I found their groupon deal, which was one of the most reasonable priced places in the area. Joe was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about what he does. They also offer add on services like passport sized photos and notarizing of your paperwork, at an extra (but nominal) fee. Additionally, they offer various other classes, like security training, CPR/first aid, self defense, etc. as well as 1:1 firearm instruction. Their classroom was a bit tight, as the class I attended had a large number of people in attendance. There wasn't enough space between the rows of tables and chairs to get up without everyone in the row needing to also stand up for the people sitting on the inside against the wall. A bit distracting, but that is my only (negative) feedback. Also, to note: the morning half of the instruction is in the classroom followed by a (lunch) break of one hour. Then, everyone is expected to meet up at the gun range (Delta Arsenal in Wallingford about 20 minutes away) for the hands-on portion of the class, where you get to shoot/practice with an instructor. I had assumed we would be shooting at the nearby gun range in Orange, but it wasn't a huge deal. Just might be helpful, so attendees can know what to expect before signing up. Most of the 2 hours in the range was spent waiting, as they do provide 1:1 time with Joe or one of his staff while shooting. You can shoot the basic hand gun or "buy up" to try a range of different sized guns for $20 extra. You get a signed certificate at the end of the class which you can submit to your city/town with your full pistol permit application and Joe makes himself available during that process, should you need help or advice.

I did notice this last time as someone else mentioned below, I was there an hour and the owner went to charge me for 1.5 hours. I told him I had only been there an hour and he changed the bill, but that is never a good sign. In any case, the website says Monroe Shooting Sports has tons of different classes to try so I figured I would try one. As I was leaving the range I spoke to the owner about what might be best and he suggested a 1x1 "mini class" the following Tuesday (a week later) and I said great. The website shows "mini" classes as $89 for 1.5 hours...fine. I email him (his preferred method of communication) to confirm and he says bring pistol, holster and 100 rounds of ammo and I will shoot for an hour. Odd it's 1 hour instead of 1.5 but okay....when I asked why he didn't respond. The day of, he sends an email, doesn't even have the decency to call, and says "Sorry I need to cancel today I am not taking on any new clients, but please consider a private lesson." Obviously a very disorganized place. After talking to the owner the first time to decide what to try, most of what is on the website isn't really offered...ie the mini classes, TIPS Tuesday, etc. In any case, crappy experience and he didn't care enough to follow up which surprises me as it's so important to put best foot forward out with shooters...new or experienced. Too many places to shoot for bd service and follow-up.
