Great people to learn from and train with! Very knowledgeable instructors with years of applicable experience to pair with their classroom talks. Solid course material, and the instructors take their job seriously but are easy to talk to and will help you with any questions or concerns you may have!
Classes were very knowledgeable and interesting. The trainers/instructors were very patient with me at the range and made sure I was properly trained before I left.
Excellent resource of current laws and regulations in the state regarding the security industry. Welcoming attitude and a challenging curriculum. If you come here with a good attitude and a willingness to learn you will have an amazing time.
Personalized Instruction
Every week our students' level of experience ranges from "I've only shot a gun a few times" to "I've been shooting my whole life". We pride ourselves in being able to cater to both ends of that spectrum. Not just for firearms. Every class we teach we ensure that you walk away with valuable knowledge and skills no matter what your starting point.
Expert Staff
