About Sgt. Foster's


The Classes

Gun-training options include an NRA basic pistol-shooting course, a state pistol-permit class, a women's-only session, and firearms-free self defense. Sgt. Foster himself also works with people during one-on-one lessons.

The Firearms

At both indoor and outdoor ranges, Sgt. Foster and his fellow instructors work with clients in firearms from handguns to military-grade rifles.

At a Glance

A distinguished marksman for the US Marine Corps who trained his fellow Marines in pistol and rifle shooting, Sergeant Matt Foster now helms a team of coed firearms instructors. The instructors rely on a TPI training method—an acronym for Total Participant Involvement—that emphasizes one-on-training and encourages students to go at their own pace to maximize skill retention.

There is no bathroom at the location where we were at. Had to drive 10 minutes to McDonalds to go to the bathroom for an 8 hour course. We were promised to go to the gun range, but "ran out of time". Didn't sound like they were ever planning on taking us to the range. And when the instructor was contacted afterwards with the promise they we could do it another day continued to make excuses. Still have not received my certificate in the mail, since the certificates were not signed by the head guy properly the day of the course.

After multiple unsuccessful attempts to reach you by telephone and email to which you have not responded to, you will not receive a certificate because you have failed to complete the course.

Sgt. Matt Foster is the ultimate professional. I relearned all the basics of safe and accurate shooting. Matt has a real knack to make everything seem really easy.
