    "This class was amazing and Amanda was very kind and personal. She tailored how she taught us to make sure we all got as much as possible out of the class. She prepared all of us very well will all the tools necessary for basic safety and handling of firearms and gave us so much range practice. Going forward I would 100% take another class with Amanda and will definitely be recommending her to anyone wanting to take this class!!!"
