Company Launches Nationwide Gun Training

LAS VEGAS - Feb. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Backyard Shooting Lessons just launched a nationwide service to teach shooting in backyards   The site helps connect beginner shooters to a certified instructor in their area.  The site will launch in over 2100 towns across the United States.  The Shooting instructors offer training in a variety of types of guns and lesson plans for groups, individuals, and families.

Despite it's name, the service only offers lessons in safe backyards with 1-3 plus acres.  It's secret is in 3,600 established partnerships with certified shooters who pass a training exam and generally have 5-15 years of professional experience.  The company partners with the pros and gives them a percentage of the lesson.

Shooting education has been long-dominated by ranges.  However, not everyone has a range nearby.  The site helps those in remote areas by teaching them near their home or even in their backyard (if the space is safe).  The National Rifle Association (NRA) has been one of the few reputable agencies to certify shooting instructors.  The NRA also sponsors free family shooting events nationwide.  Their trainers will teach safe use of guns-often for free.

ShootingLessons.info allows new shooters to learn whenever they like.  NRA days often come to select areas once a year.  The service offered by the site is year-round and is a private lesson.

ShootingLessons.info is being launched by Lesson Pro LLC (http://www.lessonpro.co).  A company featured this year at the Empact Showcase in the United Nations.  Lesson Pro has provided over 20,000 lessons through 10 web properties which feature private instruction marketplaces.  Some of the other Lesson Pro sites include: Goskate.com and TennisProNow.com

The owner, Rob Dunfey, says purpose of the site is “to make Shooting lessons more affordable and accessible.”  He continues, “Currently, the offering of shooting classes is restricted to colleges, a limited number of shooting schools, and some pricey in-home chefs.  ShootingLessons.info is taking the benefits of a backyard shooting lesson and providing it for the cost of a class.”

When asked about pricing, Dunfey says, “The pricing depends on the geography.  You will find lessons from $50 per session in Temecula, California and from $30 per session in Dothan, Alabama.”   Discounts will be offered to those who buy “packages” of lessons.

So how does this site work?  The instructors sign up, pass a certification exam, set their rates and availability and then are listed on the website for student’s to pick their favorite teacher.  All instructors are trained and given a customized syllabus to instruct their students.  Other lessons are customized to meet an individual meal the student is looking for.

ShootingLessons.info (http://www.shootinglessons.info) director of services, Tom Martin, says, "We spent about 18 months preparing for this, gathering the best shooters, and developing the curriculum.  To date, we have about 3,600 shooters signed up to teach, and we anticipate a very thrilling first year."
