Starting shooting bullseyes halfway through first lesson! I couldn't be happier with the…read moreprofessional instruction, focus on safety fundamentals, and the immediate improvement in my shooting accuracy. I learned of Cobalt and Chris Murphy when I noticed some business cards for instruction while using the range at Clark Brothers in Warrenton. I scheduled a private lesson and was immediately impressed with the initial paperwork, instructions, scheduling process, and complete clarity from start to finish. It was after a disappointing day at the range that I decided to invest in professional instruction and I am so glad I did. It was an extraordinary value with not only immediate results, but also supplied with key drills I can practice to enjoy a lifetime of better shooting. Will definitely come back for additional training and continue honing my skills with them.

The instruction was comprehensive, tailored to the specific needs of each of the members of my…read moregroup (two left handed shooters, one with no experience, etc..) and the whole experience was comfortable and not intimidating. We couldn't have been happier with the skills we learned, the firearms we tried, and the experience on the range we received. Fantastic!

Jim Nida is an outstanding instructor hands-down. My wife, daughter and I attended his training,…read morewhich he adjusted to meet our busy schedules, and provided some the most professional yet personable training I've personally have ever participated in. His course is set within the NRA standards and he used his extensive law enforcement background to provide a very grounded approach to handgun orientation, safety, and firing. He dealt with three very different levels of experience within the same class and made it enjoyable and educational at the same time. He is patient and thoughtful with all his students and made both my wife and daughter feel totally at ease; no pressure, no games, no judgment. I would highly recommend him to anyone of any skill level seeking CCW accredited training or for more advanced skills; which we all agreed we will be calling him for soon. A great experience for all levels of proficiency; beginner to advance.

When I signed up for the First Steps class at Handgun Academy Va, I was a complete novice to…read morehandguns -- didn't know how to shoot, load, handle, or store a handgun. After just 2 hours in the classroom, I felt confident and prepared to head to the range with the instructor and try out what I had learned. Jim Nida is professional and clearly experienced at what he does, and makes an excellent instructor, especially for beginners. I received a certificate from attending his course that will allow me to apply for my Virginia concealed carry permit. I will be back to take more lessons from him on more specific skills (of my choosing, which is even better!). I will be recommending Handgun Academy Va to everyone I know, and anyone who is interesting in learning how to shoot. As a woman, it's important that I can feel protected, and thanks to Jim I feel like I can defend myself and handle weapons accurately and safely.

Rob was very helpful to myself & my family in our time of need. His service and diligence were…read moreamazing, and we felt very comfortable working with him. I would highly recommend any of Homeland Protection's services: the agency went above and beyond time and time again for a fraction of the cost that other companies would have charged.
