Renaissance firearms instruction

After competing nationally on History Channel’s Top Shot against the country’s best marksmen, Frank decided to obtain certification from the venerable National Rifle Association, and pursue a business in teaching the skills that comprise his lifestyle. Using his time with the History Channel wisely, he seized the opportunity to trade shooting tips and tactics with some of the most talented shooters in the world and infuses what he has learned in all his courses.

Being versed in several firearms, as well as a variety of skills such as maintenance and fabrication of firearms such as the AR-15, ammunition crafting, and ballistics, and being referred to as a “renaissance man” in his personal life, the term only seemed fitting for the organization. As he views shooting as an all inclusive lifestyle, he finds it only right to offer several courses covering the gamut of skills responsible for making this activity so fulfilling.

Frank Melloni can be found practicing what he preaches at various ranges throughout Long Island and North Eastern Pennsylvania as he actively competes in NRA High Power, NRA Small Bore Silhouette, USPSA and IDPA. When he is not shooting he is either researching new firearms and reloading materials for articles in several publications such as American Rifleman Magazine, Shooting Illustrated, Tactical Life, Ballistic Magazine, Gun Digest, and many digital media outlets.

Where many instructors merely "dabble" in training as a way to earn extra money, instruction and writing are Frank's primary vocation.
