I attended an all-ladies pistol class this past weekend. The class is held in one of the office…read morespaces in a brick building. There is plenty of parking and the class is held in a room that is very well-lit, comfortable, clean, with lots of visuals and information posted and... coffee and snacks! I had no expectations because I had absolutely no idea what to expect and didn't know anything about guns or ammo. I can honestly say that after this class, I feel very comfortable and am much more knowledgeable. Lisa and Matt are passionate about what they do and are very well-versed on all topics related to shooting, with safety above all else. The indoor shorting range we went to after i took the written test, is about an 8 minute drive. I was filled with nervous excitement, but once we started shooting, I only felt excitement because I felt really prepared! I walked through every step each time. Lisa and Matt offered lots of great advice based on their experience, and I'm grateful to have found them and this class. They offer a variety of classes and I plan to continue my education through them.

Lisa and Matt do a fabulous job! They provide a comfortable learning environment, positive…read morereinforcement, and are extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend their pistol permit classes!

Still waiting to hear back about the taser class but the gun permit class is on point.. teachers…read morewere excellent keep up the good work

I recently took the pistol permit (one day) class with Joe and his staff, which is offered on…read morealternating Saturdays and Sundays. I found their groupon deal, which was one of the most reasonable priced places in the area. Joe was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about what he does. They also offer add on services like passport sized photos and notarizing of your paperwork, at an extra (but nominal) fee. Additionally, they offer various other classes, like security training, CPR/first aid, self defense, etc. as well as 1:1 firearm instruction. Their classroom was a bit tight, as the class I attended had a large number of people in attendance. There wasn't enough space between the rows of tables and chairs to get up without everyone in the row needing to also stand up for the people sitting on the inside against the wall. A bit distracting, but that is my only (negative) feedback. Also, to note: the morning half of the instruction is in the classroom followed by a (lunch) break of one hour. Then, everyone is expected to meet up at the gun range (Delta Arsenal in Wallingford about 20 minutes away) for the hands-on portion of the class, where you get to shoot/practice with an instructor. I had assumed we would be shooting at the nearby gun range in Orange, but it wasn't a huge deal. Just might be helpful, so attendees can know what to expect before signing up. Most of the 2 hours in the range was spent waiting, as they do provide 1:1 time with Joe or one of his staff while shooting. You can shoot the basic hand gun or "buy up" to try a range of different sized guns for $20 extra. You get a signed certificate at the end of the class which you can submit to your city/town with your full pistol permit application and Joe makes himself available during that process, should you need help or advice.
