Additional Notes from Your Instructor

Clothing Wear appropriate range attire. Meaning, no open toe shoes, no tank tops. Pants are advised, as well as shoes you don’t mind getting dirty as we will be outside in the dirt. We will be out in the sun, so wear a hat if needed, use sun screen if needed and bring sun glasses if you desire. Bring any drinks (no alcohol), snacks etc so you are comfortable. Cell phone service is very poor at the range location.

    "Burrill's Defensive Pistol Class was an outstanding experience, so much so that I went again, and this was my 2nd time with him, I even convinced two of my friends to join and we all really enjoyed it and would go again. BJ has several decades of experience and it shows with every comment he makes. His personalized guidance gave me and my friends tangible improvement in our shooting skills. The positive atmosphere and camaraderie among classmates made learning incredibly enjoyable, leading to significant improvements in my ability to move and shoot accurately, fire from cover, and operate effectively under stress. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to elevate their defensive pistol proficiency; it's truly a fun and rewarding journey."

    "B.J. really got into details and created plausible scenarios that could occur in real life from various malfunctions to injuries. Having done more shoot from the holster courses than i can remember, the lessons i learn from this class will never be forgotten."
