    "Our instructor had all of the necessary cleaning tools set out for each student and we began our training with how to use them. She did an excellent job of "Show, Review, Now you Do." The class was very easy to understand and we were able to ask questions at any time. I learned to clean my gun properly and discovered a few things about my gun I did not know. I found the class to be very helpful."
