I served in the Army as a Military Intelligence officer both stateside and in Vietnam. I had a great deal of intense, advanced military weapons training, ranging from sidearms through a variety of long guns and specialized munitions to machine guns and mortars to tanks. I’ve been taught by many fine, experienced military instructors. Without question, Matt is the finest small arms instructor I’ve met. He is a superb teacher, at home instructing advanced shooters, beginners, and those in between.

Advanced courses emphasize effective and safe use of firearms as part of a comprehensive approach to personal and family protection and self-defense.
While On Target’s instruction is deadly serious, it’s also fun. Generations of Matt Bayley’s students, vacationers and locals alike, return year after year to polish their skills, learn new techniques for self-protection, and enjoy his expert advice and teaching.
