My two brothers and I did the VIP membership (it's kind of like a season pass where you get all you…read morecan eat courses). Robert and the entire operation are really fantastic. We live in Denver but happily make the drive down south towards Colorado Springs for his classes. They are engaging, practical, and we spend more time shooting than talking. Among the things we appreciated most was that he does not force "the one and only way to do X". Having done other training classes, Robert will show you what he recommends and why. If you find it doesn't work for you, no problem (as long as it's safe). For those looking at his course, know that you are moving, shooting, running drills. You work through scenarios and build up your skill sets from a single task to multiple tasks with heavy distractions. This is not the training where you stand in a line and fire. We did all of his classes except intro to Carbine. We even splurged for the precision Rifle and Advanced pistol classes that weren't part of our membership level. The three of us loved the classes and very much enjoyed working with Robert. I would very much suggest that anyone thinking of taking this class does so. To that end, we signed right up for that VIP program and thought it was more than worth the spend.

Full disclosure: I've known Robert for a few years and consider him to be a friend…read more I've taken many of his classes, and I've taken classes with numerous other instructors in the area. Robert is an excellent instructor. He's very good at focusing in on a problem and showing me how to correct it. He's very good at explaining why it's important to do it "this" way, and why it's better than doing it "that" way. In the time I've been taking classes with Robert my shooting speed and accuracy have increased. My hair has grown thicker, I've become more attractive to the opposite sex, I've received 5 promotions at work, and my Johnson has grown 10 inches. Okay. I made some of those up. But my shooting has improved significantly. An issue that Robert takes very seriously is safety. I've sat in classes where I was flagged by instructors. That's never cool. Robert harbors a super safe environment. I've never been uncomfortable in one of his classes. He starts every range session by reviewing his safety policy and emergency protocol. Robert is an excellent instructor and KTG is an excellent organization. I cannot recommend him or it enough!

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.

I really wanted this transaction to go smoothly, but unfortunately my experience with Spartan…read moreDefense was disappointing. Communication was by far the biggest issue. Emails often went unanswered, and it was extremely difficult to reach anyone by phone. When you're purchasing a high-end firearm, clear and timely communication should be a priority. I placed a very expensive firearm on layaway, but encountered several issues throughout the process just because I paid with different cards to spread the cost. I am currently still waiting for the refund to be processed. I'm not questioning the products they sell, but the customer service and communication fell well below my expectations for a transaction of this value. I sincerely hope they improve their responsiveness and make the process easier for future customers.

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.

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.

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!!!!
