Mike Driscoll – Firearms Instructor

Firearms have been a part of my life since I was a young man. My father taught me early on that safety and discipline come first—once those were in place, we could truly enjoy our time at the range.

That foundation carried through into my military service. As a former U.S. Army Sergeant (always a soldier), I excelled on the rifle range and learned to deeply respect my weapon system. Professionalism, competence, and responsibility became the core principles I brought to every mission—and they continue to guide my approach today.

I am an NRA Certified Instructor in Pistol, Rifle, and Shotgun, a Chief Range Safety Officer, and a North Carolina Certified Concealed Carry Handgun (CCH) Instructor. I take these credentials seriously because I take your safety seriously.

My #1 priority is instilling safe gun handling practices in every student—period.
Once you understand how to safely handle and operate a firearm, developing your marksmanship skills becomes a rewarding and empowering experience.

Whether you're a first-time gun owner or an experienced shooter looking to improve, I’m committed to providing personalized instruction tailored to your goals. Even in group classes, I conduct one-on-one interviews with every student beforehand to understand their background, concerns, and objectives. Your journey with firearms should be one of safety, confidence, and continuous improvement—and I'm here to support you every step of the way!
