About New Castle County Firearms Training Services, LLC

We all look back in our past and think about what if we would have done things differently. Although we all have our stories, I felt the need to give back. 

With that being said, I am not military or law enforcement but I have been training with firearms for many years. In 2020 I decided to become a Certified USCCA Instructor. Educating the public on all things firearms realted is one thing, BUT to be able to educate them on how to avoid a conflict all-together and to be aware of their surroundings at all times may save a life one day. 

This is a passion for me and I am happy to say that my wife, Nicole has also become a USCCA Instructor. Together each of us bring a different persepctive in the class room. We keep our classes small and in a discussion-type-format versus the traditional way of teaching.

Whether our students are taking our classes for concealed carry, our introductory or advance classes, we hope that what we are teaching may help avoid a possibly harmful situation all together.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF OF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU MAKE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO FIRE ARE AIMED OUT TOWARDS THE TARGET.  Your finger should always stay straightened alongside the frame of the firearm until you are aimed out and make the decision to fire.

While it is not mandatory to wear “double” ear protection, NCCFTS, LLC recommends that all shooters wear double ear protection.  If you are unable to hear the commands of the instructor due to wearing double ear protection, for safety precautions, remove one of the foam ear protections to hear the commands of the instructor clearly and maintain a safe environment.
