I want to endorse Alex 100% with an A+ rating. I took his class, NRA Range Safety Officer this past…read moreweekend. WOW what an experience! I have so many thoughts to share on this Amazing day! ** LEARNING/MATERIALS - The NRA materials are fantastic. Even more fantastic is the teaching aids that Alex has in the classroom and how he uses gun safety props combined with technology (video/audio) to bring the lesson plans to life. ** FACILITIES - A+ top notch! The classroom was professional, state of the art technology, and organized like a university classroom. The fact that he limits his class to six students max, means that you get solid education and profound interaction with the instructor. ** INSTRUCTOR(s) - Alex is so knowledgeable, that I was listening literally to every word with anticipation. His teaching style is perfect. He is professional and firm in the lessons, but incredibly personable and entertaining throughout the course. And while the core material is the standard NRA course that anyone can go through, what makes Alex unique is that before, during, and after the lesson plan, he adds real life case studies, situations and interaction that makes the class engaging. His wife and son also assisted throughout the day which made it feel like a "team of coaches" was teaching me. In summary, it was a one-day class, yet I feel like I got a week's worth of instruction that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I can't thank Alex, his wife and son enough for the training I received that day. I am already planning on taking more of his courses in the coming year! I recommend that if you have the chance and can make the drive or trip to do his location in Central Florida, it is WORTH IT! Sincerely, Mike from S.Carolina [nickname "Mexican IronMan" on google]

I definitely had very little knowledge and understanding of any of the information that was covered in the class and it was very informative, professional and hands-on. The atmosphere is very friendly for such a serious course. I was very glad to have found this class and will be taking more classes. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. The price was also more than reasonable for all of the time , attention and information that I received.

A volunteer range keeper (No paid staff) immediately came to the pistol side of the range and asked who fired in rapid session and I told him that I did. He then told me there is a two second period between rounds fired. I told him the military taught me to fire in groups of two. bam,bam, bam, bam, and so on. Other than this silly rule this is a good place to practice and plus its free to shoot there. Note: Rifle range is two hundred yrds max.
