I honestly cannot say enough good things about Debbie. She was so patient and empathetic throughout the whole session, and that made a huge difference. She has a way of just calming your anxieties and making everything feel manageable, even if you are starting from zero. The class itself is super straightforward and stays focused on the essentials. You learn how to handle a gun, the most important safety rules, and how to build up your confidence. It never felt like a stiff lecture. Instead, it felt like learning from a pro who genuinely wants you to be safe. I walked out feeling way more capable than when I walked in.
