I learned more shooting with Colton for 5 hours than I've learned in 20 years of shooting at boring, firing-lane-style gun ranges. If you have ever wanted to learn how to TRAIN to be the best, I think this is probably the best class you could ever take. If you just want to mag dump, go to Battlefield Vegas. Because this class will take you SO much deeper than just dumping mags and blasting away with no thought process. What you're getting when you train with someone as proficient and skilled as these guys is you're learning the mechanics of shooting. In fact, You'll learn a dozen things you probably never knew before firing a single round. I certainly did. And once you do start shooting, you will be amazed at how this instruction makes you a better shooter. I really can't speak highly enough about Colton and NOIR, it was such an awesome experience. The facility they shoot at is top notch and easy to find. Just go there already, why are you still reading this?! And Colton and Co., if you guys ARE reading this, thank you again for everything. read more

Spent a full day of training with Colton and it felt like I had skipped months and months of trial and error if I hadn't. I learned how to safely handle guns firstly, so I could have confidence rather than fear being my first time really shooting. This kind of one on one training probably saved me months if not years of training because I skipped developing bad habits from bad / wrong practices. Colton really knows his stuff and he is a gifted teacher / coach. With only one session my shooting and confidence with guns is through the roof. I went shooting shortly after my training with Colton and am still impressed. I can't imagine where things would go with more training! If you really want to learn the fundamentals of shooting and dangerous situations, I highly recommend Noir. read more

If you are serious about defensive shooting, Noir Training in my opinion is the top tier. Having trained at several different places over the years, none have even come close to the quality of training I received with Colton and Tim. After a class of live fire or force on force training, I have been amazed at how much I have learned, and the improvement in combat effectiveness is truly obvious, I have always left the classes knowing my skill sets are vastly improved as well as the confidence that I am far better prepared both mentally and tactically to handle a violent threat to myself or someone else. If you're expectations of training with Navy SEALs is high, as it should be, Tim and Colton will exceed those expectations. Best money I have ever spent on training! read more

I've taken 2 introductory courses with the first one being more of an orientation to what Noir Training offers and the second course being a practical introductory course. I did not know what to expect coming into these classes. This is the most AMAZING, realistic training that is held in a complete safe and non threatening environment. Tim and Colton are beyond incredible instructors. I learned so much tonight in 2 hrs then I could ever have imagined. I can't begin to describe what an awesome experiences I've had already and I haven't even started the more intense training yet. All I can say is that I am recommending them to everyone so just try one course and you'll be hooked. read more

Originally signed up for a 4-hour session, and I ended up staying the whole day. Colton is an excellent instructor, and his instructions are clear, concise, and articulate. Learned more from Colton in 8 hours than I did with all other firearms instructors combined. His real time feedback, positive and negative, is extremely helpful. He answers my favorite question, why! He not only tells you what to do but why. First time that I felt safe at a range. (My fellow officer shot herself in the hip while re-holstering.) Colton provided me with drills to practice at home to continue my training. I will no doubt be back for future training. Worth every penny! read more

Tim and Colton were guest-instructors at a SF-Bay Area hands-on course covering the ins and outs of home security as well as running though potential scenarios of home invasion and how to best respond to each situation. There were no political or religious overtones or undertones to their training, just professional presentation/instruction. Students were from varied backrounds with different levels of experience, however all were made comfortable with the instructional approach. I am looking forward to future classes with the duo either in CA or NV. Thanks for great job guys! read more

Went with my wife and son for the introductory class while we are visiting. Had a great time with two very knowledgeable and personable guys who really knew what they were talking about. With all of the garbage out there from so called experts it was great to see two real deal instructors who wee not simply repeating the same old mantras. No attitude and learned a lot in two hours and my plan is for the family to take a course or two whenever we visit Vegas to see my son, BTW Big Shout out to Captain Christopher Handy who found this school for us, we ar eso proud of you. read more

What fantastic training! In two days I learned more than all of the firearms classes I have taken, and I've taken plenty. The best thing I took away was that every time Colton showed me a way to do something, he explained it. Not showed me what to do, he did that, but then explained why you do it this way. It was so much different from a simple this-is-the-way-it's-done approach. I learned so much from that and I left a better, smarter, shooter. Noir Training was worth every penny and I hope to come back! read more

Spent all day training with Colton. The training is focused on real world. I specifically wanted to train on how to handle jams and what to do when things go wrong and Colton took care of that. I also wanted to work on moving and shooting, mag reloading as well. I recommend training with Colton if you don't mind spending the money. It's a private shooting experience so you can take your time and tailor it to your training needs. It's fun, informative, and you get to shoot alot! read more

I just took their home defense scenario course and i recommend them to anyone interested in taking their own personal training further. Shooting at stationary targets is good but being involved in situations where you confront actual threats in a controlled enviorment really shows your flaws and helps prepare you in case it ever happens. Nobody wants to be a victim. All i can say on top of this is i am glad i held off on taking a class elsewhere and did it with Tim & Colton. read more

I was in Las Vegas with a group of friends and we wanted to do something fun but also learn skills we could use. While I had some shooting experience, I had never had any form training. Colton and Tim were a wealth of knowledge. Several people had no shooting experience and we all learned a ton. Colton and Tim are also really cool guys and they shared stories from their Seal days. I couldn't recommend them more. I'll be back with my son in the near future read more

My husband and I recently attended a couple of safety training sessions and it was great. Tim and Colton were thorough, always had safety first and foremost in mind, and created real situations that any person might face. They provided us useful options for dealing with confrontation, and we played out scenarios to help exercise what we learned. It was incredibly informative as well as fun, and we both look forward to more training sessions. read more

I was fortunate enough to have been able to take a class with these men. The opportunity to train locally with real deal Navy Seals raises the caliber of training in the Las Vegas area to a new level. Not only are they a couple of America's elite warriors they are also great guys. They obviously enjoy what they do and are excellent instructors. Do yourself a favor and train with the best while having a lot of fun. You won't regret it . read more

I took the very first class these guys offered. All I can say us that they are the real deal, elite warriors, some of the best our country has ever produced. At the same time I was blown away by complete lack of snobism and elitist attitude I've seen before from other schools/instructors. They run a safe range, the class was fun and informative. If you are looking for training in Las Vegas area, Noir is a great option. read more

I have taken a number of classes from these guys. They are the best I have every seen as far as knowing what they are talking about and in thier teaching style. The new Force on Force courses are outstanding. Better than anything I have ever heard of. If you're serious about protecting yourself and your family, you need to take these classes. They complete your training for the real encounter. read more

I'm a civilian and have now taken several courses with Tim and Colton. Both are former navy seals but more importantly create a very safe and patient environment for a novice like myself. The course progresses at my level and by the end of the day I'm beat but would do it again and again. If you want a very deliberate learning on using firearms, this is your place read more

I recently took two NOIR Training classes at the Green Valley Shooting Range in Henderson, NV. Tim and Colton gave our class instructions and ran us through drills of potential emergency situations involving handguns and/or knives. This was not only valuable training, it was fun!! I will definitely take more classes in the future. read more

I had a amazing two day AR 15 training with Colton. The training was tailored to my needs, the information was clear and organized, and the techniqes were presented in an understandable and structured sequence. Definitely going back for a pistol class. Colton is highly-qualified and the training is highly recommended! read more

Where do I start with these guys, Quality instruction from quality individuals. The classes are well rounded and will make you a better shooter. Colton and Tim both strive to make sure you learn in their classes and I will be back for another as soon as I can!! You wont go wrong with Noir Training! read more
