I came in expecting to be bored sitting on my phone the entire course but this was not the case. Adam is a great instructor, very informative, detailed and fun. The class was very immersive. Great class for beginner, he goes through all details of scenarios when to and when not to exercise your right to defend yourself with deadly force. He will answer all questions and no judgements are made if you are a complete beginner to firearms. you will qualify on your shooting accuracy during the first day, the range is not far from the class at all. You will qualify at the end of the first day class, everyone will pass with the information taught. I have taken a 16 course 5 years ago and all they showed was boring NRA videos and not much information on when to and when to not use your firearm. Adam spoke the entire course with power slide, it was not boring and you will learn life saving information and also information to prevent putting yourself into trouble with the law. You will Learn basic firearm function, grip, fundamental, maintenance, amongst many other important factors of carrying a firearm. You will Learn the law and updated current laws with conceal carry in IL and where you can carry outside of IL. it was very affordable and worth every penny Spent. Thanks Adam.

At first I was apprehensive about going to this class because I didn't want to sit through 16 hours…read moreof class room, I already have over 30 years of law enforcement experience , retired in May 2023 even though I have IRROCC however it's only good for 1 year on the other hand conceal carry is good for 5 years and I frankly thought our yearly going to our gun range to qualify to carry was enough however I quickly found out that the academy taught us officers nothing compared to Blackhawk Tactical class.. I learned so much from Adam the instructor that I encourage everyone to take this 16 hours class. You think you know everything about guns wait until you take this 16 hours class and find out you don't know s.,..t . Adam is true to form really charismatic,smart and really smart at this,he is courteous, respectful and very helpful especially at the gun range he took everyone individually at the gun range to make sure we passed the shooting range. Adam is very knowledgeable about all kinds of guns you can think of,he can break any gun down and tell you the different parts of the gun, he's funny, encourage everyone to participate in the class,I carry a Glock 43 I found out really quick that not only I didn't know the parts but I have been been cleaning it the wrong way which Adam explained it all. By the second day I was looking forward to the class and see wished there was a 3rd day the little $79 we paid was worth every penny. I will most certainly recommend Blackhawk Tactical,I am including the awesome positive vibes of the class.

In two days we covered responsible firearm use, home defense planning, conflict avoidance, situational awareness, and more. Gary will not let you leave his class without knowing how to properly handle a firearm. You'll gain a thorough understanding of Illinois firearm laws and confidence to continue to improve your skills at the range. Before heading to the range for the shooting portion of the class, Gary and Joe will help each student practice proper shooting stance and correct any issues with sight picture. You will be responsible for range fee, ammunition, and fingerprints in addition to course fee.

The place looks like your standard beauty school, clean and without flair. I was thouroughly amused by a sign near the radio: "Do not change the radio station! Do not talk or sing over the music on the radio. Only these two stations allowed 107.5 & 102.7" I almost took a pic to submit it to the Passive Aggressive Notes website. Anyway, it definitely beats paying $75 bucks in downtown and South Loop for the same results. I'll be back.
