I am a senior with no experience shooting and knew nothing about guns. If you're looking for the best, most patient, articulate, knowledgeable and considerate when it comes to professional handgun instructors, please contact this group. I experienced a thorough yet comprehensive course with Kris, one of the certified instructors! He is very articulate, patient and knowledgeable. He makes you feel at ease and comfortable regardless of your knowledge about handguns. He has patience and takes time to address your concerns and questions regardless of how many questions you may have to ask just to ensure you understand. I was nervous and very hesitant about holding a handgun and going to the range but taking this course with this instructor, allowed me to feel a little more comfortable and increased by confidence. His course was comprehensive yet while at the same time not over burdened with too much technical jargon to learn and/or understand. The instructor explained this course in detail while citing relate-able examples and breaking things down into simple terminology. I sensed that the instructor wanted those taking the course to be comfortable and confident in using a handgun safely, thus the atmosphere felt safe and encouraging. It was a pleasant surprise that the course is reasonable in cost as it covered properly operating your handgun, tips to ensure safe use and carrying of the handgun, ways to improving the level of marksmanship, and it increased my confidence in holding, loading and shooting a handgun. I hope to take other courses from this group to maximize my safety around handguns, gain an enhanced ability in using and maintaining a handgun as well as marksmanship. The instructor made the handling of a handgun a safe and enjoyable experience. I never thought that I would be saying that I am looking forward to my next course and going to the gun range. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I attended the Pro Ops Concealed Wear and Carry course in June. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and I felt both informed and prepared for my gun ownership journey. I appreciated the instructor not only showing us the laws and how to find them, but also helping us dispel misconceptions about Maryland law and gun safety. Additionally, this course allowed us to view video footage that helped attendees think through both gun safety and the use of force. As someone who has extremely minimum gun use, the course helped ease some of my fears regarding guns, and allowed me to get use to proper gun terminology. I also think the shooting form, shooting, and gun draw activities helped provide a much needed hands-on aspect to the course making it extremely beginner friendly (and great practice for all in a safe, controlled environment). The instructors provide everything so you don't have to worry about having items for training, but are welcomed to bring your own. For day two we were at a range for our shooting test and the instructor maintained the same attentive and engaged approach to ensuring we maintained gun safety and provided attendees with a perfect example of range etiquette. By the end of the course I was excited to take the next steps to secure my license (which the instructor covered thoroughly... definitely do all three - MD, DC, and Utah). Once licensed, I look forward to working with Pro Ops in the future to advance my gun training. read more

I received my HQL over a year ago with Prolific Operations Training Group and recently decided to take their two Day Multi State Concealed Carry Course. I'm so glad I did! From start finish, the experience was great. My instructor, Kris, communicated with me at the time of booking about what the class entailed and a general overview of what a Multi State Package was. Day one of the course was an interactive class that covered everything from gun safety to specific State Carry Laws. I learned how to safely unload a firearm, check and re-check for live rounds, clear a malfunction, load a magazine and more! There was even Fingerprinting on site, so that's one less step in the Process! Day Two was applying everything that we learned the previous day, to the real thing! I shot live rounds, used safety checks and drawing techniques to responsibly handle a firearm. I was able to do things that I never imagined and most importantly become comfortable with using and carrying a firearm. If you're a beginner like me, or just want to brush up, book with Prolific Operations! You will not be disappointed! read more

In November 2020, My girls and I signed up for the HQL class with Prolific Operations (ProOps)! We were definitely in Great hands with these gentlemen! They were Prompt, Professional and most of all Patient; not to mention they were pretty funny we laughed while learning which took some of the nervousness away! BUT, most importantly we were Educated, Enlightened, Encouraged and Equipped! I also appreciate that after class the guidance continues. The instructors are always available for questions and ready to provide guidance moving forward in completing the licensing process and assisting with purchasing a firearm including what firearm is best! ProOps also offers one on one sessions so that I can retain the skills I learned in class, and continue to get better and more comfortable with a firearm! Attached is my target from class in November 2020 and my target from a one on one session in February 2021! #ayyee #sheready #thanksguys read more

Outstanding instruction from start to finish. Kris, and the team at Pro Ops set the standard for what professional firearms training should be. Their depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and unwavering focus on safety make every session both informative and confidence building. What impressed me most was their calm, disciplined teaching style and ability to explain complex techniques in a way that's easy to understand and apply. They correct mistakes constructively and make sure you truly grasp the "why" behind each skill, not just the mechanics. You can tell they take their role seriously and care deeply about their students' success. I left the training feeling more prepared, more responsible, and far more confident in my abilities. If you're looking for elite-level instruction from someone you can trust, look no further. Highly recommended 100 % read more

Took the course twice from Prolific Operations Training Group (POTG). My first time was to obtain a owners permit. My second time was to obtain my conceal carry permit. The first experience was such a great one that it was a no brainier to go back to them for my second time. The staff was more than knowledgeable because they are experts in the field. POTG keep us engaged, took us step by step through the training, provided real life scenarios, and made it fun for everyone while making sure we understood the seriousness and responsibility of obtaining these permits. I strongly recommend POTG to anyone for firearm training and ownership. read more

Extremely professional, knowledgeable, patient, articulate, and personable. I would highly recommend Prolific Operations Training Group. As someone coming in with zero experience I was already nervous and not sure what to expect. Once I arrived I was greeted immediately by both instructors, Kris and Kenny. Throughout the class I could tell my instructors were truly there for us. This isn't an assembly line just get them through type of operation and I appreciate that. By the time I finished the course I was ready to schedule another session, and I definitely will. Prolific Ops Training Group is the absolute best at what they do! read more

I am so glad I decided to train with Prolific Ops. My instructor, Kris was very knowledgeable, efficient and ran an informative, interactive class. There was a lot of information given but his style of instruction was refreshing. Even though we spent hours learning, he engaged with each one of the students there. He made you feel comfortable and respected; not like you were just a body in a chair. The hours flew by! I can't wait to continue training with Kris, so that I can get comfortable with my firearm. I hope to meet with some of my classmates as well. It was a really good group and money well spent. Thank you!! read more

These guys are amazing! Very knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to personal growth. As a beginner they made me feel comfortable and made sure to cover the material thoroughly and to go over the information I did not understand. The instructors are very patient and will take the time to go over your targets and guide you through the whole process. Safety is most definitely their priority! This applies to covid safety too, they follow covid standards (temperature checks and 6 ft), sanitized the equipment regularly and kept several hand sanitizer bottles in the classroom. Thanks POTG! read more

Thank you Pro Ops. My first time ever at a gun range with an instructor and it was amazing. My instructor (Kris) was very professional, patient, fun and guided me through every detail of operating a firearm. Being taught by someone who know's and loves what they do you get good results. read more

Covered all my topics (and I'm a newbie). Friendly, knowledgeable. Come to find out the price quoted on their website was only a DEPOSIT. Discovered later on that more money was to be paid later on. Still would do again all things considered. read more
