The reviews show a real mix: complete beginners who've never held a gun, people transferring from other states' permits, experienced shooters wanting formalized training, and couples taking classes together. One student was so nervous she was shaking before the range—the instructors worked with her the entire time and she not only completed the course but passed.

"This husband and wife duo is the best. Friendly fun and most importantly, there are very informative about their craft. They definitely made this a fun and interesting class." — Jay Meade

Erk and Lexen teach to the lowest denominator, meaning they don't assume prior knowledge. They use high energy, visual teaching methods, and interactive elements (reviewers mention Jeopardy games to keep people engaged). Safety is the stated priority—muzzle discipline and safe handling are emphasized constantly. Despite the serious subject matter, people consistently mention leaving the class entertained.

"By far best course I have been to. The instructors are very professional, knowledgeable, and full of energy." — Matthew Wallace

The consistent theme across 50+ reviews: the instructors actually care whether students learn. One retired professor noted that as an educator, he recognized excellent teaching. Another student (a Marine with 20+ years of shooting experience) said they learned things they didn't know despite decades of military training.

People mention weekday classes available to accommodate different schedules, and many reviewers indicate they're planning to take additional courses.
