Customer Reviews

When I attended the course, I had not used a handgun in over 20 years. I didn't know what to expect and was extremely nervous. From the start I was made to feel at ease. We realised I had booked the wrong session but the instructor obligingly compensated without making a fuss. The instructor was very professional but approachable and gave excellent instruction. He was patient and observant, helping me address errors as they arose. I left feeling exhilirated from the experience and more confident in my future as a gun owner. Thank you so much! - Barbara


I really enjoyed my Basic Handgun Course and honestly felt completely comfortable throughout the entire experience. The one-on-one training was incredibly valuable because everything was done at a pace that worked for me, which allowed me to properly focus, learn and take in everything I needed to know. I learned how to handle my handgun correctly and safely, as well as how to shoot faster while still maintaining control and confidence with every shot. I really appreciated the personal attention and the way everything was explained and demonstrated. I definitely feel that I benefited tremendously from the course and have gained a lot more confidence in my ability to handle my handgun responsibly. I will absolutely be doing more courses in the future, as I can already see how much value there is in continuing to learn and improve. Overall, a really great experience and one I would highly recommend! - Bianca
