My husband and I took the Advanced training & Cleaning Class with Pavel & Johnnie. WOW!! What a Huge learning experience!! Made me wish I had taken my CPL Class with them. We learned so much about self defense tactics and ways to train at home and on the range. They were so patient with our many questions-giving concise responses!! Best experience by far!! We had a 2+ hour drive to attend their training, but well worth it!!

I attended a children's firearm safety class with my grandson. It was really a informational for the kids. They were allowed to shoot a variety of small caliber guns/rifles at the range. Supervised of course. My grandson was very excited. This should be available to all children whether there's a gun at home or not. You never know when or where they will come across a gun. Thank you Brian, Pavel, Johnny and Dino for teaching a much class. I enjoyed as well.

This was my second time taking Pavel's Advanced range and gun cleaning class. Very glad I did, as I came into this with very little gun experience. I was able to reinforce what I had learned, and the second time there were a whole new series of drills that I was exposed to. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning about gun safety, operation, and or wishing to build confidence!

Amazing experience & amazing teachers, pavel has a very good way of teaching & training, makes everyone feel involved, they don’t just read from the slides they have conversations & talk about real life scenarios, 10/10 recommend this class for anyone looking to get their Cpl!
