Luckily for me, I've moved to God's land - Placer county, where all day I sing: Home, home on the range, Where the deer and the antelope play, Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And the skies are not cloudy all day! Also, they like guns up here. They REALLY like their guns up here. The media would like stricter gun laws equal a safer community. Placer county is very pro-gun and wouldn't you know - we have one of the lowest crime rates IN THE NATION. Not just in California, not just on the West Coast, but in the good 'ole U S of A. I have availed myself of such goodness but I must confess, I am not a good shot. I've never received any formal training. I've been to the range many, many times but my idea of a good day a the range is putting holes through the target, not really paying attention to my form or shot groups that I formed, etc. I did, however, want to be more comfortable with my collection of toys and recently decided that I would like the ability to defend myself and my family should the situation ever arise and so I started looking into obtaining my CCW permit. There's so many instructors in this area but one that kept coming up in my searches was STRFI. Josh is the owner and instructor at STRFI, which he does as a hobby and because he loves shooting. He's an Army veteran with lots of experience training troops in all facets of shooting and he also sponsors a team of professional shooters. I was a bit intimidated at first because I thought that with all that experience, he would look down on me as a beginner. But that was TOTALLY not the case. Josh was very patient in teaching me the basics - nonclamenture, types of guns, grip, stances, etc. What I noticed about Josh is that he put himself in the students' shoes. He was teaching us on our level, not his, which made the environment very conducive to learning. He was also very knowledgeable in the Penal Code and removed all the jargon in order to explain it in a way that a layman such as I could understand. His teaching style was very lively and upbeat and full of jokes. It made for a very relaxing class, full of interesting facts. I really did learn a lot during my class time. What really shined though was the range time. After spending 2 hours with Josh, I went from a shot group as big as the State of California to a very tight shot group, even multiple shots through the same hole. If I, a beginner, was able to do that with only 2 hours of range training with Josh, I imagine that an advanced shooter would become a championship level shooter! I give my highest recommendation to Josh and STRFI for your training needs, whether it be for your CCW permit or just overall shooting in general. Thanks again Josh! Can't wait to work with you again!

This is going to be a very descriptive review so hold on, haha. First, I do want to clarify that I…read moredid get my license and I didn't think I ever would without driver's training, however this particular company had a few concerns. My very first lesson was mostly parking lot practice and a bit around the block, but I don't feel like I had any "real" training. I opted for the Gold package. I didn't practice parking, straight line backing,lane positioning (I got marked on that on my driver's test) I didn't practice a lot of the things on the list of things the first lesson entails on the website. I requested a different driver after that lesson so I trained with David instead and he was great! He had me practice my weak areas many times until I got it down, he posted evaluations and comments after every lesson (first driver didn't do that) I was glad to have gone the route I did or I would've felt like I wasted $800. My behind the wheels test day finally arrived and the car I took my test in was not the same car I had practiced in every other lesson and we did not go over the check list in that car like we did every other time in the other car so I forgot where the Emergency break was. In the other car, it was a pedal. In this car,it was a button. So it was sort of frustrating that everything was switched up on me so quickly. We didn't do any freeway training, but that's okay. I felt we were behind because of the first lesson. I'll need to practice that on my own. On the website, for the Gold package, it says "This package includes everything covered in the Basic Teen Package, plus we will provide an hour and a half of training before the student's DMV exam, as well as our vehicle for taking the exam. We can also schedule the test for you. This package is ideal for those parents and students wanting to ensure they pass the driver examination. We've found that warming up with an instructor before the exam makes students confident and prepared which produces excellent results." When I initially read that, I was under the impression that I would be practicing with the DMV examiner before the test, I liked the idea of practicing with my examiner, however I did not. The wording on that was a bit misleading. Oh and on the days following the road test, I "practiced the road test" with my instructor several times but the rout I took was nothing like the road test. We went on a roundabout in which I only practiced once before,the morning of the test. I didn't understand the roundabout and I did not take the correct exit she told me to, so I went on a completely unfamiliar route and drove very slow and got marked for that lol I live in Paradise and I'm not used to Chico residential streets so I drove slow in case there was a hidden stop sign. I just feel like I got marked on a lot of stuff the school could've taught me. I did spend almost $1000 on it. Oh and also, on my third lesson, we were practicing in Chico and we came up on a stoplight that looked like the one in the picture. I started taking a left turn when my light was a green light and not a green arrow, which clearly states I must yield to oncoming traffic. I was told to go and almost got hit by a driver taking a right turn. That bothered me because I felt the instructor should have taken me on roads he was familiar with, because he didn't know that was a protected and unprotected stoplight. We all learned a valuable lesson that day on that light though. I take responsibility for that too, but I listened to him when he said go so I guess I got confused.
