Not sure I'll add anything to the already excellent reviews for Sandy and McKinney Firearms…read moreTraining. I have handguns and rifles, but I'm self-taught. I already knew shooting was not automatic for me. I had some bad habits. Well, maybe I had a lot of bad habits. Sandy assesses your level: beginner, intermediate, expert. Then he helps you make your gun handling and shooting MUCH more smooth and effective. In my case, I signed up for a private lesson. As a woman, I was used to shooting rifles (had livestock and therefore problem predators occasionally), but not my handguns. When I bought a new handgun, I wanted to get training on handling and shooting it, quickly, effectively, and accurately. That's what I'm getting. And can't believe what I've learned already to prevent jamming, to increase speed while keeping accuracy, etc. And his rates? Very affordable. And great gun range out in the country: perfect place to learn. Sandy teaches all levels, from beginners to professionals, from personal protection to concealed carry. I know a good instructor when I see one. Very methodical, starts from where you are, helps you correct what you need to, allows you to repeat until you develop "second nature," and then advances you to the next step to meet your identified goals. And I'm an "old school" army brat, so I also know when the instructor knows his business in that area too for more advanced users. And, yes, I've signed up for more individual instruction.

Although this was my first time at a firing range, I wish the firing stalls were a little farther apart or at least had more extended walls so that the shells didn't hit everyone because it made it hard to focus. However, I don't know whether or not this is normal but I felt very confident in the location and the safety equipment we used there! As soon as I try other locations I might update this review, from what I understand they also host their own classes here so definitely check them out!

He said he's been shooting for about 40 years, and his knowledge and expertise is impressive. He went over some basics, and then we did different shooting drills that were much more interesting than just target shooting in an indoor range. His demeanor with me was great and he didn't make me feel like any question was stupid. I highly recommend James and Sidearm training.

However, the teachers and staff walked so tenderly with our family through that season. I never felt judged--only cared for and supported. We worked as a team, and even on the days when my daughter was especially challenging, they consistently spoke the love of Christ over her life and reminded her of how He sees her. Because of the love she's experienced from the teachers and staff, she is a completely different child this year. I am so grateful for this school that is helping shape her into who Jesus has called her to be. It's more than just a school--it's a community centered around what truly matters.
