The size of class was perfect. It allowed one-on-one assistance/aid when needed for each student. Very enjoyable and personable!

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

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.
