We would definitely recommend his course and plan on signing up for some additional courses with him.

I took the Defensive Pistol training course with Mike and Dave yesterday afternoon. It was a…read morefantastic course and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone that plans to carry a concealed firearm. Perhaps you are new to carrying a concealed firearm. We were all there at one point. But if you are ever presented with a potentially harmful situation, do you know how to train your mind and body to assess and react? You may think you will have time to rack a slide and/or release a safety mechanism, but most life threatening situations happen very quickly. The foundation for this course is safe and repetitive gun handling skills followed by hands on range time. Don't get me wrong, you'll still need to keep up with training and practicing but this course definitely teaches you the responsibility and implications of carrying a firearm as well as the confidence to do so safely. I should also mention that the outdoor range facility is absolutely amazing. Finally, I cannot say enough about the instructors. Mike and Dave's resumes and experience speak for themselves. They are great teachers as well as great people - all while keeping it fun. I cannot thank you enough and I look forward to seeing what you put together for the follow-up course!

To me, Professor Hollis' is the best home inspection instructor that I have known in my entire life. His passion for teaching made me eager to learn. To him, time does not go by when he talks about this subject. I would like to be like him. If you are looking for a place to learn, this is the place to be. I would retake these classes a hundred times. What he teaches is priceless. I feel proud to be his student, because now I can say that I learned from the best. Erick Osinaga.

It was presented well and the time went by quickly. The shooting range was fun. My instructor Bobbie was great. After learning how to handle, load the magazine, and operate the firearm I felt more confident than I thought I would. The instructor also let me try another firearm and gave me ammo so I could see which one I liked best. My sister took a course in Maryland and it wasn't nearly as good as this one and she didn't get a book, and it cost her the same amount of money. If you take this course you will definitely get your monies worth. I will go back to Live Fire Instruction and take other training courses.

Our son had…read moretried another place much closer to us where the coach yelled at him and demeaned him for not knowing what to do... during his first time in a trial class. It's taken us three years to get back in the saddle, but still my now 8-year-old was trembling with nervousness and fear that it'd be a repeat experience. Master Simone put him at ease instantly. She spoke clearly and kindly to him and at all steps in the class, made sure he was following along and was getting coaching. He ran up to me 15 minutes in and declared, "I want to keep doing this!" We don't live super close, so it will be tricky for make it work for our schedule regularly, but we'll certainly think about. If you are lucky enough to live in Woodbridge, I highly recommend your kiddos try this out! They also offer classes for teens, adults, self-defense, etc. It's a warm, welcome, family-run gym. Thank you so much, Master Simone!

I recently completed three Green Ops pistol courses: Advanced Application of Pistol Fundamentals,…read moreDefensive Pistol 1, and Defensive Pistol 2, and they were outstanding. The instructors deliver exceptional training at a very fair value. Every instructor I worked with was extremely competent and clearly brought deep experience from law enforcement, military shooting, and competition backgrounds. Across the three courses I had a mix of returning and new instructors, which meant I benefited from multiple perspectives, different teaching styles, and constant constructive feedback throughout the training. One thing that really stood out was the student-to-instructor ratio, which never exceeded roughly 5-6 students per instructor. That meant everyone received real coaching and corrections instead of just standing on the line burning ammo. The learning environment was excellent. There were no egos among the instructors or students, which is honestly rare in the firearms training world. The instructors were down to earth, approachable, and connected well with the class, which made the training both productive and genuinely enjoyable. Spending full days on the range can be a grind, but these guys made it fun. They also did a great job of accommodating different skill levels without slowing the class down or rushing anyone. The training simply flowed in a way that kept everyone progressing. The facilities were more than adequate for the course material and allowed the instructors to run drills safely and effectively. I've spent 27 years in the military and now work in executive protection, and I've trained with a lot of different instructors and organizations over the years. Green Ops is absolutely among the best. If you're serious about improving your pistol skills, these classes are worth traveling for.

It was very 'hands on' which was great for this beginner since I knew next to nothing about guns. The classroom prep was vital before actually getting on the range and shooting real ammo.

You'll be shooting outdoors for 6hrs straight with minimal breaks, so be sure to fuel up appropriately with a BYO lunch and snacks as needed. In summary: if you're looking to take your shooting skills to the next level, I highly recommend these guys - I had an excellent time and will definitely be back!

So found Loudoun Tactical through Facebook Ads in 2021 and was always interested in taking a class,…read morebut felt insecure as I never had any real training other than friends giving me tips and advice. My wife surprised me with a Red Dot pistol course as an early Christmas Present in November of 2021. Now, I looked them up, saw a sketch Reddit thread, but it was already paid for and gave them a shot. I approached the class as the newest shooter and definitely insecure about my ability. Every one looked experienced and based on early conversations, the other classmates had taken classes before with them. Our instructors was Andy, the founder and one of his principal instructors, Scott. They were intimidating but friendly. Started off with a classroom session learning about Red Dot optics on pistols and it was very informative. As we moved into the actual shooting portion, I was full of nerves and insecurity. Judging on the first drill, I was out of my league in terms of skill compared to the other students. But to my surprise, Scott and Andy were really encouraging and supportive. My insecurities began to fade away and I started to feel more confident in my ability. Lots of positive feedback and encouragement throughout the day. From when I started to when I ended the day, my shooting was night and day difference. Lots of positive feedback and criticism to help me improve. At the end of the day, I had such a blast and great time. So great that I signed up for a rifle 1 course and last weekend, the rifle and pistol 1 course. I have learned so much, had fun, and become a better shooter. Andy and his Cadre have been nothing but supportive, fun and informative. Im already planning to take more courses and improve my shooting more. They really make it fun and engaging and ensure you learn. They're extremely patient with students trying to learn and boost your ego with a lot of positive reinforcement. I have absolutely no regrets about any of my three experiences and have planned more courses in the future. If you're on the fence, do it. If you read the reddit review, ignore it! You will not be disappointed with your experience from beginning to end.
