I recently participated in the patrol rifle course at onpoint solutions and let me tell you. That…read moreis by far the most fun I have ever had with my clothes on. I have never been challenged like this in such a welcoming, immersive, and authentic way. This course challenged my fundamentals ! Let emphasize what I mean by that, being proficient in anything is just a concrete stone mastery of your basic fundamentals. I learned through this course from the instructor first hand that "All of your basics will be in your advanced techniques" all of the basics you learn will then translate into the foundation you need to build on new skills. The service is friendly as always, my fellow students were amazing guys willing to work and train with me which made me feel great! I was the bottom of the totem pole in my class but these guys really helped inspire me and the instructor waiting up for me. When I say he pushed my limits he challenged me in a good way! If I messed up, we would slow down. If I was doing perfect, we would speed up. That was the best part it's always good to have good critiquing and good pressure in your training but it's a million times better when you know you're in a safe environment ! Instructor Rico says "safety is no accident" when you're in the class he teaches and informs you with his knowledge and you learn a lot as well as laugh a lot through that experience HOWEVER ! When you get to the range instructor Rico is all business. You still have fun but your safety is his number one priority and that's the way it should be so 10 out of 10 I can't say enough about these guys with just the training ! Let's get to the bonus 1. You are working and training with a wide array of different backgrounds, people, training, personalities, and most of all different proficiency levels. But that shouldn't discourage because all of the classes I have taken here it is a three step program !! Crawl, walk, and run. If you fall behind the pack Rico will take his time to work with you one on one. Ask the same question ten times and he will make sure that you know it before he moves on. He will find a way explain it in a way you will understand. 2. The space is clean, well kept, smells nice inside, and they have chips, water, this time we had fruit etc etc. there's a fridge for your lunch if you brought your own or you need to cold store medication. That bathroom smells amazing and is spotless you could eat your lunch off of that floor and the soap smelled amazing as well. 3. Weapons, there's a sign that says no weapons beyond a certain point. I don't have a car I had to Uber to my class so I couldn't leave my carry weapon in a vehicle however I would encourage you to be straight up with instructor Rico and be honest with him. If you have it ! Tell him you have it so he can accommodate. He's such a cool and understanding guy he will help you out. Just talk to him and don't try to hide it. I told you before that the instructor focuses on safety so help him keep that class safe by complying with the few rules this place has it's not hard to follow. I will close by saying do not come to this class with low expectations because I promise you I Guarantee you ! That you will learn a whole hell of a lot more from this class than what you would expect when you come through instructor Rico's doors. It's real world scenarios and practical training for the time that we are living in here and now!!! Real world training !!! Like the old saying goes "when the people are ready the teacher will appear" the teachers are here the training is here and it can only be found at ONPOINT SOLUTIONS

I cannot recommend this place enough!…read more I came in with a history of gun violence & this visit was to overcome my fear of guns. The check in process was very easy to navigate and the team members were very helpful. Jake helped me get set up at the desk & he assured me that the safety person in the range would be helpful too. It's clear that safety is a top priority here. They require you to wear hearing & eye protection before you enter the range room! I entered the range room & was initially shaken & tearful so I stepped out, wiped my tears & then entered again. John helped me slowly ease up to the bay & walked me through all the safety basics of the gun. He helped me grip it correctly and get a feel of it before the mag was even loaded. He imitated what the kick would feel like. Once I was comfortable with just holding it, he showed me how to load the bullets. I was shaken & nervous between each step but he was calm, reassuring, & patient with me. I eventually loaded the mag & did one shot. From there, my confidence built. Overall, I would recommend this gun range to any & everyone. As a woman who came here alone to face my fears, I feel accomplished & empowered. Huge shoutout to John for his patience, kindness & cute smile. To anyone out there debating:DO IT, even if you do it scared & with tears in your eyes!

As someone who's never held a weapon before, I had the coolest opportunity of going to the shooting…read morerange over the weekend and what an experience it was! We arrived around 3pm on Saturday and there was a 45 minute wait to get into the range. That gave me plenty of time to sign the waiver and look at all the weaponry throughout the store. As soon as the range was available, we had to put on noise cancelling headphones and protective eyewear before entering. With it being my first time at a shooting range, the sounds of the guns were a bit overwhelming at first but I eventually got used to it and was able to concentrate enough to practice a few rounds. This was something I've been wanting to do for quite some time and I'm so glad I was able to experience it and cross it off my bucket list. For around $25pp, definitely check them out if the shooting range is something you enjoy or if you're a first timer like myself who wants to do something fun and exhilarating!

I've always wanted to learn about using handguns for home defense, but didn't know where to begin…read more I discovered Scott's Handgun Fundamentals Class and decided to attend, but I wasn't sure what to expect. I was amazed! His class appeals to the visual, tactile, and auditory learning styles. He had an arsenal of teaching tools he used for demonstration, all of which didn't involve live fire. He showed me the different types of handguns, ammunition, how to load and unload them, what to do in the event of a malfunction, how to fire them safely, and how to store them safely. I never knew that when handling your firearm, pointing it towards a wall is not necessarily a safe direction. Scott informed me that bullets can go through multiple walls. That's not what you see on TV. When we reached the range for live fire, I felt a bit nervous, but Scott had taught me so much by that point that I felt more comfortable than I would have otherwise. He walked me through all the steps he had taught me in the classroom, which reinforced the safety aspects. Scott took his time with me and made me feel completely safe. That made all the difference! I tackled my fears head-on and discovered a level of confidence I didn't know I had! My journey did not stop there! I decided to take his concealed carry immersion class, which took my skills to the next level while reinforcing the basics. This time, I had an idea of what to expect. What I didn't know was how much more there was to learn, especially if you are considering carrying a handgun for self-defense. This was also a two-day class like the Fundamentals one I had taken. The amount of information he taught me, coupled with scenario training using his simulator, really brought everything together. My goal was to be a responsible gun owner and know what to do if I encountered a home defense-type situation. Scott's methods of teaching and his ability to combine lectures with hands-on learning far exceeded my expectations. Not only did I achieve my goal, but I still wanted to learn more! Since then, I have taken his coaching lessons, Stop the Bleed course, Less than Lethal, Refuse to be a Victim, a USCCA mini use of deadly force class, a US LawShield class he sponsored, and attended his Women on Target event. Thanks to Scott, I have empowered myself with the knowledge I need to help myself stay safe. When I go to the range now, I feel confident! I am so grateful for Scott's guidance and thrilled about all I've learned.
