    "Good day to All. This is my first class, with Pat. But I have attended three shooting classes with his instruction. ALL have been top notch and fun to attend. Pat is very knowledgeable about shooting and about the daily life of carrying. He presents scenarios that make a person that carries think about. But as carrier, we should always be playing scenarios in our heads. I like Pat's style of teaching. I will be back for training and shooting as often as I can. Thank You, USCCA AWS #1932"

    "I have CCW permits from 5 different states and over the years have been to quite a few, required, training sessions for CCW applications and renewals. Pat Cahill with Buffalo Ridge Defense was by far the best and most informative instructor and class I have attended by far! I recommend this course with Pat well worth your time. Michael D Sellers"
