Testimonials

The instructors were very courteous and patient when explaining the course, and the course itself was enjoyable.

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.

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

Can’t wait to sign up for another class and this time I’m bringing my husband too!!

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

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.
