Okay, this was a truly unique experience. I wanted to take…read moremy boyfriend here for his birthday, but I was nervous if I would be able to keep up having no experience or idea what this could entail. Thankfully, everything worked out great for both of us. My boyfriend loved it, and it was such a great fun and learning experience. The owner went through everything in detail and helped guide us along the way. They had the outfits to accommodate our sizes. I'm usually 16-18 (5'4) and the pants fit perfect which is nice not having to worry about that. Parking is a bit small, but I don't imagine you would have a hard time parking and the business is tucked away in the back. If this type of thing genuinely interest you, I don't see you being disappointed with your experience I would warn that doing this during the summer, the experience is held in a garage type and it's pretty warm. Even tho we are offered water you're so focused and having fun it's easy to forget. We both run warm and it would have been nice to have a much cooler space to move around in. My favorite thing is, at the end The owner really took his time to get some fun and incredible shots of us and I just really felt that wrapped up the experience so well for me. The thought he put into it is just really sweet. We look like we are coming from the purge or a zombie apocalypse, lol I hope you enjoy yourself as much as we did

If you are looking for something that truly strengthens communication, builds confidence, is…read moreengaging, fun and brings people together, I cannot recommend AZ Tactical enough especially with Michael as the instructor. From the moment we started, Michael was clear, direct, and incredibly helpful. He explained everything in a way that made it easy to understand, whether you're brand new or more experienced. What stood out most was how encouraging and honest he was. His feedback wasn't just generic praise it was specific, constructive, and genuinely designed to help us improve. And when we did improve, he was just as excited as we were. That kind of energy makes all the difference. This experience goes far beyond the activity itself. It forces you to communicate clearly, trust one another, and stay calm under pressure. For families, it's powerful. For marriages, it's eye-opening in the best way you quickly see how you handle stress and how important strong communication really is. And for teams? It's invaluable. It highlights leadership, listening skills, problem-solving, and collaboration in real time. Honestly, I don't know why more companies aren't doing this regularly. It's one of the most practical and engaging team building experiences we've ever done. Whether your group is small or large, this is something every team can benefit from. Strongly, strongly recommend AZ Tactical and if you can request Michael as your instructor, do it. You won't regret it!

Let's start off by agreeing that learning to sail sounds- 1:…read moresuper fun 2: hard Go Sail Arizona, and Cpt Clint made learning super fun, and he did it in a way that made it understandable. In his first few minutes Saturday morning he warned us that he will talk ALOT. Yea- no lie, the man had a lot to say. What was awesome, was that everything he said worked together to teach you how to understand sailing. If you want to go to a class where it's all book oriented and set for a test- this is not the place for you. If you want to understand the principles of sailing- to really understand it, Clint is the guy. I took the test and aced it. I know you probably are thinking "Brendan, your super educated and smarter than Spock" and maybe that's true. But I think I aced the test because Clint taught me how to understand the principles of sailing. I have a few pieces of advice- 1- hit the head (bathroom) before you launch. 2- read the book, don't memorize it 3- leave your ego home. Remember, you don't know how to sail. Accept correction, don't justify or make excuses. Be like an 8 year old kid who is truly curious and willing to learn. 4- make sure you have water and snacks. 5- sunscreen and protection is good. 6- hide some bananas in your bag. If you make a mistake offer it to Clint. It's his favorite food. That's my opinion, and if you've read this far, your probably Clint or a super curious person. If your Clint- thanks again man, that was the best experience I've had in years. If your a super curious person- just pull the trigger, what do you have to lose?

I stopped by Scottsdale Gun Club while visiting from out of state and had a great experience. The…read morestaff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout my visit. They were happy to answer questions and made the whole process easy, especially for someone who hadn't been there before. The facility itself was really nice--clean, well maintained, and professional. They also had a great selection of rental firearms, including some options that I don't normally get a chance to shoot back home. I also thought the pricing for the range, rentals, and ammunition was very reasonable, especially considering the selection they had available. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely come back the next time I'm in the Scottsdale area. Highly recommended for anyone visiting from out of town or looking for a quality range.

I recently took the Handgun Tier 1 Ignite class at Scottsdale Gun Club with Matt and Dan, and I'm…read moretruly glad I did. A few months ago, my home was struck by a stray bullet from a random shooting that happened in front of my house. Since then, a couple of other situations have made me feel unsafe in my own home. That experience led me to consider purchasing a firearm for home protection. I had visited other gun shops before and even spent time at the range, intending to buy a gun -- but every time it came down to making the purchase, I felt unsure and honestly a little scared. The truth was, I simply didn't have enough knowledge or confidence to feel comfortable having a firearm in my house. That's exactly why I signed up for this class -- and it was absolutely the right decision. Matt and Dan were incredibly friendly, approachable, and fun to be around. They created an environment that felt welcoming and judgment-free, which was especially important for someone like me who had some anxiety going in. The classroom portion was extremely informative and covered so many foundational things I didn't fully understand before -- safety, handling, mindset, and practical knowledge that truly builds confidence. We ended the class by going to the range and practicing with a handgun, applying the skills we had just learned. Matt and Dan were with us the entire time -- closely supervising, ensuring safety, and offering hands-on guidance. I never felt alone or unsure. They were attentive and genuinely invested in making sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. While I still plan to visit the range a few more times to continue building confidence, I now feel significantly more prepared and educated than I did before taking this course. If you've ever felt hesitant, intimidated, or unsure about owning a firearm -- especially for home protection -- I would highly recommend this class. It gave me the knowledge and confidence I was missing, and I'm very grateful for the experience.

Went to Peoria for the last week of Spring Training Baseball with my 12-year-old boy this year. Had…read morean off day on that Sunday with no plans yet determined. Was going to see if we could rent some e-bikes and ride up & down the New River Trail. Glad that I changed plans! Ended up considering the possibility of a desert UTV tour but didn't think that it would be able to work out due to the short notice and all the stipulations required just to rent something. Was looking at all the local sites and reviews when I came across a recent review from a gentleman for Size Matters that sounded similar to the situation that I was currently in. So, I reached out to Mike via text message to see if he had any open spots for the day (bear in mind, this was at 6:45am). To my surprise, he responded! After a few texts, we then spoke on the phone and made our plans for the day to meet at 10am. Mike took us on a great tour just out of his own back yard in Buckeye and along the Hassayampa River area which had recently flooded. There was plenty of water and mud to make things exciting. I think we were out there for about 3.5 hours or so and only came in early because my son was getting hungry. We had a blast! Mike was a great guide, always scouting ahead and making sure it was safe for us and providing insights on the local landscape and recent happenings along the way. We didn't feel rushed or like "just another tourist" in any way. Hell, when we got back, he even cooked us some burgers for lunch!! Mike and his family were super-accommodating, and I greatly appreciated the no-nonsense approach to how he handles his business. We are planning on making this Spring training trip more frequently in the future and will definitely keep Size Matters on our itinerary each time. Shoot, we might even let Mom join us!

Mike was easy to work with, had great machines, stopped to tell us stories and facts on the area and we all felt safe with him and his pup, Sas, who came along for the ride. Mike had an extra jacket for my daughter, brought some snacks and water/soda's and is just a great dude. Up and down mountains, abandoned homesteads in the middle of the desert, wild cows and beautiful sights are all there. This is the Atv/Utv rental place to call. Don't give it a second thought. Thanks, Mike!!!

Bill showed me the available skis and which ones he recommended. He said to text him when I was ready to reserve. So I texted him to reserve about 10 days before I needed the skis and he told me to let him know 60 min before I arrived the day of. Last Saturday I let Bill know only about 30 min before I arrived but the skis were ready to go -- no problem. Bill and his staff are friendly and thorough with their safety and liability processes. I'd had a rough morning getting ready for the lake and camping, so when I experienced a blow out on the ski trailer on my way out to Lake Pleasant it was nice when Bill sent his guy up to Dove Valley and I17 to change the tire. The skis worked great, my son and his friends had a blast -- so all was good. I will definitely go back in the spring.

July 12 visit. A wonderful place!

We shot targets for an hour and it was amazing because we enjoyed learning new things and I was able to show my family some techniques that they don't know as they don't go to gun ranges to try out new pistols in New York City. My reason for the 4 stars is... it just would be nice if the staff would offer a quick little safety reminder of Tips to people. Even start just some basic guidelines on the rules of the facility, not necessarily how to shoot a gun, but how to be safe in the space; that way, you don't have to be spoken to, but more importantly, it would be a nice addition just to feel more comfortable. Finally, the gentleman who checked us in was attentive, knowledgeable, and a delight. I would definitely do this more when I have guest come from out of town who have never had this experience.

My brother previously had attended this course and highly recommended Arizona Home Defense and Virgil. I called and spoke with the instructor, Virgil, who was able to get hubs and I booked into class the very next evening. yay! We showed up and Virgil had everyone's paperwork set up, so we could start filling everything out for the background check and fingerprints before class, which was awesome so we wouldn't have to sit there after the course to get everything done. The course itself was great -- short, sweet, to the point. Virgil gave us the information quickly and thoroughly covered required materials. He has a lot of experience/knowledge in guns overall and has a great sense of humor, however, if you offend easily, wear earmuffs or quietly bleep all the f-bombs in your head while he talks. I, personally, thought he was hilarious and the f-bombs didn't bother me (military guys use it 17 times in a sentence with 25 words, haha). After the course we got our fingerprints taken and were on our way, completed paperwork in hand (YOU have to mail the paperwork in for the CCW card but all instructions are included with your packet). I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to take a CCW class... you'll thank me later that you didn't spend an excruciating whole day training on material that Virgil can deliver to you in one evening.
