Really enjoyed all phases of the two days of instruction.. Jim and his assistants very friendly and informative. Will work with “YOU” till you have it. I am 75 years old and had a wonderful time.
I have taken this class 4 times now. I drive all the way from Oregon. I own a firearm store and I bring a group of 10 for every class from my shop. We will be back again!! Thank you Jim for such a awesome class!!
My husband and 14 year old son and I have all taken this class now. I can not say enough about the caliber of education we’ve received. We’ll definitely be back for more classes and advanced classes. Well worth the trip from Oregon!
We were presented with excellent information ! Jim is a skilled instructor, presenting the materials in layers. Easy to follow. Range time was also presented in layers so we were able to implement one skill on top of the next. Along with great material, Jim also used humor to keep us alert. I would highly recommend Jim’s class !!
When you have a subject matter expert, who instructs this day in and day out, is as giddy as you are at your inevitable success. That pretty much sums up the experience with Jim. Knowledgable, personable, professional, and credible are what you are looking for in any instructor. Jim and his compadres have it nailed down. I’m a lifetime shooter/hunter and had no idea how little I knew. Jim took what I had, tweaked it, corrected it, and improved it. By the second day everything started to come together and while I certainly have a way to go, 1000 yards with my out of the box rifle and scope were a done deal. Jim and company are up close and personal and immediately available for feedback, critique, and praise. Fantastic crew and experience. Hell, I’d pay just for the camaraderie, but I’ll be going again to improve upon my new knowledge and skills and inevitably to correct self-taught bad habits.
