Really enjoyed it! Best thing you could do if you are a new gun owner.

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

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

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!
