    "I’m new to the AR platform, this course was amazing. My confidence with this weapon has increased tenfold. Unfortunately 20 minutes in I had a mechanical issue. Jeremy and D5 Ranges set me up with a rental to continue and 20 minutes later had my personal weapon fixed and returned to me. The courses, staff, and facility are top notch. Hands down the best around. Special thanks to Jeremy for once again being an amazing teacher and making the course so much fun ! Highly recommend !"
