Testimonials

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

Kathy

My confidence in my ability has increased.

Holly

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

Peggy

I have gained much greater confidence and accuracy.

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

The instructors were very courteous and patient when explaining the course, and the course itself was enjoyable.

Tyler

Fabulous instruction. Wonderfully complete and informative.

Katie

Devin is an excellent instructor. He explained the need for safety as the first priority and continued to emphasize safety throughout the class. He has an excellent knowledge of firearms, their components, and applications.

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

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.
