We all know things do not always go the way they are supposed to and that is just how life is. What is most important is when there is an issue that the issue is acknowledged and resolved quickly. Arizona Defensive Firearms Training is a company that does just that. If you are looking to get the requisite training certficiation for a CCW permit which is what I was in need of, then I encourage you to go to Arizona Defensive Firearms Training. The ownership is top notch, strives to provide a quality product (service) and has years of experience with firearms, therefore is well set up to provide you the certification you are seeking. I highly recommend Arizona Defensive Firearms Training.

My brother previously had attended this course and highly recommended Arizona Home Defense and Virgil. I called and spoke with the instructor, Virgil, who was able to get hubs and I booked into class the very next evening. yay! We showed up and Virgil had everyone's paperwork set up, so we could start filling everything out for the background check and fingerprints before class, which was awesome so we wouldn't have to sit there after the course to get everything done. The course itself was great -- short, sweet, to the point. Virgil gave us the information quickly and thoroughly covered required materials. He has a lot of experience/knowledge in guns overall and has a great sense of humor, however, if you offend easily, wear earmuffs or quietly bleep all the f-bombs in your head while he talks. I, personally, thought he was hilarious and the f-bombs didn't bother me (military guys use it 17 times in a sentence with 25 words, haha). After the course we got our fingerprints taken and were on our way, completed paperwork in hand (YOU have to mail the paperwork in for the CCW card but all instructions are included with your packet). I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to take a CCW class... you'll thank me later that you didn't spend an excruciating whole day training on material that Virgil can deliver to you in one evening.

I was in the Scouts, shot a few rounds with my brother before, and my father owned a gun. However, that being said, I imagine that even those with extensive experience will end up taking away something valuable from these two brilliant instructors, making the price for this course well worth what you pay. For additional context, I purchased a discounted voucher via Groupon, but I was so happy with the experience that I am looking for additional courses by these instructors and would be happy to pay the full list price (which is already competitive with other course prices) This course was about so much more than just gun safety, the laws, and how to concealed carry. While we did get into proper gun handling safety and techniques, the overarching theme was the Mental aspect. At first I thought the name Mental Marksmanship was targeted for people "Crazy" about guns. This assumption, was far from the case. What I found was that the instructors were raising really thought provoking questions. I went home really thinking about the impacts of carrying a gun. They really hit home on not just the legal ramifications of owning a gun, but several other areas which I will leave for them to share with you. Additionally, the primary instructor is incredibly qualified to be teaching- I can't remember all the details, but I do remember he served in high up leadership roles for law enforcement for many many years. He's seen it all, and I immediately felt comfortable and respected what he had to share. His assistant was also wonderful, qualified, and really emphasized the "Mental" aspect of this course. The two really complimented each other. Lastly, I had no expectations of this course, content wise. It was close by and had great reviews for a great prices. I was just looking to get a CCW, but ended up taking home so much more. Attending with an open mind will grant you an incredible experience.

I was looking to buy either a 365 or a hellcat and could not find either in almost any gunstore in the great phoenix area. Not only did Jonathan at refiners have both, he had several models of both to choose from. Jonathan, a firearms instructor, spent the better part of an hour with me helping me decide which gun would fit me best without being pushy or assertive. I learned a few things buying this gun from him and had a good time doing it, and intend on coming back for his firearms training classes in the future.

He had mentioned at that time he did training as well, and after looking into both group lessons and individual training, I decided that for something so important, an individual one-on-one training was going to be best. I can say with certainly the extra cost and time training with Jon was totally worth it. He took care of the reservations at a private range, and started from scratch to intro me to handgun shooting. I left feeling significantly more confident, knowing i wasn't going to pick up bad habits, and was able to put down nice groups downrange by the end of the training. The training was so good in fact, that I plan to take another training for rifle marksmanship.

He said he was nervous when he first showed up, not knowing what to expect . After meeting the other attendees (Both had already taken this class with Oz,but wanted to refresh their skills) he said he felt at ease. Oz, the instructor, was great. He offered my husband some items that he didn't have in case he needed them. After zeroing the firearms, they practiced malfunctions and did some simple drills. Oz is a great communicator and led the class at the perfect pace to absorb the material. His take away from the experience is now he feels he has the tools to practice and become more efficient at handling my rifle. He highly recommends taking a class from Oz. When we are back in the winter, he will definitely be taking more courses from him! Karin was awesome as well! Thank you Oz and Karin! Joel was super happy when he got home and told me all about it!
