Jim did a private shooting lesson for myself and my mom. He was so kind and patient and explained everything about beginner gun safety and operation so well. It was a wonderful mother-daughter bonding activity and we both will continue to take more lessons from him!

I have taken multiple classes from Jim and every single time I have left a better shooter. It has honestly been the best investment in shooting I have made. Jim has the gift of being able to break down complex movements and processes into an understandable format and he gives you the necessary feedback to identify and fix what you’re doing wrong. Jim’s instruction also evolves with the times and he incorporates the most current concepts and processes. I think my only regret is that I didn’t take these classes sooner, dollar for dollar they are the best way to improve as a shooter and Jim is a phenomenal instructor with decades of experience and elite level training. Trust me, take the class.

What an amazing class from Jim, Mike, and Dave. Took a full day long range class with a buddy and had the time of our lives. Had a blast (literally) and learned an immense amount of info that I couldn’t have gotten anywhere else. From setting up the rifle to YOU, all the way to learning how to shoot targets at an unknown distance…they covered it all. First time shooting past 100yds and we got all the way out to 1000yds with relative ease after Jim’s instruction. I cannot recommend this class enough.

Jim and the crew made me feel welcome and comfortable. I’ve been shooting a long time but the additional instruction and one on one attention is truly where this training shines. A high level professional and yet down to earth approach makes shootings and beginners welcome and creates a great learning environment. Bring the kids or the buddies to any of SPI’s events with confidence!!

I’ve taken several classes by Jim Erwin. He has something for everyone and all skill levels. Excellent instructor and very personable. I truly enjoy his classes. Being a veteran myself, I have had instruction by many professionals and have taken many classes and courses over many years. Jim is an excellent instructor and has an easy to understand approach to learning. He doesn’t come with the attitude or demeanor of someone that has done a lot of “stuff” and thinks they’re better than you or talk down to you. He’s obviously tip of the spear and elite of the elite. Part of that 1% that have done what he’s done, skillset and knowledge. I’ve seen him explain things simply to someone that has minimal experience and a bit nervous, to talking to people that have been there and done that. Being a veteran, it doesn’t bother me about someone yelling at me during training, but at my age now, I usual prefer not to deal with that. Jim Erwin is excellent in this department. Takes safety seriously but doesn’t talk down to you or try to make you feel stupid. This makes for a better training environment. Even after many years of training, I still am able to learn something new from Jim and even that “aha” moment where something has been explained before but I never truly understand and Jim is able to explain it in a relevant way that I get it. He can make the training as easy as you want and as hard as you want depending on skill level, while continuing to challenge you. Never stop training. Easier to stay ready than to get ready. Thanks for your instruction and service Mr. Erwin.
