Private coaching is built around what you specifically need to get better. One student. One instructor. One private range lane. Every round has a purpose.
Who it's for
What you get
No other students. You and Marcus Darling — nobody else on your range.
Your goals drive the session. Recoil management, accuracy, defensive draw — your call.
Every round is analyzed. Every mistake corrected on the spot, not after the session.
Pistol, ammo, eye & ear protection. Show up and shoot.
20 years qualifying sailors with lethal weapons. You get that same standard.
Private sessions eliminate the self-consciousness that holds most shooters back.
How it works
Before your session, Marcus asks what you want to work on. Maybe you just bought your first pistol and want to learn it inside and out. Maybe you have been shooting for years but can not seem to tighten your groups. Maybe you want to build a defensive draw from concealment. Your answer shapes the entire 90 minutes.
Marcus observes your current technique — grip, stance, trigger press, follow-through — and identifies the specific habits holding you back. You work through corrections with an unloaded pistol until the new movement pattern feels natural. This diagnostic phase is what separates coaching from simply renting a lane and shooting.
You fire live rounds on a private range lane with Marcus standing beside you, calling adjustments between shots. He watches for the micro-habits that show up under recoil — anticipating the shot, breaking wrist angle, losing sight picture. Every correction is specific and immediate, not general advice delivered after the fact.
Recoil management and follow-up shots. Accuracy at 7, 10, and 15 yards. Drawing from a holster safely and efficiently. Transitioning between targets. Shooting with both dominant and support hand. Preparing for a concealed carry qualification. Building confidence after a long break from the range. Whatever the goal, the session adapts to meet you where you are.
A valid ID (18+ required) and closed-toe shoes. All gear is provided — pistol, ammunition, eye and ear protection. If you own a firearm and want to train with it specifically, bring it unloaded in a case. Marcus can work with your personal weapon so you leave confident with the exact gun you will carry or keep at home.
“The one-on-one coaching was exactly what I needed. Every round had a purpose. I finally understand what I was doing wrong and how to fix it.”
