I just wanted to write a short note to express my gratitude to the folks at APT Academy. I am a 63 year old woman. I have been attending their Tactical Handgun 1 class since 2013 and have attended 9 times ... while some people may think that's a waste of time or money, I don't. I go back to the class at least once a year to refresh my skills and knowledge, and to remind myself there is always more to learn. Every time I attend one of their classes, I come away with new information, or a new technique to help me protect myself and my loved ones better. They teach me more than shooting skills, and their personal protection information is invaluable. I now think constantly "what if..." and prepare myself mentally for possible scenarios and what I would do to protect or defend myself in those scenarios.
BJ and Kat have a great facility and go out of their way to make me and everyone else feel like family. I feel more like family at APT than I do with my own blood family. BJ and his team are great trainers, and never make me feel badly about my need for extra instruction. They take the time to work one on one with students who need extra attention while also making sure those more advanced students are also able to advance their skills.
BJ and Keith are always good for instructing me on the little things I forget, or the things I need reminders on, and help me without making me feel like I'm a failure for forgetting from my previous classes. Both BJ and Keith work to build my skills and confidence while still making sure I am aware I need to continue to work on these skills while not in class.
While I have told the folks at APT Academy how much I appreciate them, I want to make sure that others are aware of just how much they are appreciated too. People are usually quick to criticize businesses and people when they do something wrong, but not nearly as quick to compliment them when they do a good job. I want to make sure they know I am grateful for them and their instruction and feel safer in my life because of them. Thanks again APT Academy!! I will see you again very soon! read more
