The nation has seen its largest rush of new gun owners in its history, all looking for a qualified instructor to teach them how to accurately shoot a firearm while being safe on the range. At the same time, starting a part-time firearms instruction business can earn you more than $100 per hour teaching the NYS CCW Course!
The time is now to become a certified instructor!
