What Our Students Say About Their Experience

CCW Class Review
Mickey Owano Verified Facebook Review Best CCL Class you can take! I took it with my wife and Joe was a great instructor. My wife has never fired or held a gun in her life she was so nervous to even fire a weapon and after the class and her shooting a pistol at the range with the instructors that were so helpful she now feels comfortable caring a gun and having them in the house.
Class Review
Nick Fay Verified Facebook Review The class was great. The hands on drills definitely reinforced what I have seen and practiced before. Joe and Terry have a great lesson plan that isn't overly complicated with information that might not be needed to know. The blend of power point and active engagement during the class was awesome. Learned plenty of new information and corrected some bad information I had learned from other sources. Can't forget to acknowledge the rest of the staff as they were pivotal in helping things run smoothly as well. Highly recommend this class to everyone looking to aquire their permit.
firearms course review
Bruce Williams Verified Facebook Review Joe and Terry run a very professional operation. They clearly err on the side of caution and if you follow their teachings and advice you will be able to navigate the world of concealed carrying without getting yourself in a legal mess. I learned a lot. It has changed the way I behave in the world and I don't even own a gun yet. I highly recommend this course. It is hard for me to imagine how this course material could be presented better. Also given the amount of communication and e-mail Joe must receive it is amazing how promptly he responds to questions or issues outside of the class work.
Gun Training Class Review
Dr. Jon Ritt Verified Facebook Review Absolutely a great class with knowledgeable instructors and practical drills. Joe and Terry made it fun and kept it lively. The range portion was great and each instructor was helpful to every student on the line by offering suggestions for improvement in stance and gripping. I highly recommend this course! If you're still hesitant or any bit unsure if you should still go for your CCW permit, these guys and their class will quickly ease any indecision. Very comfortable and not boring at all. Worth every penny!
