Student Feedback

“Best beginner course I found —Instructor Bowman is exceptionally professional and informative! From the moment I parked, instructor Bowman greeted me and gave basic instructions on what to expect going in, how to properly handle the weapon, safety protocols, and made me feel comfortable since it was my first time shooting and handling a weapon. I love the way he taught because it was easy for me to understand and by the end of the session, I felt like I was a pro! I will definitely be back and I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to take his class! 20/20 stars for sure! -

“Mr. Bowman is a great instructor! He thoroughly explains and demonstrates throughout training…as far as my comfort level with my stance and grip! He’s patient but straight to the point the whole time! I highly recommend anyone from beginner to advanced to take his class! -
