I shot a gun once many years ago, so had very little experience going in to this class and was a little nervous. Shawn made me feel comfortable and took the time to help me with positioning my hands when holding the gun and giving individual help to each of us. He provided detailed materials, as well as guns, targets, ammo and safety gear out on the range. It was a fun experience and I highly recommend this class!

Arizona Defensive Firearms Training is owned and run by a quality owner. I had an issue, but he…read moregot involved and made everything right. We all know things do not always go the way they are supposed to and that is just how life is. What is most important is when there is an issue that the issue is acknowledged and resolved quickly. Arizona Defensive Firearms Training is a company that does just that. If you are looking to get the requisite training certficiation for a CCW permit which is what I was in need of, then I encourage you to go to Arizona Defensive Firearms Training. The ownership is top notch, strives to provide a quality product (service) and has years of experience with firearms, therefore is well set up to provide you the certification you are seeking. I highly recommend Arizona Defensive Firearms Training.

For context, I have never attended any formal firearm training before taking the CCW class offered…read moreby Mental Marksmanship. I was in the Scouts, shot a few rounds with my brother before, and my father owned a gun. However, that being said, I imagine that even those with extensive experience will end up taking away something valuable from these two brilliant instructors, making the price for this course well worth what you pay. For additional context, I purchased a discounted voucher via Groupon, but I was so happy with the experience that I am looking for additional courses by these instructors and would be happy to pay the full list price (which is already competitive with other course prices) This course was about so much more than just gun safety, the laws, and how to concealed carry. While we did get into proper gun handling safety and techniques, the overarching theme was the Mental aspect. At first I thought the name Mental Marksmanship was targeted for people "Crazy" about guns. This assumption, was far from the case. What I found was that the instructors were raising really thought provoking questions. I went home really thinking about the impacts of carrying a gun. They really hit home on not just the legal ramifications of owning a gun, but several other areas which I will leave for them to share with you. Additionally, the primary instructor is incredibly qualified to be teaching- I can't remember all the details, but I do remember he served in high up leadership roles for law enforcement for many many years. He's seen it all, and I immediately felt comfortable and respected what he had to share. His assistant was also wonderful, qualified, and really emphasized the "Mental" aspect of this course. The two really complimented each other. Lastly, I had no expectations of this course, content wise. It was close by and had great reviews for a great prices. I was just looking to get a CCW, but ended up taking home so much more. Attending with an open mind will grant you an incredible experience.

So it was time for the next step, and take the Defensive Handgun class. Boy was this a step up in difficulty and it was a blast. Things we practiced: -shooting around obstacles - shooting from knees -shooting while laying on our back - shooting one handed -reloading one handed - practice shooting on the move - stamina/speed/endurance/awareness Just like the first time, he's great at explaining the why behind something. I learn best when I understand the logic and the habits build throughout the course, adding a different wrinkle each time and progressing into quite an intense course to run through by the end.

The instructors are experienced and professional, with no "attitude", and the quality of instruction is the best. You learn solid technique and intense focus, with highly-personal instruction. Instructors watch every student and are constantly providing advice and encouragement. It seemed like I was learning something every couple of minutes. After the range drills, one of the instructors gave a lesson on weapons care and cleaning. Because the Real World Firearms Training staff includes law enforcement and military veterans, they were able to share a practical perspective to make the concepts real. Many people continue to the next level of their training with Real World Firearms Training and I can see why.
