Being a veteran I have a strong knowledge base in firearms and firearms safety, I say this because if you're like me you know that once you've taken a few firearms training courses they all start to sound the same even across weapons platforms. To my pleasant surprise this was not that, Chad was highly knowledgeable on any question that was asked providing not only accurate but UP TO DATE information on all topics covered in the course. You will absolutely learn something in this course. I will be attending more courses by Chad as will my family. 10 out of 5 stars. Thank you Chad!

Awesome Experience!!!!…read more Went here yesterday with a group of people and it was an experience that everyone should have! We were all pretty much average or below shooters before this class. John taught us the basic fundamentals on how to build sturdy triangles with our arms, bodies and legs to increase accuracy. Our groupings tightened up immediately after learning the fundamentals of shooting accurately. We all felt very safe and learned a whole lot about body mechanics and how they effect accuracy. All of us had a great time and are trying to arrange an Advanced Shooting Class soon. Please go do a class with John. It is a most wonderful experience! We will be back soon!!
