"FANTASTIC CLASS AND TRAINING!!! I walked in nervous, skeptical and with no confidence. Joel “PT” Jones practically took me by my hand and gave me the confidence, knowledge, and skills to actually make me comfortable to be a gun owner. I am looking forward to taking more classes, and practicing my skills. I’m glad I joined the gun club and “PT” is an AMAZING instructor. I really cannot say enough good things about “PT” and his class."

"Strong Arms Gun Club is a productive, fundamental learning experience. Instructor Joel "PT" Jones, demonstrates exceptional skills and patience for participants, one on one and in group settings. He teaches you training skills, you may think you're not capable of learning. He is very invested in the safety of others. It is a privilege to train firearm safety and hands-on demonstrations through his organization. I highly recommend Strong Arms Gun Club to beginners and experienced concealed carriers. You learn something new and there is always room for improvement. "

"PT does an exceptional job training. He’s a positive yet challenging instructor. I have been uncomfortable as a new gun owner. PT’s kindness in teaching fundamentals necessary for competency has brought me from an awkward gun handler to a more confident shooter. My goal is to be excellent at shooting and self-defense, although I’ve dreaded the firearm journey. It has become a constructive and even joy filled quest. PT has made it that. "
