I was surprised at how much I learned, even though I have been shooting for years.

Being a new gun owner, I was excited to take this class to become more comfortable using my gun. I really enjoyed the class and found all of Devin’s tips & pointers to be incredibly useful in making me a safer & more knowledgeable gun owner. Thank you for an awesome class.

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.

Amy

Highly recommend Devin Howe’s classes — thorough, well presented, and had a personal touch too.

Kathy

Devin made the class light, safe and engaging, never intimidating.

Bobb

The thing I liked about the class was the hands-on training and shooting. Thank you Devin, it was a great experience.

Albert

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!

The basic pistol course was a fantastic value without a doubt.

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.

Devin is an excellent instructor. He explained the need for safety as the first priority and continued to emphasize safety throughout the class. He has an excellent knowledge of firearms, their components, and applications.

Excellent course that everyone should take, from an excellent and knowledgeable instructor.

Allex

Loved this course. The instructors are super friendly, encouraging, and very knowledgeable. I came in as a novice not knowing anything and already feel more comfortable handling a gun safely. Can’t wait to purchase my own and practice more.

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.
