I thoroughly enjoyed the Liberty Defense pistol training course…

Loved it! A lot of very good information combined with hands on. I feel very comfortable that I could safely own a pistol and that makes me feel great about living on my own.

I have gained much greater confidence and accuracy.

More than I expected. Even before the actual shooting it was explained why I was not consistently hitting the target. It causes me to want to shoot correctly every time.

Lynn

Very thorough with information & answering every question.
