I was worried that the information would be presented in a confusing way or that I wouldn't understand anything but that wasn't the case. Everything was clearly explained (in the classroom and the range). Safety was, of course, their number one priority and I felt very safe on the range. Rules and protocols were explained and they made sure everyone was comfortable and understood the rules. I will definitely be taking more classes in the future.

You'd be hard pressed to ask Bill anything about guns and gun safety that he doesn't know, or to find a better instructor. I couldn't recommend him more for anyone wanting a great experience to learn about, use and feel more comfortable around firearms. We'll be going back to see Bill again for sure.

I think this is something they'll remember their entire lives. It may seem silly, but these are really life lessons that should be taught young.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Debbie. She was so patient and empathetic throughout the whole session, and that made a huge difference. She has a way of just calming your anxieties and making everything feel manageable, even if you are starting from zero. The class itself is super straightforward and stays focused on the essentials. You learn how to handle a gun, the most important safety rules, and how to build up your confidence. It never felt like a stiff lecture. Instead, it felt like learning from a pro who genuinely wants you to be safe. I walked out feeling way more capable than when I walked in. If you want a supportive and low-stress environment to learn the ropes, definitely sign up!
