They are patient and really go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and that you understand safety and what you're doing and make everything really easy. When you get there you complete your registration and rent a lane. Then you can either use your own firearm, eye and ear protection, and ammunition or you can rent or purchase everything. You can rent handguns and various semi-auto rifles for a flat rate plus ammunition, or you can rent automatics or belt fed machine guns by buying magazines or belts, no flat rental rate required. It can all add up pretty quickly but overall the rates and prices are reasonable. I had a great time, my favorite was firing the Thompson submachine gun on full auto, and will definitely be back for the M1!

If anyone is interested in finding an instructor for their CCW certificate. Either their initial…read morecourse or renewal, I highly recommend going through John Glatthar with Semper Firearms here in Palomino Valley. He keeps the class sizes small and is efficient with time management as well as being incredibly knowledgeable with answering all the questions asked. A couple ladies came from Carson and mentioned at the end of the day they were so thankful for his class because they took a couple firearms training classes in their area and had not such good instructor experiences. And I'll have to say, John was pretty thorough during the sit-down portion of the class and by the time we were done with the range- everyone was really happy with the whole day!

As…read moresome of the material having to do with concealed carry can be a bit dry it makes the time go by quickly. He still kept it serious where needed as this is a serious subject. He got through the material and kept us on schedule and as a busy person I appreciated that a lot. Would recommend him unreservedly. The one minor negative (which is really not anyone's fault in fairness) was because of the classroom being above the shooting range ( a good thing as you get to do your qualifying shoot straightaway without having to change locations) it was a little hard to hear the presentation at times from the noise below. As I said, it was only a minor negative as Gary was very skilled to pause as needed if he was making an important point and it got too loud. The fee for the course was also quite fair and a good value as I looked at other offerings for double + the $'s !
