Hey All,
I'm at a crossroads. I have been training folks in advanced handgun and rifle shooting for close to 10 years now. I've enjoyed a lot of success. I was made fun of for my "following" of people who only came out to my classes (humble brag, I guess).
I left the training company I was working for a few months ago. I wish them the best but it was not a good place to work.
The saddest thing for me was stepping away from the clientele that I had built up. I absolutely want to get back to it. Helping new shooters get started and advancing the skills of seasoned shooters is provides a lot of satisfaction for me.
Yesterday I was invited out to a new outdoor range not far from my house to take a look and provide ideas and feedback.
It's got two 25 yard bays and one 100 yard bay. The folks there want training classes and shooting matches, the sky's the limit.
I'm currently in between training companies (I'm in talks with one outfit) and am struggling with whether or not I should start my own, or sign on with one.
I need to flesh out the options.
Anybody have any insights on starting their own training outfit?
If it matters, I'm in northern California and the range is located in a place where the county is trying to become a 2A sanctuary county. A lot of support for the 2A up here.
