Testimonials:

I recently took Dave's Defensive Firearms Skills 1 and 2 class and have to commend Dave, and his staff, on a highly professional, yet easy going and fun training session. Dave and his team presented the information in a clear, easy to understand manner with the intensity needed to make all crucial skill sets known. Defensive firearms skills are not a subject to take light hearted or as a game, and Dave made that point clear. What is unique about Dave is that he can present very serious information in a manner that nails the important points across yet keeps you laughing all day and doesn't make you uncomfortable. For me, a 26 year old female, I was shy at first, and I was hesitant to take the class because I didn't want to be bombarded by people trying to convince me that I should carry my firearm. It has been something I've been considering and this class definitely helped me feel more confident in myself to where, if I would decide to carry, I would know how to properly use my firearm and make it a tool of protection and not harm. Dave makes you comfortable and dose not enforce his views on you, he is there to help you learn what you need to to make the right decision for you and you alone. You can tell he truly cares! I highly recommend this class for anyone person who carries, is considering carrying or is just interested in getting into shooting. Thanks again Dave, this class helped build my self confidence and my shooting skills!

Dave is a patient instructor who works through each part of the course -with care and attention to both detail and safety.

This class is worth every cent it costs and the time one invests. I never thought I could fire nearly 300 rounds of ammo in an afternoon with safety at the forefront of every event.

This experience gave me both a great sense of comfort with and respect for my firearm. Dave and his assistant instructors watch you like a hawk. Make a mistake and they catch and correct it.

Dave Jenkins is a born teacher. I know, I've been teaching for 32 years as a university professor. Dave loves his work and it shows.
