    "Perry and Tony were patient and not in a hurry, like some instructors. They took the time to show me " how" to correct or make it easier to do if it looked like I wasn't quite getting it. Answered all my questions and went above and beyond to make sure I knew how to put gun back together correctly after being clean. Enjoyed the 2 hours and will definitely recommend them to others. Also was impressed with the shooting range. Nice outdoor range. "

    "Debbie, thank you so much for your kind words. It truly means a lot. You were incredibly impressive throughout the session. Watching your confidence grow in just those two hours was one of the most rewarding parts of the experience for us. You came in ready to learn, asked great questions, and stayed committed to getting it right, which is exactly how real progress happens. It was a pleasure working with you, and we’re proud to have been part of your training."
