This was the best instructions we have ever had in Firearms Training! As we all know, Nevada is a…read morefirearms friendly state, and since we moved here from California so many years ago, we did not know anything about firearms. As our family started to grow, we started to take lessons for us and our children so that we could understand how to be safe around firearms, the law and how to respect them. We knew that our kids as they grew up, would be exposed to many that had firearms at home and so we embarked on a journey to learn about gun awareness, gun safety. Fast forward, we needed to really amp up our learnings and to obtain our CCW as well. We had our CCW before, but we allowed it to expire during Covid and it had been to long past the grace period so we needed to take another full course. This time, I was not looking for a classroom setting, set on a specific day with a lot of people. I was looking for small group setting and found out about Tim Stephens and Stephens Firearms training. This was the best choice we could have made. 1. Tim is a strong communicator and very timely as well. He will guide you with all you need to be prepared and ready. The process to obtain a CCW is administratively daunting and Tim guides you through the process with ease, helping us to prepare all our applications well in advance. 2. In terms of class size, Tim customized the class size just for us and we started at 2 of us and ended up with a total of 5 attendees. 3. Dates were negotiated based on everyone's availability which is awesome, as most of the other CCW classes I looked at were set on specific dates and so having customized dates based on our needs was perfect. 4. We were also asked a lot of questions that we had about firearms, what information we were looking for and what we thought we needed to know. It was really great that Tim could incorporate many of these things into the CCW mandated curriculum. On my own, I have "made things up" or developed some inconsistent habits and Tim's focus was all about reality, facts, the law, best practices and consistent / repetitive processes. This was so helpful and a game changer for us. 5. Other trainings I have had in past are more classroom like for the CCW or it is at the range but a bit daunting and too quick. Tim's training is a lot more engaging and personalized, so when we did not understand something or needed something to be repeated, it was great to be able to engage at this level to get a much deeper understanding and value from the course. 6. The actual shooting test was also beyond our expectations as not only did we all qualify, but we also learned additional practical hints. 7. After qualifying, Tim spent additional time with us to give us live hints on how we could go beyond qualifying and actually improve our accuracy as well! The entire process with Tim, from the communication, the learning, the process, the qualifying and then the extra coaching was beyond our expectations and exactly what we were looking for in an instructor and coach. We look forward to more learnings in the future with Tim and we highly recommend him for your CCW training, or any other training.

All of the instructors I previously had at these classes were great and very qualified). The Green Valley Range instructor I had (his first name was Lou), immediately came across as incredibly arrogant and condescending. First, instead of starting the class with a brief couple of minutes intro about himself (which all my previous instructors had done), he practically spent the whole day talking about himself...he just went on and on, about how knowledgeable and great he was...this guy is way too much in love with himself. The other problem was, that about mid way through the class, Green Valley Range sent a sales person in to try and sell CCW liability insurance. Green Valley Range obviously were taking advantage of a captive audience, in a state required CCW class, to sell their other products. This is at the very least unethical, and may be illegal (and if it's not illegal, it should be). The bottom line is, I did not like the attitude or business practices of Green Valley Range, so I would not go back to them for classes, or anything else.

This is such a great place to visit if you are with a group of friends. You can be experienced or…read moreinexperienced, either way, it is still fun. My friends and I visited this place, and we purchased the Gun Battle Package. In the beginning, you experience two simulations to get you used to what you are shooting. Then when you enter the maze that you will be maneuvering around in, they place a belt over you that emits an electric shock on your lower abdomen. You can choose the level of shock that you want to feel, the higher the level, the more you will feel it (shock level ranges 1-5). Each time that you are shot, you will feel the shock; therefore, there is no space in between. Whereas laser-tag takes time to reset itself before you can shoot or feel again. The game continues and you continuously feel a shock each time you are hit & you will still be able to shoot with no relapse. You fire real guns, and the bullets are blanks, but still have the powder in them (this is why you still wear the goggles) from my understanding. It's also a fun way to put your skills to the test if you are a regular shooter because you are not shooting at targets or metal plates. You are required to move around, use the skills that you learned, and shoot at a target that shoots back. You feel your adrenaline rushing through your body. You are even allowed to purchase a recording of your experience, which is worth it to look back at for memories. Such an amazing time, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys firearms, laser tag and/or just wants to have the experience! Trust me, you won't forget it.

I had very limited amount of time on a gun before my first training day with PFC. I mean, I went to…read morea range a handful of times over the timespan of 11 years. I've done the CCW class, a fundamentals class a few times, and the Progressive Handgun 2-5 courses within maybe four months, and though I'm still new to it, I find myself being able to hold my own with a pistol among people that have had many years experience than me. That's not to say that I've been doing better or just as well, but for what I lack in experience, I'm gaining ground at a pretty rapid pace underneath these instructors. If your idea of range time is just standing in front of a target and plinking away, most of PFC's training is not for you. The introductory and CCW classes are a good gateway to the rest of the classes. There are classes that drill different exercises that include fighting positions, using barricades, movement under fire, low light, and handgun retention during engagements. If you come to these courses with an ego, it will be extra challenging because these courses and instructors are ever evolving, and you might be forced to challenge what you thought you already knew.
