I really appreciated how the importance of safety was expressed and exampled. Constant reinforcement of good habits throughout the course was great!

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

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

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

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

Allex

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

Bobb

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

Bobb

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

Albert

Thank you so much Devin for a truly AMAZING basic pistol class. We are all still talking about it …

Amy

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!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Liberty Defense pistol training course…

Eric

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

Great course and instructor. It helped me become comfortable handling, shooting, and cleaning pistols.

Peggy

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.
