"This class was Great! Very knowledgeable and professional! Great price, clean class room, one of the finest porta potties I’ve come across. I was his only student on a Sunday, instead of a cancellation text, I had a great experience at a discount price. Great to see people doing it for the passion! I will recommend Dinsmore Defence to everyone! "

"Thank you so much for this above and beyond review!!!!! We really appreciate you taking the time to write something so detailed. Reviews like this mean a lot, and it is clear you put real thought into it. This kind of feedback is encouraging and helps more than you know. We’re glad the class still worked out well for you even though it ended up being just the two of us. We never cancel classes due to attendance because it’s nice to still be able to run it and give students a solid one-on-one experience. Thanks for the kind words about the classroom, bathroom and for noticing that we do this because we actually enjoy it. It was great having you here, and we greatly appreciate you saying you’ll recommend us to others. Matthew & Barbie Dinsmore @ DINSMORE-DEFENSE"

"Matthew provided a wonderful class with great real world anecdotes to help solidify and ground the course material. He was able to both demonstrate principles and answer questions thoroughly throughout the class and the private range portion was extremely fun! I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in their CPL or just wanting to learn how to shoot or shoot better. "
