I couldn't be more impressed with this company! Literally life saving lessons have been learned with each and every class I've completed. Will is amazing. He somehow always finds a way to make the complicated simple and easy to understand. The classes are exhilarating and you get to take part in activities you could never practice at home. I find we far too often overestimate our skill set or think that because we imagine ourselves doing something we would be able to do it in real life. This couldn't be further from the truth. FFT courses have shown me that I must practice in real life and that we are only as good as our level of training. It was both humbling and informative to learn where my skill limits are and what I need to work on. Proudly, I can say that I left better than when I arrived. My shot groupings were tighter, I was more confident in my grip and stance, and most importantly, my knowledge of how to survive and thrive in a dangerous situation increased ten fold. If you are in need of firearms training or simply just want to get better and be more confident in your ability to protect yourself and family, FFT courses are an absolute must. Looking forward to more courses in the future. read more

Recently took the Carbine Immersion course and I have to say as usual the course was excellent. I have taken several courses from FFT and the curriculum is always very well thought out, practical and progressive. They take you from the basics to advanced skills methodically and safely. The thing I particularly like are the stress drills where they safely induce stress situations and make you operate under them. It always amazes me how the simplest things can become difficult under physical or psychological stress. Will and the other instructors are very good and experienced and safe. I can't understate the safety practice of FFT. When you have several people of varying degrees of skill and experience operating lethal weapons in close proximity safety can easily be compromised. Never felt that way while at FFT. If I had one critique is if the class size is at the maximum sometimes I feel like would like to get more reps in on a particular drill but I guess that is what skills day is for. Thanks for the good work. Looking forward to the next class. Cheers. Dud. read more

I completed my third training course at Florida Firearms Training in Okeechobee in early August. I have now been trained by the three primary instructors Will, Stevan and Brad. While each demonstrates the same high level of professionalism and knowledge, and are excellent in their instructor role, I appreciate the value received which comes from the one-on-one interaction and sharing of their individual experiences, perspectives and shooting knowledge. So far, I've completed the Pistol Immersion Course, both Levels One and Two, and Advanced Defensive Shotgun. These are really excellent courses that I would recommend to anyone who is working on improving their defensive handgun or shotgun skill set. The courses are realistic, safety oriented and very well run. I'm looking forward to my next class! read more

Attended FFT Advanced Defensive Handgun Level 1course at Okeechobee shooting sports( awesome facility) I am former Military, former Law Enforcement and very familiar with all forms of guns. Felt like I needed to shake off the rust and get some up to date training. Brad was a great instructor who presented a informative, fun, instructional course, that I walked away with knowing my strengths and weaknesses and what to work on, now, and in the future! I have signed up for several more courses in the future. In the afternoon Brad gave a Intro to handguns course that my wife attended and she could not of been happier and relaxed, she commented as well how superior Brads instruction was and how excited she was to find FFT and will be attending more advanced courses. Thank you Brad! read more

Hello, I have been training with Florida Firearms Training for just under 10 years. I was completely new to shooting at the time I started. Any skill I may have at this time I attribute to Will and his team. Will vets his instructors and they have taken the same classes as you do countless times over before they allow to instruct, so the information you get is not diluted or altered. A lot of his instructors seem to be drawn from the armed services and emergency service personnel so they already have the experiences and skill in high stress situations. Communication is good, Class content right on point, Range layout is a good safe environment, Price is well worth it and Hey you may get some swag. Good Job FFT. See you in a couple of weeks for my third class of the season. read more

My husband & I took the Firearms Safety Course today with Rizzo and Nick at the Palm Beach Shooting Center and learned so much. They were informative, engaging and very knowledgeable. They were able to answer any question that was asked although there didn't seem to be many questions from the students and I believe that was because they explained things so thoroughly. The instruction section of the class went by so fast and before I knew it, we were at the range. For someone like me who is definitely a novice, they were there every step of the way to make me feel comfortable and teach me the correct way to handle and shoot a firearm in the safest way possible. This class was one of the most interesting classes I've ever taken. read more

This is a "Must Have" course experience for anyone who considers themselves competent with their own firearms. If you are not competent yet, I can wholly recommend Florida Firearms to provide you with excellent basic through advanced instructional pistol courses. If you have your Florida CCW I think this is one of the most urgent and practical courses anyone has to offer anywhere. This is a must have. Instructors themselves have professional experience providing Executive Protection for various Gov Agencies oversees and here in the US. Please take the requisite courses first and put this at the TOP of your list! - Utah read more

Retook the Advanced Defensive Handgun 1 class this weekend. Absolutely embarrassing how much I forgot from the first time I took this class. Will and Mike were superb as they walked us through the basics of drawing from the holster, presenting to the target, the three sighting techniques, and shooting while moving, among other things. It all starts with the right grip, and they analyze your grip first to give you the best opportunity to succeed. As they say, they teach one way of doing things, not THE way. I absolutely recommend them to you to extend (or start) your training. I will be back for ADH2 next year. read more

Just completed the 3 day pistol immersion 1 class on 1/21/2019. Will, Steve, & Brad were amazingly knowledgeable, professional, and patient with this average civilian handgun owner. The course not only introduced new skills to challenge us and real life senarios, it also introduced us to drills to take home and practice for increased competency. The pistol immersion 1 course was life changing as it relates to the quest of being a responsible gun owner. I look forward to future courses with Florida Firearms Training. I highly recommend their training programs. Thank you Will, Steve, & Brad Donnie S. read more

I've been training with this company for over 3 years. The instructors are very knowledgeable, safety focused, and professional. My reason for training is self defense and the advanced classes focus on how to teach you to fight with a gun, not just shoot. The instructors explain why they recommend a specific tactic/skill so you understand how it applies to real life and the drills days allow you to practice the skills you've learned using different scenarios. As a female I can also say the instructors create a comfortable and respectful environment in which to train. I highly recommend this company. read more

Florida Firearms Training is the real deal. They teach what works and are not trying to impress students with war stories. All the instructors make sure we understand why we do what is being taught and to ask questions if we don't know why. It's always about making the students better defensive shooters and prepared in the unfortunate event of needing to use a firearm to defend ourselves. I have taken the entire pistol, carbine, and shotgun curriculum with them and have learned a lot. I highly recommend them for any one that wants to learn how to effectively use firearms. read more

You will not have a better experience with firearm training! If you are inexperienced with firearms you will want to train with Will, Steve and Brad. They are knowledgeable and extremely patient. These guys know their stuff and know how to communicate. I have taken a couple classes (which are very reasonably priced) and recently attended their tactical day which was a blast. And by the way, SAFETY is their primary concern. If you want to be a bigger threat to the bad guy then you are to yourself check these guys out. You will not regret it. They are great. read more

This is a great group to train with - Will, Megan, Steven, Jason... and others, are knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. All the instructors have relevant and real-world experiences they bring to the table. They offer a wide spectrum of classes throughout the year, and they are always adding more. I've taken 9 training courses with the team at FFT and can't recall any bad experiences. If you are this thinking about leading to be more proficient with your handgun, rifle, or shotgun, do yourself a favor and start with Florida Firearms Training. read more

This firearms training company has been my favorite for years! These guys are down to earth and teach you great new skills. They have all sorts of different training packages and they truly make you feel comfortable while your learning. I can't tell you how many companies I have utilized and never went back because the trainers take it too serious and thought they were training navy seals. Will and his team give great instruction and make sure your comfortable with each step before moving on. I can't recommend enough this company! read more

An absolute blast! No regrets, in fact I am a frequently returning customer. Jason, Steve, and Will are nothing short of top tier instructors and professionals.

Definitely would say that I feel more confident in my abilities after taking training with Florida Firearms.

I definitely recommend Florida firearms to those I Care for and love and you to as long as you a good guy or gal. read more
