Arizona Defensive Firearms Training is owned and run by a quality owner. I had an issue, but he…read moregot involved and made everything right. We all know things do not always go the way they are supposed to and that is just how life is. What is most important is when there is an issue that the issue is acknowledged and resolved quickly. Arizona Defensive Firearms Training is a company that does just that. If you are looking to get the requisite training certficiation for a CCW permit which is what I was in need of, then I encourage you to go to Arizona Defensive Firearms Training. The ownership is top notch, strives to provide a quality product (service) and has years of experience with firearms, therefore is well set up to provide you the certification you are seeking. I highly recommend Arizona Defensive Firearms Training.

We had an awesome training session with Gil. He taught my 10 year old gun safety and made sure he…read moreunderstood it before he was allowed to shoot. He taught him how to take apart his gun and what the parts were called. My son loved working will Gil and learned to properly stand and shoot a pistol and a rifle as well as hand grips. Gil also taught me things I didnt even learn in my CCW class. He is very patient and knowledgeable I would recommend him above the rest as he is very detailed. We were also offered snacks and drinks! Now thats customer service. If you want to learn the correct ways to shoot hes your guy.

I cannot express how much i enjoyed my class here at Gunsite. I attended the veterans 250 pistol…read morecourse and it was an amazing week. The instructors were enthusiastic, encouraging, and extremely knowledgable. The facilities are amazing, well thought out, and very clean. Seriously, every bathroom was absolutely spotless. I would have to say that my favorite part about the course was that it was all action. We did not spend countless hours in a classroom learning theory by powerpoint presentation. Everything we learned we learned by doing on the ranges. If you have ever considered taking a course here you need to pull the trigger (see what i did there?) Because you will not regret it.

Last week I attended the Close Quarter Pistol class at Gunsite. I took this same course several…read moreyears ago and thought so much of the curriculum that I decided to repeat it. This time the instructor was Steve Tarani. Do a web search on him. He is a former "government" employee who is one of the best in the world in hand to hand combat and the use of edged weapons. He is also very handy with firearms too. This course is all about what to do when the bad guy(s) are close...and I mean like onion breath distance. Our class of 7 students received outstanding instruction during the 5 day course. Steve is a soft spoken and modest person who has superb teaching skills and everyone agreed that we learned a lot. CQP is an education that demonstrates real world situations up close and personal that can be dealt with using hands and then guns if need be. Gunsite is the largest and oldest shooting school in the world consisting of over 3000 acres that encompass excellent facilities. It trains the military, law enforcement and responsible civilians and is simply the best there is. As great as the facilities are the instructors are even better. It is why myself and many others keep coming back. I always look forward to my next trip to Gunsite.

My brother previously had attended this course and highly recommended Arizona Home Defense and Virgil. I called and spoke with the instructor, Virgil, who was able to get hubs and I booked into class the very next evening. yay! We showed up and Virgil had everyone's paperwork set up, so we could start filling everything out for the background check and fingerprints before class, which was awesome so we wouldn't have to sit there after the course to get everything done. The course itself was great -- short, sweet, to the point. Virgil gave us the information quickly and thoroughly covered required materials. He has a lot of experience/knowledge in guns overall and has a great sense of humor, however, if you offend easily, wear earmuffs or quietly bleep all the f-bombs in your head while he talks. I, personally, thought he was hilarious and the f-bombs didn't bother me (military guys use it 17 times in a sentence with 25 words, haha). After the course we got our fingerprints taken and were on our way, completed paperwork in hand (YOU have to mail the paperwork in for the CCW card but all instructions are included with your packet). I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to take a CCW class... you'll thank me later that you didn't spend an excruciating whole day training on material that Virgil can deliver to you in one evening.
