Testimonials

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.

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

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

Albert

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

The Liberty Defense basic pistol course was a fun, memorable day.

Bobb

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!

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

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.

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.
