The info shared was very informative and made me feel that the value for the class was good. The instructors Steve and Kim were very knowledgeable and patient and made me feel comfortable. Their attention to detail and instruction were great. Overall I gained more confidence about handing a firearm and firearm safety. I definitely recommend this class and these Instructors.
Steve and Kim were excellent trainers and very patient! I recommend them for groups of all sizes or even personal training. Steve was very knowledgable and willing to answer any and all questions! Though I am a beginner, I know Steve could even teach experts new information based on their continuing education & knowledge of all types of firearms.
Just finished my first firearm safety class with Steve and Kim and I was impressed! As someone who’s never even held a gun before, Steve was thorough with the safety and precautions needed, ensuring my mother and I understood before handling the gun. They provided ear protection, googles, and guns if needed.
Initially shaking before my first shot, I now feel so much more comfortable handling and shooting a firearm. I would definitely recommend this team!
