I've taken several basic and intermediate pistol classes / training. But since I haven't practice…read morein over a year plus I experienced a medical condition during that time, I saw a post for a Pistol I class that I was interested in taking. Also, unlike the other classes I've taken, this was completely a dry fire class with no live ammo. I know about dry firing. I've heard dry firing practice was an easy inexpensive training method to improve one's shooting ability. I even went so far as to learn how to dry fire: e.g., no live ammo in the room, etc. But I could never feel comfortable breaking one of the safety rules: placing your finger inside the trigger guard unless you're ready to shoot and pointing your gun at something you don't want to shoot. I know that most negligent gunshots stems from complacency bred by familiarity leading to violating one or more of the gun safety rules. So in my head, I did not want to become so familiar with pressing the trigger inside my home that I risk becoming complacent. I signed up for the class, prepared to go through a lot of the basics I already knew in order to gain confidence and competency to dry fire at home. Yes, we did go over the basics but quickly as the instructor apparently was assessing my skills and knowledge level. In the three hours, I learned several nuggets of gold that were never offered in the previous trainings I've taken. Seriously. And, I also achieved my primary objective of learning enough to gain the confidence to dry fire practice inside my home. Larry has a calm and quiet demeanor, but he definitely had positive control over the training with clear instructions. Also, I like how he didn't sell himself or posture as a "professional" as I've seen other instructors do, just to command their students' attention. He doesn't have to. What I thought was just going to be a supervised review of the basics turned out to be chock full of great learnings. He was ready and willing to give more but I cried, "uncle." I wanted to keep straight the new things I had learned so far so I could work on them on my own. He understood; he wasn't there to impress me with his vast know-how. His goal was clearly and sincerely to help me improve from where I was. I am so impressed and confident about what I can learn from Prescott Firearms Training that I plan to go through the rest of their offerings. I can confidently recommend Larry and Prescott Firearms Training to any gun owner, no matter what level they may be, to improve their gun management skills.

I just completed the 250 Pistol class. It would be difficult to communicate exactly how much I…read morelearned from the experience. I am a long-time hunter but without any previous handgun time. I enrolled in the "Day Zero" class in order to gain some familiarity before the first 250 day. I would highly recommend this approach if you are new to the pistol. The course is not easy, and I had to work at it each day. All to the better. I felt extremely safe through the entire experience. The instructors are thorough professionals and highly attuned to participant safety. I will certainly be going back. 5 of 5, if I could rate them a 10 I would do so.

I cannot express how much i enjoyed my class here at Gunsite. I attended the veterans 250 pistol…read morecourse and it was an amazing week. The instructors were enthusiastic, encouraging, and extremely knowledgable. The facilities are amazing, well thought out, and very clean. Seriously, every bathroom was absolutely spotless. I would have to say that my favorite part about the course was that it was all action. We did not spend countless hours in a classroom learning theory by powerpoint presentation. Everything we learned we learned by doing on the ranges. If you have ever considered taking a course here you need to pull the trigger (see what i did there?) Because you will not regret it.

We had an awesome training session with Gil. He taught my 10 year old gun safety and made sure he…read moreunderstood it before he was allowed to shoot. He taught him how to take apart his gun and what the parts were called. My son loved working will Gil and learned to properly stand and shoot a pistol and a rifle as well as hand grips. Gil also taught me things I didnt even learn in my CCW class. He is very patient and knowledgeable I would recommend him above the rest as he is very detailed. We were also offered snacks and drinks! Now thats customer service. If you want to learn the correct ways to shoot hes your guy.

"See that painted rock on that hill? Hit it."-instructor…read more My favorite quote from my 5 day experience here. Mind you the painted rock was 1600 yards (4800 feet) away. For amateurs like me it took about half a dozen times, but I hit it. I still have found memories of this place and would one day love to come back. Its probably been 5 years now since I attended, but GPS Defense Sniper School was worth every penny. GPS is located in the same complex as Cowtown. Don't know anything about long distance shooting? Don't have a rifle? Don't have ammo? GPS Defense can teach you and provide the rest. This can be a little pricey, but you will become a better shooter guaranteed and get to meet a group of talented people different backgrounds. Go you won't regret it!
