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

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.

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.

I really appreciated how the importance of safety was expressed and exampled. Constant reinforcement of good habits throughout the course was great!

Nicole

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!

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 thorough with information & answering every question.
