Nancy and I enjoyed your classes tremendously. We both learned a lot, and gained a solid basis for improving our skills. Before your class, Nancy would not even touch a pistol, and I was not qualified to teach her anything. Now, she wants to know when we can go shooting again, and I’ll be comfortable taking her to a range.

I wanted to thank you for the class today. You are a great instructor and did an exceptional job handling the various levels of familiarity with firearms in the class. I learned several things I clearly need to practice and look forward to further classes.

You took a lot of the "mystique" out of reloading.
Again, I really appreciate your patience!

NRA Personal Protection in the Home
Dr. William Petit and his family were attacked in their home in Cheshire, Connecticut, on July 23, 2007, by two thugs who followed Mrs. Petit home from a grocery store.  They beat Dr. Petit almost to death, forced Mrs. Petit to withdraw $15,000 from the bank on the promise of doing no harm to her and her daughters.  They then raped and strangled Mrs. Petit, sexually assaulted the youngest daughter, and burned the house with the daughters still alive, inside.  Dr. Petit escaped and survived.

The Petits were unarmed and defenseless.
I will be signing up for more classes, hopefully, soon.  I look forward to taking the personal protection class at the end of this month.

Eleven-year-old girl shoots fourteen-year-old sister in the head with a 20 ga. shotgun while “playing CSI,” when the parents were not home.  The victim did survive.
I enjoyed the classes, and you did a great job of covering alot of information as well as making the information understandable, practical, and interesting.

Great group!
Thank you for taking such good care of my mom.  She learned a ton from you and couldn't be more excited about her class.  You gave her a great experience and that is what she needed.
