Real reviews from our firearms training students
Todd made the class fun and so informative. I learned a new grip that made my accuracy 10x better. My brother and I both would recommend his class!
Todd was fantastic!! He made the class energetic and fun to learn. I would absolutely attend another class with him! You can tell how serious he takes this class without making it intimidating. He genuinely wants you to learn and that was very apparent to me!
Todd did a great job going through proper firearm protocol and safety. You can tell he's really passionate about what he does and genuinely wants his students to be successful. 10/10!
