"This class was excellent! I felt that safety was of paramount importance, and yet we had lots of excellent instruction and lots of good shooting time. I learned so much from this class - stance, grip, aiming, .... Things that are very practical, and I plan to practice - both while training without ammo and every time I'm at the range with live ammo."

"Great training,and I would highly recommend the course. It was more than worth the investment and our Simshot instructors Nick and Jeremy were very knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, and professional. Safety was the utmost priority and my firearm skillset and mental thinking was greatly improved."
