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.

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.

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!

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