A fantastic experience…read more Walked in not knowing what to expect but could not be happier with the result. Lance and his team are genuinely amazing people. Real, caring and professional. I had the pleasure of spending the better part of the day with Chris. His instruction is top notch. Didn't waiver on any subject and always included real world examples to truly ingrain the information. We got to the range and he showed his prowess as a instructor, but also as a marksman. As intimidating as it was to be in the presence of such an experienced shooter, he always made me feel comfortable in my inexperience. I honestly walked away feeling lucky that day. Overall, this is one of the best life experiences I've ever had. I can't wait to sign up for another course at FAST OC. Thank you Lance, Chris and to the rest of your team for your commitment to excellence and customer service.

I'm reading the reviews and wonder how these people got through to anyone. I initally got my CCW…read moreand several renewals there, however last year I left v/m's and never got a call back. To renew I had to drive (in rush hour traffic a major headache) to a location on Beach Blvd. 10 mi. from home to get re-certified. FAST OC is only half the distance. Can anyone tell me what phone number they called and if they rec'd a call back? Also, the calendar I saw online was dated 2023 and there was nothing current. Help!!!

I recently took my first firearms course with the KIT Group and it was an awesome experience. I had…read moreno experience with a firearm going into the course and was a bit nervous to hold a gun for the first time but they really made me feel comfortable and most importantly SAFE the whole day. After learning the basics and shooting for a while we moved on to fun drills like, moving around obstacles and hitting your target multiple times in the "upper body kill zone". There was over 5 girls in our group and we all cant wait to go back. The instructors Beau, Caden, Keali'i (a standby medic), and Jason made us all feel very welcome and safe on the range the entire time. They are all very professional and clearly take pride in what they do. The KIT Group provided everything to the group, firearms, holsters, ammo, ear protection, glasses, etc. I walked away that day feeling confident in handling a firearm. I cant wait to take more courses with them in the future. Thanks KIT!

I've taken multiple courses with the KIT Group and the fact that I keep coming back repeatedly to…read moretrain with them is a testament to the level of "top notch" instruction they provide. Whether you're looking to learn something for the first time or train and develop existing skills they've got you covered. I can't say enough good things about the instructors but providing a safe and fun environment to learn is a good start. So if you're looking for a team to help you take your training to the next level or just want the confidence to use a firearm for the first time look no further. The KIT Group can definitely help to get it done.

This review is for Tony at Artifex. I met with him yesterday for my first private lesson. I found…read morehim to be incredibly kind and patient. Nestled deep in a shooting range in Chino Hills, secluded from other people, he had his own private section. I never thought I would be purchasing a weapon and I'm a little late in the game for tactical training because I feel like 2021 is going to pop off with a civil war but Tony was amazing, patient and extremely knowledgeable. I felt safe with him and how he instructed. It was clear, relatable and he answered all of my questions. We went over everything from safety, to position to handling and respecting the weapon. I would highly recommend a private lesson with him. He is worth every penny and I will be scheduling more with him to get my CCW. I walked away "Not" being afraid of a gun and more confident in knowing I "can" do this. That is priceless to me. Thanks Tony! Never doubt the gift you are to all of us that you teach. You are amazing and truly talented in your craft.

Arron and his team are the best out there. I have been shooting for years now and have been…read moretrained by some good firearms instructors. I can tell you if you have Arron train you, you will go from having a good instructor good to a great instructor. He has improved my shooting skills to a marksman level. He teaches all levels of firearms training from beginners, moderate to experienced shooters. He focuses on proper gripping of the firearm, stance, breathing, hand and arm placement/coordination, trigger pull, reloading etc. all of which improved my skills. And he is very comprehensive in insuring his clients are informed about compliance of the law in every aspect depending on the class you are taking. His intangibles with his clients are second to none: caring, patient, informative, detailed oriented, laser focused, systematic, organized, disciplined, safety focused, self motivated just to name a few. Don't waste your time hiring a firearms instructor with an ego and attitude who intimidates you at the range (you know what I'm talking about). If you want the best, who is highly skilled and knowledgeable in this field, and who is patient, caring and understanding and will work with you based on your skill level, look no further. Arron is your guy.

Artemis Defense Institute in Lake Forest offers a wide array of self defense training including CCW…read moreinitial and renewal courses and virtual strategic defense skills in their modern high tech and well run facility. Their website goes into detail relative to courses and they also offer memberships with ongoing training opportunities inclusive of live fire range skills and shooting. I took my initial CCW 16 hour two day course with Artemis Defense Institute and it was comprehensive, rewarding and even fun. Steven and Sandy Lieberman have this coursework mastered. Steven led the class and has vast knowledge in concealed carry and constitutional law. It was refreshing listening to the legal parameters as it relates to 1st, 2nd and 14th amendment issues and recent changes affecting concealed carry and future insights and possibilities. The class is enlightening and held in a comfortable and well designed conference classroom. Steven outlines the doctrine of necessity, Cooper's colors, the importance of mastering at skill at arms and the preservation of human life as core essentials. Professionalism at arms and the preservation of existence was a true focal point during the coursework. I so enjoyed Steven's style of teaching with real world scenarios, application and of course humor. This class is a must for anyone looking at a first time CCW, renewal or refresher, it's fantastic. Steven covers all aspects of SB2 (AB1078), philosophical doctrine, constitutional law, threat cycle, strategic and tactical environment characteristics and so much more. Sarah who manages the front end, provides training, handles all documentation inclusive of applications for additional CCW states such at AZ and UT and so much more. Sarah is phenomenal and another key player and pleasure to have in your corner. The team at Artemis is highly skilled, knowledgable, professional, helpful and caring. Kavon was our live fire qualification instructor and what an amazing professional and quality individual. Kavon is skilled in all aspects of firearms safety and operation and is another key staff member to compliment this amazing defense institute. Sandy was not present during our training due to a family emergency but Steven provided a summary of her background and skill traits as co-owner of the facility and her skills are quite impressive as well. I also purchased Steven's book which is available on Amazon titled Sword and Quill co-authored by Steve Tarani another self defense professional. I highly recommend this coursework through Artemis Defense Institute as this was rewarding and I plan to take additional training throughout the year when my wife and I are not traveling. 5 stars plus

BF and I went there to checkout the facilities before we booked an company recreation club event…read morethere for my business. Safety is extremely important to both us and the rec club, so an on site pre-booking visit was definitely in order. Websites Always make the locations look nicer and better than they really are. You also cannot tell from a glance at a web page about Whether or not unsafe or sketchy customers regularly visit. We also wanted to find out information about classes, as many of the rec club people are interested in having spouses and Their older children get basic safety and protection training. No one present at the desk to answer our questions. We had to walk around for some time before we found anyone. Person was rude and stand-offish. Simply refused to answer questions and directed us towards their web site. We Do NOT Recommend. We took the rec club business elsewhere and never went back.
