I emailed Rich ( our teacher) prior to class I signed up for. He went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure I felt comfortable. Even helping to arrange ways for me to at least become familiar with a weapon prior to class. I was very grateful. He made the class interesting and relevant to the needs of the class. I took the Conceal and Carry class The only reason I didnt give 5 stars, was because of the meeting location. Which for my class was in a bowling alley that was loud and distracting but you did have access to snacks. And Im not sure if its normal but we had to drive to a separate location for the shooting portion of the class. I would highly recommend this class!

For a total of 12 hours, it seemed like no time at all because the instructors made it so enjoyable. The classes were excellent. These guys have many years of experience between them all, and it shows. In the classroom, they allowed us to take time and ask questions. Ultimately, there weren't many questions because they were so thorough. They put a premium on safety. Especially on the range, where they had about 7 or 8 range officers there to assist and to ensure that everyone was safe. Overall, this was an excellent experience and I would recommend FTA to anyone looking to get their Concealed Carry instruction here in North Carolina.

FTA is a great place for firearms training. I learned so much in the classroom portion! When I've…read morecompared notes with the classes my friends have attended it's obvious they got shortchanged. The instructors engaged the class and the time flew by even when presenting the dryest of material. They emphasize safety, make sure you know how the laws apply to you, and teach you with real-world examples. The range time was handled safety first and everyone had appropriate instruction to ensure they were comfortable with their weapon. There were a couple of people who had problems with their weapons and the instructors were helpful and patient with them. FTA really cares about their students! Not only do you get fantastic instruction when you sign up, they care about you longterm too. If you want a refresher, the law changes, or you'd like more range time you are welcome to return free of charge. Don't get taken in by the cheap online courses. You won't learn what you need to know or be prepared to defend yourself.

My insides would totally freeze up, and I would seriously start sweating. I can't say enough about AC and how comfortable he made me feel. His experience and expertise are outstanding. He was patient and did not move forward until I was comfortable moving forward. Once I got a firearm in my hand, I was amazed at how comfortable I was once he had taken me through the process. We headed to the range, and I thought to myself there is absolutely no way I could have walked through that door if AC hadn't taught me in the manner that he did. We went over a few safety procedures and headed on in. It was an experience that I never would have thought I would experience. When AC says "I Got You" He's Got You 100%. I HIGHLY recommend AC at New Day arms training. He is the best! Give NuDay Arms Training a call. You won't regret it!

It's a smaller shop with a friendly, personal atmosphere, and nobody pressured me while I looked around. They had more on the walls than I expected, too: everything from affordable guns around $350 to some seriously nice high-end options. I'd visited a few shops around Raleigh, and this was the first one where I liked both the selection and the people enough to buy. Kurht was there, and you could tell he cared about the customers. While I was looking around, I watched someone buy his first gun. Kurht took the time with him, and it was cool to be there for that moment. We all remember our first one. Then I spotted a Geissele Super Duty in exactly the color and setup I wanted, so I ended up taking it home. I also bought a scope, which he mounted and zeroed at 200 yards for me. The whole experience of an out of state sale was fast, easy and enjoyable. I'd recommend Tar River Arms wholeheartedly. If I lived nearby, I'd be a regular. Even from Florida, I'd be happy to order through them and have a gun shipped to my local FFL. Thanks, Kurht, for a great experience.
