We enjoyed every minute of the 8-hour class, which taught us gun safety and handling, weapon-free self-defense and the importantacne of mindset and situational awareness. The best part was the self-confidence boost my daughter felt by instilling the idea that she has a say in her own safety. Thanks to Judi, Katie and everyone at On Guard, my daughter can't wait to learn more about self-defense, and I couldn't be happier!

As others have mentioned,…read morethere are a lot of sales pitches for upsells in the class, but this is a family-run business and they have 3 kids to feed, so this is understandable. I got a ton of useful information from the lawyer that presented the law side of things. Both Kevin's and Alisha's presentations were engaging, so they made the 6 hour classroom time pass by quickly. The range instructors were extremely helpful and attentive. I brought my own pistol, so I was part of the "intermediate" shooting group during the 2 hour range session. They had us drill an exercise that was just slightly higher paced than the beginner (safety and basic shooting skills) part of the class. I also got some helpful tips to help me improve my shooting. All in all, great experience. I highly recommend this business.

The things I have learned from these guys are absolutely priceless! The trainers have REAL WORLD experience folks, they know how to train you the right way so that if something bad were to happen you know how to react. SOME of the things I have learned so far is, correctly drawing from a holster, quickly and effectively finding my site picture, shooting while under pressure, shooting from multiple positions, shooting from behind cover, quickly and effectively clearing a jams, shooting in both low light and no light situations, plus the added benefit of doing most of this with your off hand! You never know the situations that you will end up in, so do yourself a favor and stop thinking that just having your CCW is enough, its really not. Spend the money, learn from the best, and protect both yourself and your loved ones when the worst happens.
