About Us

Mission Statement

When I founded Adkins Training Institute, my vision was to provide excellent, personalized training to assist anyone interested in pistol shooting-to advance their skills, improve their competence and make their training experience more enjoyable. I strive to assist and coach anyone with their firearm training and move them forward with their goals (and help set goals if not established).

I continue to train and push my level of performance and I plan to always train and improve.

Training Description

I offer small classes (from private lesson to small groups of 12 or less for CCW classes). Having been involved with many classes of more than 12 (up to 24 in a class) I know you cannot receive personalized attention if needed and that can easily lead to frustration- not only for the person needing additional assistance but for the rest of the class if they are more advanced. For CCW classes of more than 4 participants, there will be a second and/or third range safety officer or Instructor on duty while on the range and no more than 6 people will be at the firing line at a time so we can provide assistance as needed, and oversee the safety of all.

Ladies' Only Classes

Concealed Carry Certification

I also offer ladies only pistol training by a female instructor. Ladies sometimes experience challenges that men do not when participating in shooting sports. I can offer first-hand experience and make suggestions about how to overcome those obstacles that might arise.

OH Concealed Carry Laws- Permitless Carry

Ohio passed the historic law that became effective June 13, 2022 that now allows any ELIGIBLE person in OH to carry concealed pistols without obtaining a permit. Although it is legal to carry a concealed pistol now without a permit, you are still obligated to follow all the laws pertaining to carrying a loaded, concealed pistol and to u

We are offering a course that covers the laws pertaining to carrying concealed. You would not be eligible to obtain a permit to carry with this class as it would not meet the minimums required to get your certification to apply for a permit but it will educate you on the laws you need to understand when carrying a concealed pistol.

This is a non-shooting course.

Refresher Course or More Training

SAFETY is always the main focus with all of my training. Sometimes experience leads to complacency and complacency leads to accidents (negligent discharges). I point out any breaks in the 4 basic gun safety rules to bring awareness to the participant and make it a teaching opportunity.

I also teach the mindset required to carry a firearm

I also teach the mindset required to carry a firearm and situational awareness when out in public areas.

Please contact Mary and set up a class- whether you have been shooting for a long time or you are just starting- having someone as a coach is never a bad thing.

Classes are reasonably priced so give us a try and see what you think! I hope to establish long time students when they come for training!
