"Small class sizes mean near one-on-one instruction" – from customer reviews

Their classes stay intentionally small. One student described taking a class with only 3 people total, where Dan personalized instruction based on different learning styles and backgrounds. That level of attention—walking nervous beginners through range anxiety, breaking down fundamentals for experienced shooters—runs through their reviews consistently.

Dan's background working with military weapons officers and law enforcement gives him credibility. Multiple reviewers mention feeling significantly more confident after his instruction than they did after other courses. He emphasizes safety, state law, and the gravity of gun ownership without the lecture-heavy approach.
