I was given John's information from a friend who recommended him for his conceal carry permit…read moreclass. I was not let down. He begins the class by telling everyone the class should be three days long and he's right. He did an excellent job of putting the important content into an 8 hour class. The content flowed well, was prioritized accordingly and communicated very clearly. He encouraged questions at any time throughout the day. As someone who has grown up around firearms of all types it only took 15 minutes to determine John truly is an expert who's highest priority at all times is gun safety. Top to bottom John covers what you need to know to make informed decisions. He offers other courses that I plan on attending in the near future. Any cons I could think of....the course is 8 hours. All of 8 hours. It is long but that is not John's choice, it is a state requirement. Be prepared for a full day. And if it were up to John, for the sake of his students, it would be longer. I strongly recommend anyone considering owning a firearm to take his course even if they do not plan to carry concealed.

I'm a big fan of the sporting clays, they change it up pretty often so it never gets old. The range master for the pistol/rifle range is super nice and knowledgeable. Would be a great place for a corporate event. They host lots of tournaments and events as well. I believe they have lessons, also. They sell ammunition in the lodge. The lodge itself is super cozy and a good place to grab a beer when you're done. They allow you to bring food in, but may jokingly ask if you brought some to share. Membership isn't very expensive, we actually gave it as a gift to my father in law (and are members ouesl Really fun place to spend a few hours and very conveniently located right across the river from downtown

The classroom session was very educational and Mr. Newman is very knowledgeable in the area of handgun operations and handgun safety, the many different laws and regulations pertaining to handguns and concealed carry, and real life scenarios where you can visualize and learn the many techniques and postures for safely and properly response to and handle these different situations that will end up saving your life and the lives of others. The handgun shooting qualification session was even more fun and I got hands on experience and guidance on how to properly load and unload a pistol, how to properly grip and aim, and best of all learning the correct shooting posture and position to achieve the best result of hitting where you are aiming. I currently do not own a handgun and Mr. Newman was generous enough to rent me his own firearm so I can go through the qualification round. Mr. Newman takes him time in covering all aspect of the training class and shooting course, and often give me the opportunity to asks any question I may have as he move through the training materials. I highly recommend Mr. David Newman if you are a new gun owner, or thinking about becoming a gun owner, or even if you are an average experienced gun owner, you will definitely benefit from the many different training and training levels Mr. Newman's offer in his training catalog.
