You'll be shooting outdoors for 6hrs straight with minimal breaks, so be sure to fuel up appropriately with a BYO lunch and snacks as needed. In summary: if you're looking to take your shooting skills to the next level, I highly recommend these guys - I had an excellent time and will definitely be back!

So found Loudoun Tactical through Facebook Ads in 2021 and was always interested in taking a class,…read morebut felt insecure as I never had any real training other than friends giving me tips and advice. My wife surprised me with a Red Dot pistol course as an early Christmas Present in November of 2021. Now, I looked them up, saw a sketch Reddit thread, but it was already paid for and gave them a shot. I approached the class as the newest shooter and definitely insecure about my ability. Every one looked experienced and based on early conversations, the other classmates had taken classes before with them. Our instructors was Andy, the founder and one of his principal instructors, Scott. They were intimidating but friendly. Started off with a classroom session learning about Red Dot optics on pistols and it was very informative. As we moved into the actual shooting portion, I was full of nerves and insecurity. Judging on the first drill, I was out of my league in terms of skill compared to the other students. But to my surprise, Scott and Andy were really encouraging and supportive. My insecurities began to fade away and I started to feel more confident in my ability. Lots of positive feedback and encouragement throughout the day. From when I started to when I ended the day, my shooting was night and day difference. Lots of positive feedback and criticism to help me improve. At the end of the day, I had such a blast and great time. So great that I signed up for a rifle 1 course and last weekend, the rifle and pistol 1 course. I have learned so much, had fun, and become a better shooter. Andy and his Cadre have been nothing but supportive, fun and informative. Im already planning to take more courses and improve my shooting more. They really make it fun and engaging and ensure you learn. They're extremely patient with students trying to learn and boost your ego with a lot of positive reinforcement. I have absolutely no regrets about any of my three experiences and have planned more courses in the future. If you're on the fence, do it. If you read the reddit review, ignore it! You will not be disappointed with your experience from beginning to end.

It was presented well and the time went by quickly. The shooting range was fun. My instructor Bobbie was great. After learning how to handle, load the magazine, and operate the firearm I felt more confident than I thought I would. The instructor also let me try another firearm and gave me ammo so I could see which one I liked best. My sister took a course in Maryland and it wasn't nearly as good as this one and she didn't get a book, and it cost her the same amount of money. If you take this course you will definitely get your monies worth. I will go back to Live Fire Instruction and take other training courses.

My comments apply to both. Mark Briley (Capital Defense Instruction LLC) and George Lyon (DC Learn to Shoot) did an outstanding job with their tag-team style of instruction. From the beginning, the Capital Defense website for course registration was easy to navigate, and the various classes are offered regularly, making the entire sign-up process a breeze. The classroom instruction was excellent, with both instructors able to offer insights and tips based on their vast personal knowledge and experience. Both were able to deliver a common sense approach to self-defense, going beyond just the required curricula and legal aspects and explain in plain language how to think about various self-defense scenarios. The live-fire range test was equally satisfying, with a flexible scheduling process and Mark providing helpful insights, tips, and encouragement during the actual live fire. I plan to return for my required renewal training in the future.
