Testimonials

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.

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

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.

Eric

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

I feel more confident handling my firearm but I know I have so much more to learn. Excited to learn more — thank you!

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.
