The same NRA trained instructor handled both classes and made some of the "boring" parts less so. What really stood out for me was qualifying on the range the last day. The instructor was all business. No grab ass, no excuses. Safety first. If you don't cut it, you don't make it. That being said, the instructor goes above and beyond to help you make up any short comings. Well worth the money and time.

I did an overnight drop-off and got it back in mint condition. Best of all, it was on-the-house for active-duty military. Can't thank them enough for the help!

There is an older gentleman in management who seems completely unhappy and shows zero hospitality or appreciation toward loyal members. The overall staff seems to have changed a lot recently too, and honestly, I can understand why they wouldn't want to stay in that kind of work environment. Even with a membership, the club has become overcrowded, oversaturated, and disorganized. It's clear this stems from management not valuing the loyal members who invest in the facility. I will be looking for another club--even if it's a bit further away--that can offer a much better experience and atmosphere. Disappointing.

We took our golf cart to our car to fetch our shotguns and ammo. We started at station 1, there are 14 stations in all. There was a big variety of patterns of how the clays would be coming - 3 report pair standard or chondelle rabbit, 4 report pair standard, 5 report pair, .... Each station was challenging and fun! There is a magnet on a pole at each station and a container to put your empty shells. Please pick up after yourself! We had a fun afternoon and will be back!

My parents were both very worried about me living alone, so I thought a class like this would put their minds at ease as well as my own. Well the class was even better than I thought! Not only did we learn how to be more cautious of our surroundings, but Martin also taught us some moves that even little 5'2" me could use to take somebody down. After the class, I felt empowered! I feel like now I am better prepared and more aware of what is going on around me. I am an avid Yelper and I completely support and agree with everything this company is teaching. I urge everyone to take this class!

Yes things are right. But they essentially provided an online course with the cost of 100$ and a separate affadavit required to get the necessary licensing, and told my friend to go elsewhere to have someone else sign the form. No instructor in their right mind is going to sign a form on someone else's training. This is a money gouging play, and the details are not well provided, and it should not be allowed to stand.

Dude went over very few laws, very few helpful things, but did tell us to KEEP THE GUN SAFETY OFF. We learned that any concealed position other than hip is useless, according to him. We learned that his guns are right above wholesale prices. You start with a speech about why you should buy from him. I'd say 80% of the actual class is him pushing his tactical master classes, and then you end with a speech about buying those and how "worth it" they are. If they're anything like this class, I can assure you, they are not worth it. He tries to convince you they are by telling you gun ranges are a complete and total waste of time. All the 5 star reviews look great... until you realize he bribed us to do them. You get store credit for leaving a 5 star review. (A significant amount of store credit). I did not take that opportunity because 1) I knew I wasn't going back there and 2) I wanted to leave an honest review. They do have a good warranty on their guns, (provided they actually honor it, but I don't, and won't, know). The short of it is I left that class knowing nothing. I am so grateful for a gun runners class I took 6 years ago. I learned so much more there than I did here. If this were the only weapons class I took, I would have absolutely NO business concealing a firearm. Somebody is going to get hurt.
