with the domain name please have them reach out to me.They can reach me at the contact info below, or they can send a message from my website: https://drippingdefense.com/contact/

Thank you for all the support over the past 14 years.

UPCOMING CLASSES
Handgun & Shooting Fundamentals
Levels 1 & 2 combo class - Apr 20th
We will split this class based on ability.

HSF1 is our introduction to handguns and requires no experience. Perfect for those brand new shooters. Think of it as handgun 101.

HSF2 is intended for intermediate level shooters with some experience. We introduce concepts like engaging multiple targets, magazine changes, and handling malfunctions. Great skills to have if you carry a pistol for self defense.
