It was presented well and the time went by quickly. The shooting range was fun. My instructor Bobbie was great. After learning how to handle, load the magazine, and operate the firearm I felt more confident than I thought I would. The instructor also let me try another firearm and gave me ammo so I could see which one I liked best. My sister took a course in Maryland and it wasn't nearly as good as this one and she didn't get a book, and it cost her the same amount of money. If you take this course you will definitely get your monies worth. I will go back to Live Fire Instruction and take other training courses.

I did my basic pistol course today. At first, I was a bit concerned that Burx might not have the…read moreexperience to provide good training. I was wrong, he is an excellent instructor. He is enthusiastic about the subject, clear in his delivery, and works hard to adapt the material to the background of the student. Turns out that he is also a very personable guy, which makes the training easier. Burx introduces a wide array of guns to you, and you get to shoot any or all of them. This is really very, very helpful in trying to figure out what kind of gun would work for you in any specific situation. I'd say that if you are contemplating a gun purchase, get trained by Burx first so that you can make an informed decision. If you are relatively new to firearms, or want to improve your marksmanship, Burx is also the right guy to go to. He told me things about seemingly basic stuff such as how to hold the guns properly, which other people seem to ignore. The difference between getting basics like this right, and not getting them right are huge. For example, the guy in the next lane had immense problems getting any kind of grouping on targets at any distance because his grip was wrong.

As someone who moved from the Eastern Shore to NoVA, one of my biggest priorities was looking for…read moreplaces to shoot. As an avid clay target shooter, finding a place to go (besides my gun club) was important, since my club doesn't have a Sporting Clays facility. A few people told me about Bull Run, and I visited for the first time back in October. I was impressed with the facilities. The county government runs the spot, and it is nice and clean! Pricing is fair. If you don't have a gun, you can rent one for an additional fee. If you need shells or bring shells that violate the rules of the range, there are boxes of shells you can buy on the premises. The one drawback I personally had thag doesn't directly affect me is if you bring someone who's never shot before, they will be required to do a mandatory safety course. The course isn't terrible, and my friend who has to do the safety course said it was very insightful. But if you don't have to do the course, but a friend does, you're gonna be waiting a hot minute before you guys can shoot together. Nevertheless, as someone certified as both a shotgun firearms instructor and an RSO, I value their commitment to ensuring everyone at Bull Run is safe.

He's got a pulse on the industry and has never steered me wrong. If this is your first firearm experience, I cannot stress enough how important it is to have someone like Warren guide you through the process. I would compare buying from Paladin Tactical like getting fitted for a bespoke suit. Everyone is unique with tastes and requirements. I have not met anyone with more firearm knowledge than Warren and I've met quite a few folks in the industry. Paladin Tactical also offers firearms training. Warren is a certified instructor for all firearms except for black powder (sorry Davy Crockett). What better way to break in your new firearm than with some proper training from this tactical mentor. Training and ammo are the most important things to spend your money in after your firearms purchase.
