Rachel Chase, one of the managers at the North Richland Hills store, shared the impact training has on the business. Included, of course, is the Texas License to Carry Course, but probably more important to the business is the group of classes aimed at the new user, such as Basic Handgun, Basic AR and Firearms Cleaning. The Shoot Point Blank store in North Richland Hills, Texas, offers 10 different classes beginning with Introduction To Firearms and going all the way through Advanced Handgun and Advanced Handgun Refresher. If you have a store consider offering gun-cleaning classes, even if you don’t do any other training. It wasn’t long before the cleaning supply sales covered the cost of offering the classes. We quickly discovered the need to assemble gun-cleaning kits for people to purchase. I paid the instructors who helped me, but I almost guarantee they’d have done it for free. Putting a room full of people together around a common interest like this generates a lot of goodwill. Others bought their second or third gun from us.

Some bought their guns from us because they knew they could come to us to learn how to clean them. You might think the people who came to those free gun-cleaning classes had already bought their guns so they wouldn’t be great gun-buying customers for us, but it wasn’t always the case. Class was limited to 20, and we made sure to have enough instructors available to help everyone learn how to take their guns apart, clean them and put them back together. Sign up was required, but only so we had enough seats and supplies on hand. The postings went out on our website and in our emails - Free Gun Cleaning: 1st Tuesday Night of Every Month. Hearing these comments more than just once or twice made me realize there was an opportunity there - not necessarily an opportunity to present classes I could charge for, but as a lead-in for other training opportunities and if nothing else, goodwill for the gun store.
