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

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.

Eric

I feel so much more confident. This is exactly what I was looking for to feel more safe, competent, and confident.

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.

You should have seen their faces when I was hitting the bullseye at 15 yards and they were all over the paper.

Brandon

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.

Devin made the class light, safe and engaging, never intimidating.

Bobb

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

Well-rounded and very informative for someone new to pistols, especially the parts and mechanics of guns and cleaning.

Nathan

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

Bobb

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