Testimonials

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!

Devin did a great job in presenting the material. He made the class enjoyable!

Greg

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

Very, very good class and instructor. Good and positive atmosphere and attitude.

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

… An NRA Basic Pistol Shooting course was just what we needed.

The class was awesome, from learning how to hold a pistol to shooting to safely cleaning one, I don’t think it could have been better.

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.

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

Bobb

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.

My confidence in my ability has increased.

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

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

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