For the novice gun owner this is a great detailed class on not just the function of the gun but what encompasses owning a gun. Teaches you to be more aware of your surroundings too. read more Great class. Excellent instructors and I have already signed up for 2 other classes. Thank you

Definitely recommend this class for everyone. no matter your experience you will get something out of this class. it was very information and the people in my class asked great questions. read more the class was informative and fun. There are also hands on parts of the class so you do get to be safely interactive. Your not just sitting the entire time listening to a power point. I would do the class all over again. it was great. my instructor was Aaron and he did great.

The Fundamentals course was precisely what I was looking for prior to buying a gun. Grady was an excellent teacher, stressing safety, technique and the need for initial correct and read more ongoing training. They really need to give a short break half way through the course and since it is so much material delivered over a short time, handouts of the PowerPoint presentation or the option to buy Sapp’s book would’ve been helpful.
