Red Dot Training Academy of Lake Villa, IL. I would give them 10 stars if I could! ofay was the…read morefirst part of the two day Conceal Carry Class. I was very excited pressed with the detail of the lesson and how the instructor, Steven, was able to convey all of the information necessary in such a clear and kind way. He is a wealth of knowledge and made everyone feel comfortable. He loves what he does and he is very good at it. We were able to either rent a gun or bring your own for this course. It is very reasonable in price as well as the cost of ammunition. Our range time was ample and again, carefully, slowly and without pressure taught to all participants. There was no rush on guided target practice. There were five Range officers within arms distance offering advice and of course vigilant on safety. No one was uncomfortable. Michael was in instrumental on improving our gun-hand position, stance. His expertise really improved my feel and my results! Thank you Red Dot Training Academy! I cannot wait for the second class!

Their range is superb... clean and live booth video of your target. Makes dialing in, long range, for those of us with terrible eyesight, really convenient.

I didn't have time to go through their entire storefront but it's also quite impressive with, what looks to be, everything for the beginner to advanced. I'm going back this weekend just to browse, learn more about their training services and chat with their experienced staff!

Great selection of "whatever items" you need from their shop in the back, and a gunsmith who has about a week turnaround for your special gun specific needs. I have been ordering my items online and having them shipped to Red Dot for a number of times, and each time they have been all very court and friendly. Paperwork is filled out, and approval comes back, and since I ordered it online, and purchased it then, by the time it ships (takes about three days if not more to send via UPS) I don't have to wait an additional 3 days. I pick it up that day and leave with it. Highly Recommend this shop.
