Testimonials

​Scott's class for CWP is a must for anyone interested in learning proper handgun handling and shooting. Not only did he cover the basics but he offered excellent real world advice on the realities and responsibilities of carrying a concealed weapon. He showed a thorough knowledge of shooting and worked with every student to help them improve their skills. It was a friendly and fun atmosphere where a person new to handguns can feel at ease.
We were encouraged to put a lot of rounds downrange and practiced a number of shooting techniques. By the end of the class the group was using 9mm pistols to hit steel targets from 75 feet! The AR15 was an added surprise that we all enjoyed.
Thanks to Scott and his Team.
