“Two-day concealed carry class was attended by myself, my daughter, and a friend—all of us at different comfort levels and experiences with handguns. The staff was very professional, direct and nice…I would highly recommend this organization for any training they offer.”

Christopher Grlica

I was pleased with the schooling I received at the private training facilities. Steve and his partner Slow Poke did a great job one-upping my skill level. They commended a safe environment and were clearly experienced and professional…I would train there again.

Jenn Graham

Fantastic group of people. I purchased a firearm and have taken two classes and multiple private lessons. If you’re a beginner, I highly recommend this company.

Jeffrey Bottorff

I recently took the Level 1 Pistol class with my girlfriend, who was terrified of firearms, and it was an amazing experience. I can honestly say this class really reassured, corrected, and improved our fundamentals. I trained with Steve and Danny, amazing instructors…

Kevin Staples

Great class and an awesome experience. The instructors took time to work one-on-one with students and help fine-tune even the most minor details to get the most of every shot. I’m looking forward to an excuse to come to Anchorage again soon.
