Student Testimonial:

"I am relatively new to the firearms world and trying to do as much learning and training as I can to ensure I am safe and proficient. I feel these classes were vital to my education...

The material was presented in a comprehensive and applicable manner. Specifically, the scenarios you ran us through were extremely valuable. You did a great job teaching these without embarrassing us for some of our reactions. I personally felt foolish about some of my decisions and/or indecisions, but ...you created an environment where it was educational. 

I have always had a great deal of respect for everything you and your colleagues do on a day to day basis. After these classes my respect is even greater.  [This class has] provided me the tiniest glimpse of the amount of training you must do to be proficient and on point every day, especially in today’s society.
