This was the best instructions we have ever had in Firearms Training! As we all know, Nevada is a…read morefirearms friendly state, and since we moved here from California so many years ago, we did not know anything about firearms. As our family started to grow, we started to take lessons for us and our children so that we could understand how to be safe around firearms, the law and how to respect them. We knew that our kids as they grew up, would be exposed to many that had firearms at home and so we embarked on a journey to learn about gun awareness, gun safety. Fast forward, we needed to really amp up our learnings and to obtain our CCW as well. We had our CCW before, but we allowed it to expire during Covid and it had been to long past the grace period so we needed to take another full course. This time, I was not looking for a classroom setting, set on a specific day with a lot of people. I was looking for small group setting and found out about Tim Stephens and Stephens Firearms training. This was the best choice we could have made. 1. Tim is a strong communicator and very timely as well. He will guide you with all you need to be prepared and ready. The process to obtain a CCW is administratively daunting and Tim guides you through the process with ease, helping us to prepare all our applications well in advance. 2. In terms of class size, Tim customized the class size just for us and we started at 2 of us and ended up with a total of 5 attendees. 3. Dates were negotiated based on everyone's availability which is awesome, as most of the other CCW classes I looked at were set on specific dates and so having customized dates based on our needs was perfect. 4. We were also asked a lot of questions that we had about firearms, what information we were looking for and what we thought we needed to know. It was really great that Tim could incorporate many of these things into the CCW mandated curriculum. On my own, I have "made things up" or developed some inconsistent habits and Tim's focus was all about reality, facts, the law, best practices and consistent / repetitive processes. This was so helpful and a game changer for us. 5. Other trainings I have had in past are more classroom like for the CCW or it is at the range but a bit daunting and too quick. Tim's training is a lot more engaging and personalized, so when we did not understand something or needed something to be repeated, it was great to be able to engage at this level to get a much deeper understanding and value from the course. 6. The actual shooting test was also beyond our expectations as not only did we all qualify, but we also learned additional practical hints. 7. After qualifying, Tim spent additional time with us to give us live hints on how we could go beyond qualifying and actually improve our accuracy as well! The entire process with Tim, from the communication, the learning, the process, the qualifying and then the extra coaching was beyond our expectations and exactly what we were looking for in an instructor and coach. We look forward to more learnings in the future with Tim and we highly recommend him for your CCW training, or any other training.

I am writing this as someone who took the Stop the Bleed course at Boulder Rile and Pistol Club…read more While it's not advertised, during the month of May, it's "Stop the Bleed" month. The members of the club are sponsoring the fee for anyone to take the Stop the Bleed course during this month, so it was completely free for me to take the course today. The classroom was easy to get to via Google Maps and then following the signage to the range. There's no running water out there but there are portable toilets and wash station. The classroom is in an air conditioned building which was nice. Despite the class size of only 4 people today, we had 2 instructors, both emergency medical personnel with military and law enforcement medical experience. During the four hour class we got to practice using various types of tourniquets on ourselves and each other in case we are injured and need to self rescue. We even tested the tourniquet on an instructor wearing a spurting arm cuff so that we could test how good our skills were. In addition to tourniquet techniques, we learnt how to pack and stabilize wounds. For example, if a knife is left in place, to prevent it from moving around and cutting more parts internally, you have to stabilize the knife rather than taking it out. We also practiced on a spurting leg model that was made off of a scan of a real rifle shot victim's leg. You could feel where the bone had been hit and scooped out. We used coagulating gauze to help stop the bleed. Overall the class was fantastic and while I definitely will need to practice, I feel more confident in my ability to help others in distress right now than I did this morning prior to class. I definitely appreciate that the club cares enough about the community that they're willing to pay for anyone to take the course this month. Visited: May 2026

My new friend invited me & my friend Laurie out here the other day for some gun training. We got to…read morewatch his group compete in a time gun shooting competition & then when he was done he took us to the office to check us in. Only 2 guest per members is what the sign says. The man inside the nice air condition trailer was very friendly. You have to give him your ID & sign a form. Process was quick then we followed our friend out to our own little private shooting area. This area is for members only as there is a gate & you have to get out of your vehicle to swipe to get it to open. We grabbed area 10 that had a picnic table (they all do in this area) to sit @ and he went to the trailer to grab the targets & set us up. We got a nice, long, thorough lesson on how to properly hold a gun, the rules of handling a gun, he even had a fake plastic one for us to practice holding along with some other "gun" stuff. There is a small table you can lay your magazines, guns & amino on but it was a little rocky. Anyways my review is about Boulder Rifle & Pistol not my great new friend.......lol This place is super nice, very clean with a great set up. Even the port-a-potties are clean & don't stink!! There is no hand washing station so I would bring some hand sanitizer/hand wipes. Each station has a trashcan to dispose of your trash. You must pick up your bullet casings after you're done shooting & put them in the orange bucket next to the rake. The area we were @ someone didn't pick up their bullet shells naughty peeps! An employee did stop by to check on the trash can. I was amazed @ how nice & clean this range is. I've never shot guns outside just in inside ranges. My friend said it is set up in a way that others shouldn't end up getting shot. You're not allowed to shoot up in the air as that's a safety issue. This place is huge that's all I'm gonna say with different areas to shot in. Very well kept. I'm glad my friend gave us detailed directions on how to get into this place as it can be confusing and a little ways in from the main street. Once your inside you have to oblige to the 10mph speed limit or you can be asked to leave. I got to shoot my friend's Daniel Defense SBR with an 11.5" barrel (see photos & video) which was super cool & to think a few yrs ago I was scared of guns. I found that I really liked his Glock 19, Gen 5, MOS. He had custom triggers on all of his guns we tried out. Friendly suggestions: bring sunscreen to protect your skin. It can get hot out here & some spots do have a nice breeze but dress accordingly. Bring lots of water to drink, even electrolyte ones would be good to have. Bring some snacks just in case you may get hungry. I brought a cooler that I kept some bottle water in with a sandwich I made. I had a change of clothes in the car since I wore long sleeve shirt, jeans & sneakers. I threw on flip flops, shorts & a t-shirt on my way out. It's always a good idea to have a foldable chair in your car to have as an extra seat, even an umbrella to give you shade. I saw a bunch of those pull wagons for the competing guys that they used to lug their stuff around. Remember & know the gun rules (see my photos). Be safe & have fun!!

First the positives: The facility itself is nice looking. It's modern, bright and clean…read more Now for the negatives: I took a CCW class at Green Valley Range (at this point I just want to state for the record, that over the years, I have taken many firearm courses at various gun ranges in NV, AZ, and Utah. All of the instructors I previously had at these classes were great and very qualified). The Green Valley Range instructor I had (his first name was Lou), immediately came across as incredibly arrogant and condescending. First, instead of starting the class with a brief couple of minutes intro about himself (which all my previous instructors had done), he practically spent the whole day talking about himself...he just went on and on, about how knowledgeable and great he was...this guy is way too much in love with himself. The other problem was, that about mid way through the class, Green Valley Range sent a sales person in to try and sell CCW liability insurance. Green Valley Range obviously were taking advantage of a captive audience, in a state required CCW class, to sell their other products. This is at the very least unethical, and may be illegal (and if it's not illegal, it should be). The bottom line is, I did not like the attitude or business practices of Green Valley Range, so I would not go back to them for classes, or anything else.
