What fun I had! Bill is not only a fantastic instructor, incredibly knowledgeable, patient and personable, but he's great company to boot. You'd be hard pressed to ask Bill anything about guns and gun safety that he doesn't know, or to find a better instructor. I couldn't recommend him more for anyone wanting a great experience to learn about, use and feel more comfortable around firearms. We'll be going back to see Bill again for sure. Such a fun time, thanks, Bill!

He was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole lesson. I enjoyed it so much I'm going to continue lessons with him until I feel more comfortable with guns.

I'm a beginner and that day at the range was my first time actually firing a firearm. Mike & Mike Sr.are fantastic instructors, who shared their hard won experiences working in the law enforcement and professional protection field.

They both shared valuable insights and tips that benefited me as a beginner and the more advanced students who attended. I highly recommend this class for anyone looking to learn the basics and walk away with new skills they can drill on their own. Thank you Split Fire for the fantastic training!

It seems silly, but your child may someday come upon a gun or be handed one by a dumb friend. Accidents happen and people do stupid things. Kelly taught all 4 of my kids and my wife (and me) how to handle a pistol safely how to operate it safely, how a range operates. How to fire them safely and accurately. I think this is something they'll remember their entire lives. It may seem silly, but these are really life lessons that should be taught young. Kelly was a consummate professional, good with the kids, good with the adults, and really supportive. I feel very lucky to have had her class and am glad my children have had this experience.

Especially on the right end of the range. You have to crane your head close to the bench just to catch a peek at the target. On the pisyol side i have to bend my legs quite a bit to sight the tatgets, snd 25 yards is too far! They take a lot of money in everyday ( always busy) but dont put much back into keeping the place up. Happy the place is there, just wish they had a little motivation to make it s little nicer.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Debbie. She was so patient and empathetic throughout the whole session, and that made a huge difference. She has a way of just calming your anxieties and making everything feel manageable, even if you are starting from zero. The class itself is super straightforward and stays focused on the essentials. You learn how to handle a gun, the most important safety rules, and how to build up your confidence. It never felt like a stiff lecture. Instead, it felt like learning from a pro who genuinely wants you to be safe. I walked out feeling way more capable than when I walked in. If you want a supportive and low-stress environment to learn the ropes, definitely sign up!

They explained everything really well for everyone to understand (regardless of experience). Chris was very patient and encouraging during while at the range. He did a great job putting everyone at ease and correcting people in a way that was productive but no one felt embarrassed or stupid. That is a great skill for any instructor to have. He also stayed longer to let me shoot with couple of his guns that I was not familiar with. Thank you so much. Dennis was the one coordinating the schedule when I signed up. He was very responsive and very accommodating. For example, when I asked if I could go to an earlier class, he remembered and called me when they had a cancellation). I will 100% recommend this course, and will definitely take other courses with them.

You can tell he does this because he's passionate about it and doesn't bring ego into the equation. Whether you've been shooting for years or have never shot before, he treats everyone with the same respect and meets you where you're at. He makes the entire training completely unintimidating. Like any new experience, coming into the class we didn't know what to expect and were a little intimidated by all our "expectations", but within minutes all those fears were gone. Thank you Tim for such a wonderful experience. We will definetely be back for our renewal training and also plan on signing up for some one-on-one training, as well as having our kids take your class.
