I'd definitely recommend this class with Ava if you're interested in applying for your concealed carry permit and being more comfortable with that decision.

Utterly terrible training. This has been by-far, the worst firearms instruction I have ever…read morereceived.

However it is still a gun club, at the same location which includes gun/ammo/accessories and gear sales (and FFL transfers). The indoor range equipment worked, there's functional restrooms and friendly staff. I've dealt with a few of the staff and cannot remember the first contact name I had, however most recently I dealt with Bill and he's a pretty good guy. He assisted with a gun buy, and one of the high points is that he's knowledgeable with experience as well; but it's nice that you can speak strictly business with him or get off on a random subject, if you're so inclined. Like speaking to an old friend, uncle or mentor.

This range does not observe 6 ft distancing or wear face coverings in spite of signage on the door…read more I was the only person in the store wearing face covering. Even the pistol course did not follow COVID-19 mandates. When I called to cancel my membership I was told by Bill (no mask) that he and his wife had contracted COVID-19 and could no longer get it. He also could drive across town to the west range to cancel my membership because they did wear masks. I did go to the west range and that was true their employees were wearing face coverings, however 2 of their customers were wearing them on their chins.------they teach and preach gun safety but don't believe in science!!!! They did not refund my money so they don't believe in honesty and fairness with their customers------STAY AWAY----DANGEROUS BUSINESS

Magnum just goes full bore call the cops and try and use false aligation to silence the opposition. This over reaction shows they dont practice good defensive behavior of understand the situation, de escalate the situation, and walk away with out incident. With the magnum mentality of over react and jump to conclusion your bound to shoot first and possibly maie a huge mistake. For instance magnum jumping to conclusion and going over board calling the cops shows they are acting out of fear not training. Which shows the low level of training even magnum employees recive. Haha such poor self defense training magnum gives its own employees. Haha yall are fools that did exactly what you were supposed to do. Puppets dance for your master Where to start, the banning of out side instructors in favor of lesser magnum employees. when I asked Ashlee " so I have to find a new range no?" Ashlee says " no you keep paying us". The over priced ammo, the un sage range conditions, the girl flirting with me in an attempt to not lose business. We can flirt, and be friends but absolutely no phone number. Now this female is assuming she is loved much like when I found out ashlee was memorizing my phone number. I told her might as well call me. Turned into a huge mistake ashlee thought I was attracted to her. This is probably why she is banning me really she is sad I was never interested. The gun smiths are lacking big time they cant even fix an ak. The classes are a joke and after taking 3 classes from magnum, I became an independent instructor. If you train with magnum good luck, I've heard rso talk about how they need a red dot to hit 25 yds. There are plenty of other ranges, dcf, dragon mans, republics range. Oh yeah I was member for over 10 years but because I am also an instructor which I have been since 2021 im banned and evil

Even very experienced shooters will get some points from this class and become better. I have been an instructor and have received professional training for almost 20 years. Dave and Rob are among the best trainers I have ever seen. They take time to identify specific ways they can coach and help each student, and then present information and coaching in an encouraging, supportive way. They create a fun, productive training environment which encourages people to try new things and see what works for them. They are very respectful, use good natured humor and will definitely take you from wherever you are and help you get better. That is the hallmark of excellent instructors! Take this class. Regardless of how good you are. You'll get better!
