⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I went on a gun bus trip with friends that included a Pennsylvania gun show and a stop at the range, hosted by 3EdgePDG, and it was a great experience. The team was professional, patient, and easy to work with, which made the whole day smooth and enjoyable. I got to shoot firearms I never thought I’d have the chance to try, and safety was clearly a priority without it ever feeling stiff or overbearing. Overall, it was a well-run, fun, and informative experience. I’ll definitely be using 3EdgePDG for training and range time going forward.

Certified Firearms Instructor
As a certified NRA firearms instructor, I am passionate about educating others on the proper and safe use of handguns and rifles. With a strong belief in firearm safety, I strive to create a welcoming and informative environment where individuals can develop their skills and confidence with their firearms. My goal is to help students become familiar with their firearms, ensuring they understand not only the mechanics but also the responsibility that comes with ownership. Join me for a comprehensive and engaging experience that prioritizes safety and fosters a lifelong appreciation for responsible shooting. May I add I am a marine corps veteran and I was trained in artillery.
Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I am here to guide you every step of the way!

Certified Firearms Instructor
I’m a certified NRA Firearms Instructor who’s been shooting for the past five years, and somewhere along the way, I discovered that teaching others is just as rewarding as hitting the target myself. I’m a big believer that you don’t need a lifetime of firearms experience to become a responsible, confident shooter—you just need the right guidance, a little patience, and a safe place to learn.
My teaching style is friendly, hands-on, and filled with the kind of practical tips I wish someone had given me when I first got started. I like to keep things relaxed, engaging, and—yes—fun, because learning about firearms doesn’t have to feel like boot camp.
Whether you’re brand new to firearms or just looking to sharpen your skills, my goal is to help you feel informed, capable, and confident, all while keeping safety at the heart of everything we do. After all, responsible training today makes for safer shooters tomorrow.
