The Intro to Handgun class was very informative helpful. My girlfriend also took it as she's never fired a handgun before. Instructor Lynn Pozehl was very professional and helped the participants learn and live fire in a safe environment. Looking forward to taking more advanced handgun classes in the future.

Took the Intro to Handgun Class with a friend yesterday. It was a great overall introduction to handguns and very informative about firearm safety/handling. Jon was the instructor and he did a great job balancing the different levels of participants within the class. He was very attentive out on the range, ensuring that everyone was safe, shooting well and having fun! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for an intro class.

The Intro to Handgun course FAR EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS. I'm an Army Vet that just wanted a little formal handgun training for myself and 14 year old son and this course did that and then some. I watched a young lady (maybe 15) go from jumping out of her skin upon hearing the first gunshot to confidently hitting her target repeatedly within a matter of 20 minutes...AWESOME!
