If Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth, Wade's is the happiest place where things go boom. I…read morewalked in expecting a normal shooting range experience and instead found the friendliest, most safety‑obsessed staff this side of an FAA control tower. These folks don't just remind you about safety -- they radiate it. I have seen them intervening to help people with everything from inproper stance to improper firearm holding handling to keep the more Inexperienced from hurting themselves. (Even stopped some guy that resembled me from pinching my er i mean their thumb in the hammer once. The gun selection? Unreal. They've got everything from adorable little .22 pistols -- basically the BB gun's slightly more confident cousin -- all the way up to the 50mm Israeli Desert Eagle, a firearm so powerful it should come with its own chiropractor. You can only shoot that beast with staff present, which is fair, because it's less "pistol" and more "portable cannon." The beauty is that you can rent any or all of these for a very reasonable price/ rate And the rifles? Too many to list. If it has a barrel and goes bang, Wade's probably has it. I half expected to see a musket from the Revolutionary War and a 40 watt plasma rifle sitting side by side with a big man in a leather jacket with an Austrian accent asking about it. Between the top‑tier safety, the shockingly friendly staff, and the arsenal that looks like it was curated for the Terminator to protect John Connor and the Smithsonian at the same time, , Wade's is easily a five‑star experience. Whether you're a beginner, a pro, or someone who just wants to feel like an action hero for 30 minutes, this place delivers. Highly recommend. Just don't skip arm day before trying the Desert Eagle. To quote the Austrian guy " I'll Be Bock"

If you need an expert to help you understand your strengths and opportunities as a firearm handler, Clark is who you want teaching and coaching you. His balanced and relentlessly positive approach teaches you the technical aspects of firearm handling and enables you to feel confident, even as a novice shooter. He understands how to work on one thing at a time and help you progress through the procedures to a point of competency. I took his CCW class today. Knowing I have a LOT of practice needed to gain command of proper techniques, I'm already more confident in CCW because I understand the context and procedure to concealed carry and the optimal approach. Now it's time to practice, practice, practice and perfect. Thank you Clark!

Date: 5/15/22 Time: 8am - 6pm…read more I shot a gun for the first time ever during Alan's 9-hour Gun Safety Class yesterday. Long, but worth it/well done! When I think of Alan's teaching style, I think precision. The man is precise & seriously communicated the need to handle firearms appropriately/responsibly. At first, I thought Alan was someone I would be playing DnD or watching the Sci-Fi channel with. But do not let looks deceive you! The man is a committed father to his (9) year old daughter & is handy with the steel if you know what I mean. Alan controls the gun; the gun does not control Alan. That is essentially what he seeks to impart on his students. You experience (4) rounds of firing various handguns in the range. Alan leads the class from the classroom to the shooting range with another instructor or has his own class. Impressive timing. You have (2) other instructors watching you like a hawk. It can be surprising at first, but they move your hands around to help you correctly hold a gun. Bad habits are difficult to correct. I am glad they have this sense of urgency in class. The 2nd Amendment in the US Constitution was put there to empower the individual to protect themselves against a government that had too much power used incorrectly. If you choose to vote to restrict it, at least shoot a gun once to better understand the political arguments on an experiential level. There is already a large segment of the US population that is trying to restrict abortion for women. But how can they be so sure that is the right course of action? How many voting to restrict abortion have had one and/or been forced to have one themselves? To truly understand something like the pain a mother goes through when she decides to abort her baby or why so many Americans are adamant on the 2nd Amendment, you need to experience it. You undeniably get a better understanding through lived experience. The majority of Americans will never have an abortion, but we can shoot guns after a certain age. Take Alan's class & shoot some guns. Come to your own conclusions. As for me, Alan's class makes me proud to be an American. I am looking forward to taking his multi-state permit class next month! Thanks, Alan and team! -----------------UPDATE------------------------- I-1639 + Multi State Concealed Carry Class Date: 6/12/2022 Time: 8am - 12:30pm Instructor: Alan Hines My 2nd class with Alan did not disappoint. I surprised to find a fingerprinting agent there. Excellent value add there. I didn't realize the certificate of completion at the end helped you buy a rifle in WA state. Not my intention, but good to know if you want that. Alan's attention to detail down to the color of the pen you need to use shines here. It's amazing how the smallest error can cause a kickback in your application. What you will notice about this class is that it is gun safety/suicide prevention/WA state heavy. Alan allocates less than an hour for the verbose Utah state classes. I would've liked to see more time spent on that and the nuances of gun permits in other states. What this does emphasize is Insights commitment to gun safety. It's just a personal opinion that I think Alan focuses less on gun safety and more on permit/state laws. A final suggestion is to add filling out the Arizona application. That requires (1) more fingerprinting card & an Arizona specific application. But the gun permit in AZ gets you a permit in New Mexico. Extra work for the fingerprinting agent, but a value add for the customer for sure. I appreciate Alan's organized packet that is in sync with his presentation. Thanks again, Alan! ------------------------------------- Pepper Spray Seminar Date: 6/12/2022 Time: 2pm - 5pm I came back from the Bai Tong Thai Restaurant (I recommend it!) to find that Alan was not my instructor! It was a gentleman named Benjamin. I noticed Alan was in the back of the class. Benjamin's style is more storytelling and fun than Alan's (but Alan's got jokes too!). Benjamin draws on his extensive military & police experience to color his teachings. Like Alan, a committed father & husband who is concerned with the safety of those he loves. Benjamin definitely tells it to you straight. He has a more visceral style than Alan. Mainly because the last part of the class involved him pretending to be an attacker & the students discerning when they could spray him (not real pepper spray of course lol). I didn't participate because I am a bit conflict averse. However, I found it helpful to see an ex-police officer show you what would & would not fly from an officer's perspective. I wish he got more into how the potential legal struggle would pan out if you got into a "He said, She said" scenario where you pepper sprayed someone legally, but they claimed you attacked them. There aren't always witnesses, video or audio. My final feedback is that he wasn't as organized as Alan. Thank you for a fun & useful day, Alan and Benjamin!
