"My wife and I took Doug's class a few years back. I had military firearms training, but my wife had none. He made her comfortable with the process and kept the class fun. I highly recommend Doug."

"If you're looking to get trained on firearms and licensed, Doug is your man. He's knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. We were amazed at how much we retained—and we're both over 60. He lives what he does, and it shows."

"Doug did an invaluable service for us. That was a great learning experience and thanks to you, a very enjoyable one. Your professionalism was a joy to observe. Thank you for the fantastic photos!"
