Since then I've challenged myself and took additional classes from them. Great guys, super informative and always looking for student input to improve and grow. Always safe and not over bearing. I'll continue to take classes from the and look forward to seeing them again.

Ken and his instructors were very knowledgeable and provided an excellent class covering foundational and advanced shooting techniques.

It was a full 2-day, 16-hour program, but the team did an excellent job making it both comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish. The training facility itself is clean, well-organized, and comfortable, which made a big difference during a longer course like this.   Their attention to detail really stood out. Everything was explained clearly, and they made sure everyone fully understood the material - not just to pass, but to be responsible and confident moving forward.   Big thanks to Bo, Mike, and Luis - all three are extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and professional. They bring real-world experience and create an environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and learning.   Also, a nice bonus... they provided lunch on day two, which was a great touch and shows how much they care about their students.   Overall, top-notch training and a great experience. I'd absolutely recommend Southwest Training Center to anyone serious about getting their CCW done right, or any other firearms or medical related training.

I'll credit that to Mike, too.

In our class he was constantly peppered with questions, which he welcomed and answered thoroughly and thoughtfully. I also want to note that as a petite woman who was by myself I was able to feel comfortable and welcomed which I honestly wasn't sure would be possible in what is traditionally a conservative male space. I am so grateful to have found Resounding Arms and will be doing more training in the future! And, of course, I have to mention that the Range LA is wonderful!
