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

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.

Cheryl

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.

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.

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!
