Information last updated: October 2026
Hitting the Mark Firearms Training is owned and operated by me, Mark Cline. I am an NRA Certified Instructor in Basic Pistol, Rifle and Shotgun shooting. I am also trained and certified by the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education & Training Standards Commission and the North Carolina Justice Academy to teach and certify persons seeking a North Carolina Concealed Carry - Handgun Permit for over 15 years!



I have consistently carried concealed firearms for more than 30 years. I am also an NRA certified Range Safety Officer, Personal Protection Instructor, and an experienced North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Volunteer Hunter Education Instructor.
I take great pleasure in serving my Lord, Jesus Christ and using the gifts He has given me to prepare students for the serious moral, spiritual, mental and financial issues that confront those who would assume the responsibility of wielding deadly force.

When you come to class you will be met and greeted by Maddie and Tucker, our trained guard dogs. That's a joke! They are very friendly and welcoming.
Because of noise and safety issues I provide the gun and ammunition for this class.
In my continuing efforts to reduce noise in the neighborhood, to reduce wear and tear on the bullet stops, shorten the overall length of the class, and enhance safety for the students, I have decided to provide a firearm and ammunition for the purposes of the class.
My range is inside my workshop, and accommodates 1 shooter at the time. It's very comfortable in the summer, but can be a little cool in the winter, depending on your taste. A jacket is recommended in cold weather. Also, since semi-auto pistols tend to throw hot brass back, it is recommended that you not wear low cut tops, or other clothing which could catch the brass. A baseball type cap is also handy to keep the brass out of your face and clothing.
You will need to bring a bag lunch and any snacks you may want. There is a 30 minute lunch break. However there are no food locations nearby.
There will be soft drinks available for purchase at $1.00 each. Bottled water is free and there is cold and room temperature water available
Thank you for choosing Hitting the Mark Firearms Training,
