Testimonials

… An NRA Basic Pistol Shooting course was just what we needed.

Bobb

This course built the confidence I was looking for in using/handling a pistol.

Holly

I feel so much more confident. This is exactly what I was looking for to feel more safe, competent, and confident.

Leah

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.

The size of class was perfect. It allowed one-on-one assistance/aid when needed for each student. Very enjoyable and personable!

Ken

I’m so grateful walking away from this course with the confidence of knowing how to load, unload, check, and shoot a gun. The greatest gift is knowing how to handle and properly check a gun!

Well-rounded and very informative for someone new to pistols, especially the parts and mechanics of guns and cleaning.

I have been shooting pistols for about 30 years. [Liberty Defense was] able to identify the bad habits I have developed and help me to overcome them.

The class was awesome, from learning how to hold a pistol to shooting to safely cleaning one, I don’t think it could have been better.

You should have seen their faces when I was hitting the bullseye at 15 yards and they were all over the paper.
