My goal- meet each student where they are and help them to improve in their own path.
Sometimes a student isn’t ready to take their first shot- but the fact that they showed up, they absorbed learning in the classroom and step out of their comfort zone by going to the range and observing while others shoot is a huge milestone. Sometimes it is battling through that first shot through tears- and realizing “I DID IT!”
Each class is a different experience- and I love it!
I am proud of each one of these ladies from the class tonight. I was blessed to work with them and hope that I get to walk with them on their journey again!!

One of the most valuable tools in improving my shooting skills has been consistent dry-fire practice. To help me stay accountable and track my progress, I created this Dry Fire Training Tracker.
As I began sharing photos of my completed pages, more and more people asked if they could have a copy. I'm honored that something I created has the potential to help others stay motivated and improve their own skills.
I'm excited to make it available as a FREE download for anyone who would like to incorporate it into their training routine. Whether you're just getting started with dry fire or you're an experienced shooter looking to stay consistent, I hope this tracker helps you build better habits and measure your progress.
If you use it, I'd love to hear how it's working for you! Your feedback means a lot, and I'd enjoy hearing how this tracker has helped you on your training journey.
