Testimonials

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.

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

Can’t wait to sign up for another class and this time I’m bringing my husband too!!

Amy

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.

This class is a must for anyone interested in owning a pistol. Absolutely essential information, presented in an easy-to-understand format, by an exceptional instructor.

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!

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

Amy

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

My confidence in my ability has increased.

Holly

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

I could see my wife’s confidence and enjoyment increase as we progressed through the day.

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.
