“Anthony did an outstanding job facilitating the class. He was friendly, personable and thorough. He went beyond just the required material to cover any peripherally related subjects and made sure everyone understood everything that he covered.

During the range portion of the class, he and *** made sure that everyone felt comfortable and relaxed while still practicing proper firearm and range safety procedures. He and *** did an outstanding job teaching the basics of handgun marksmanship. I honestly got more out of the class than I expected and would certainly recommend it to anyone new to firearms ownership.”

“My daughter took a class with Anthony a few weeks ago. She is a complete beginner and while interested, was a bit nervous. He did a wonderful job of not only teaching her what she needed to know to stay safe, but he also put her at ease, and she had a wonderful time. She's also a pretty dang good shot for being a total newbie! Props to a good instructor!” =^_^=

"My wife and I recently attended the Basic Gun Safety class, and we had the pleasure of being instructed by Anthony. He was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. The class was informative and engaging. We learned a great deal about gun safety and responsible handling.

We highly recommend this class to anyone new to firearms or looking to improve their knowledge in a safe and supportive environment. We’re definitely planning to return for more training in the future."
