From the start at 8am, I knew this was going to be a great class. Enjoyed myself so much that when I looked at my watch it had already been 4 hours in. Jim”s classroom instruction was thorough, and precise, just like his marksmanship. His ability to teach the fundamentals and more has me scheduling additional training with him. Because of this initial class I have the confidence needed to protect myself and my family at a moments notice. I am looking forward to my family going through his course and my additional training to further build my skills . Thank you Jim! See you soon!
I took the CCW class and it was awesome. Jim is legit and he knows his stuff. He had all of our attention and presented the information thoroughly and clearly. He also had us laughing quite a bit which kept the mood lite. Out on the range was where this guy amazed me. He took shooters and with very little coaching, helped them improve immensely. His style and his experience really solidify the information he imparts. You just can’t help but to shoot better with him. I plan on telling any and all how great his course is and I plan on signing up for more classes.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS IF YOU WANT YOUR CCW IN NV. You can’t do better.
Jim’s classes have not only been educational, but fun and I sincerely enjoy all of it! He’s helped me get much more efficient with my handgun and I’m really grateful for all his help!
I cannot express how happy I am that I took my CCW class with Jim. My husband and I had been talking about me taking a class for a couple of years, and I honestly was dreading it. I wasn’t looking forward to sitting through the material and was nervous about shooting with an instructor I wasn’t familiar with. Jim instantly took away all my doubts and nerves. The class was extremely informative, and the help that Jim gave while shooting was amazing. I want to set up a private lesson just to learn even more from him. Definitely worth the money and time to take this class!
Jim was way better than just your average classroom ‘teacher’ he really did have a way of getting all of us engaged in the conversation, and taking charge of our own learning. The class was enjoyable, Jim is not only very knowledgeable, but he knows how to convey that information over to his students in a way that everyone can understand. I’ll absolutely be back for more classes hopefully in the very near future!
