From Gary Daniel - I signed up for an instructional one-on- one course regarding familiarizing myself with operating and handling of a Ruger 9 mm. I contacted the company regarding the fact that I'm over 80 years old which puts me in the danger zone for Covid 19 and indicated I would prefer the instructor, as well as myself, to wear a mask for the one hour class. Their answer was to cancel my class which I thought was very unprofessional!!! I'll take my money some where else! read more

Just completed the CCW classroom and range qualifications and it was a well planned out 16 hour (2 day class). The philosophy of "Good Shepherd" is just that, they are committed to teaching you what you can do and the best way to protect your family (or flock). In addition, they cover what you need to know under the law so you know what to do before, during and after an event regardless of whether you have fired your weapon or not. They provide breakfast and lunch and treat you exceptionally well and provide an atmosphere for learning without being under pressure. Looking forward to taking additional training classes with them in the near future. read more

We had a very nice experience with SOAW. The instructor was very knowledgeable. She explained the…read moreinformation well and backed it up with real-world examples and some of her experiences. She was aware of the latest codes and ordinances regarding Concealed Carry; and firearms in general. The range was easy to find and this instructor was ever vigilante to ensure we were performing the proper actions and correctly handling the firearm at all times. During the lesson plans, there was good interacting and communicating. The instructor addressed all our questions. And made sure we would know how to react to most of the common situations regarding the concealed carry environment. If we had to select a Concealed Carry instructor again, this is the person we could contact.

Go take a walk across the stone bridge. The park also has a mini golf course and softball fields among other things. Also check out a preserved steam locomotive. There's also a pavilion for those wanting to have a picnic. Has lots of activities throughout the year including festivals and fireworks. It's located east of Morris Avenue and south of Wood Street.

ROC Ice Cream and Mini Golf'

Environment: GREAT I will definitely come there again!…read moreThe environment is so nice. And the mini golf was so much fun in such a beautiful place!

Review Visit: June 13th, 2016…read more A perfect combination of fun and delicious. I have, admittedly, been here many times before June 13th. But that is neither here nor there. The only thing you need to know is that this place has cheap mini golf and some of the best ice cream around. The mini golf portion is about $5.50 a person, young ones being cheaper. The course is your typical 18 holes. But this course is quite challenging and I have only sunk a few Hole-in-Ones here. There is a sweet deep blue fountain/waterfall that runs through most of the park. My ball has gone in the water more times than I care to admit. The challenging but fun course aside, the real gem here is their ice cream. Imported all the way from Madison, Wisconsin, this is some of the best that I have. It easily is in my Top 3. My usual is a Caramel ChocoLatte. Sooooo good. The company they get it from is called Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream and I really want to visit Madison, Wisconsin one day to have ice cream directly from them. All in all, a great place to spend an afternoon putting balls and devouring ice cream. This is actually one of the few places on my blog that falls into two categories. Mini Golf and Ice Cream Shack, since you can pop in and enjoy ice cream without ever stepping on the green.
