When my sight reticle stopped working, he and the team helped me out by getting a new battery. He even paused my hour so I didn't loose range time while the issue was being taken care of. That level of customer service stood out to me. The facility was clean and well maintained, staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Huge shout out again to Scott and the team for going the extra mile and making sure we had a great experience. Highly recommended and will be back.

July 12 visit. A wonderful place! I went with my family of various ages, teenagers and adults and…read moremy mother; and we were all able to have our own lanes to shoot, we had our own guns, but also we were able to rent other guns. 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.

Arizona Defensive Firearms Training is owned and run by a quality owner. I had an issue, but he…read moregot involved and made everything right. We all know things do not always go the way they are supposed to and that is just how life is. What is most important is when there is an issue that the issue is acknowledged and resolved quickly. Arizona Defensive Firearms Training is a company that does just that. If you are looking to get the requisite training certficiation for a CCW permit which is what I was in need of, then I encourage you to go to Arizona Defensive Firearms Training. The ownership is top notch, strives to provide a quality product (service) and has years of experience with firearms, therefore is well set up to provide you the certification you are seeking. I highly recommend Arizona Defensive Firearms Training.

My wife came out of the class much more comfortable handling, loading, and shooting her pistol. The class helped me with my accuracy by giving me a few directions. Kevin and Lance gave a very good classroom portion shoeing the importance of gun safety and general knowledge. Then we all got to have hands on target shooting with one instructor per 2 "students" The price was very easily worth the day and the knowledge that came out of it! Thank you again Kevin and Lance!

With a bit of encouragement from my friend we went. Tom is an excellent instructor. He was pleasant, patient but most importantly knowledgeable about guns and most importantly gun safety. He explained and demonstrated how to handle and fire a gun clearly which made me feel comfortable. I would recommend Tom for firearms instruction to anyone.

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.
