It takes very little effort sometimes for one to appreciate good and honest business versus just being quick to write something bad because, well.. most people to complain. I guess I will start with the latter, the way the world is nowadays is truly something to be recognized, it's not about paranoia but rather having your head on a swivel; being acutely aware to situational awareness - something that was taught as one of the key fundamentals in this class. Pew Pew Guru is far more than just a class, and like the owner and our instructor Kevin stated, "it's not how you take the test, everyone tests differently - it's about how you absorb the material as that is what matters." Upon walking into this class, I was promptly and courteously greeted by him as well as fellow colleagues, we took this course to have one goal in mind; to be safe and to know how to use certain tools when applicable and as a final resort. Kevin taught his class in such a way that anyone from novice to expert could easily digest and regurgitate the information with confidence. Pew Pew Guru doesn't just give you a book and in a sense tell you to 'read it' and send you about your way. No. There is a lot of gray area here, it's not all black and white. Kevin brings his prior experience in the Army as well as being an instructor the past few years to the table. His network is vast and his techniques are proven. If certain methods do not work for you in his class, he will work with you to see what may be the better or best way for you to grow. That is his passion and his drive. He understands you signed up for this class and he wants you to understand that he values the reason(s) as to why you did. The class material itself is something you may need to read twice, but again, it's something that everyone in the class puts an interactive team effort into collaborating. When it came to hands on proficiency, Kevin and fellow RSOs will ensure when you leave, you'll be even more confident than when you walked in. They offer various tools to ensure this. If you are even contemplating about a quality CCL/W class whether if you're a first timer or looking to renew, do not hesitate to contact Kevin and his team. Or, if you are looking for a nice deal on certain tools of the trade, he can offer that for you as well. There is no price on personal protection, the materials and knowledge given by Pew Pew Guru are truly invaluable. It is well worth the 8/16 hours that you are here. The bottom line is this - they say knowledge is power, but I say, knowledge and applying it is the truth strength. Kevin and the rest of Pew Pew Guru know just exactly how to make this niche 'industry' right. There are bosses and then there are leaders, Kevin led this entire class and with absolute perfection.

Vivian D. at Range USA in Naperville was an excellent instructor. My husband and I took the…read morefour-hour basic safety and handling gun class, and we were both very impressed with how thorough and positive she was throughout the entire course. The class covered the basic parts of the gun, the parts of a round, proper handgun grip, stance, loading a magazine, racking the gun, unloading the magazine, clearing a jam, finger position, the four universal rules while handling a firearm and being in the shooting range, and learning the "compress" position while waiting to shoot. What stood out most to me was how strongly Vivian emphasized safety. She really drilled it into our heads, and I appreciated that so much. Even though there were about 12 people in the class, Vivian made sure to give each of us personal attention. She took the time to help everyone find the correct grip and stance, and she had us practice repeatedly in the classroom so we could enter the range feeling confident. She was very patient, encouraging, and great at correcting mistakes in a positive way. I especially appreciated her help with me personally. I had thumb surgery a year ago and struggled with loading rounds into the magazine, but Vivian was patient and guided me until I was able to do it successfully before we entered the range. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this class with Vivian and loved her approach from beginning to end. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone looking to build confidence, learn proper handling, and get a strong foundation in firearm safety. Also, the price to take the class for two people was perfect!! Thank you Vivian!! Thank you Range USA!!

- Awesome class!!! - Very professional instructors!…read more- Top notch training by current & former law enforcement officers and military veterans! I signed up for their 16 Hour Basic Pistol - Illinois Concealed Carry Course with a friend, not knowing what to exactly expect from the class. Upon arrival my first day of class, I could tell right away that our instructors were professional shooters, had been teaching for a long time, and that I was in for an education. Our class was made up of all kinds of people: beginners, experienced shooters, military veterans, and regular people like my buddy and I. Not having much of a shooting background (except for shooting BB guns when I was a kid), I appreciated the first day of class; going over handgun safety, how to select a handgun for purchase, loading / unloading, and handgun cleaning & maintenance. The 2nd day, we learned all about Concealed Carry in Illinois; the laws, the do & don'ts of CCW, how to draw my pistol, how to conceal one, holster selection, police interactions, and what to do if I unfortunately find myself having to use my handgun in self-defense. Not being the greatest shot on the range starting out, the instructors took their time, working one-on-one with me to correct the bad habits I had (jerking the trigger, and shooting with only one eye open). Once I followed their instructions, I shot a perfect score on my qualification! I cannot say enough about these guys and girls! I highly recommend the class!!! CJ
