    David is a very experienced trainer. Great classroom presentations. Answers everyone's questions…read more Jay R.

    My first time going through my CCW journey and while looking for a firearms trainer I came across…read more831Shooter from the MCSO approved list. Fast forward, I managed to get into his two classes, classroom and the qualifications class (range)for my CCW. Classroom was very informative and definitely learned a lot. I like the way he teaches because he goes in depth on what it is to be a CCW holder and the responsibility one bears while carrying. Now the fun part, Range. I honestly thought I was just going to shoot and qualify with my firearms and call it a day... boy was I wrong. As the training went on throughout the day I thought I was traing for special forces or something. We did various firearm drills ect; one handed shooting, stove pipe drills, click no bang, shooting behind barrels, we were on the ground, shooting while on our knees, we did some walking while shooting too. I can go on, class was very fun and highly recommend attending. The Battle Rattle at the end was my favorite you basically rapid fire 2 mags on steel. The passion and dedication this man has for the 2A Community is incredible, you will definitely be surprised at all the knowledge you will get if you attend his classes. I can't forget about the staff , very friendly, helpful they give you feedback on your shooting, tips, they will definitely point out your flaws but don't take it personal its just to make you a better shooter. SAFETY is nothing to play with here so if you make a mistake you will be hearing it from the staff. Overall 5 star rating, highly recommend and would be back for renewal once that time comes in the future.

    I am not rating Dave Matthews. He appears to be a good trainer and owner based on the other…read morereviews. I am rating one of the other trainers who I randomly got for my ccw course. The good: He provided good information, was knowledgeable, and got the training done. The bad: No way would I use him again. I'm all for safety, but he was constantly threatening the class to throw us out for a mild infraction of safety protocols. Not all protocols are the same level. Yes, I would agree with him if someone pointed a l.g. at someone due to negligence. But he was maniacal with well intentioned people. Another insanity after every firing drill, looking over both shoulders. Someone is going to get a neck kink this way. It's fine to teach it, but after every firing round, this is just dumb. He just used threats to drive behavior which drove us crazy. Update: 2 star to 5 star...spoke with Dave the owner. He graciously called me to find out what happened, a sign of someone who cares. I think this particular instructor cares too and maybe was just new and a little rigid, which isn't always a bad thing when it comes to safety. I will definitely after this interaction consider FTI for my future training needs.

    I recently needed to get my NRA Rifle Instructor certification. After looking around, a few people…read morerecommend Dave at Firearm Training Institute. I ended up signing up for two weekend sessions (Basic Instructor Training and a few weeks after that, Rifle Instructor). I have to say, Dave is an amazing instructor, he was well prepared, really knew the material, and overall did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend Firearm Training Institute to anyone (whether you are new to firearms to a seasoned pro).

    Since my last review, I've brought several people over that have bought their bows there. All…read morewalked out with a top-tier experience (and bow). A few notes after reading the reviews. 1) Jim is really the peak of bowmen....an archer's archer. I've gone hunting with others that have previously hunted with Jim. They told me that Jim took an Alaskan bear at 105 yards with a single arrow. When I confronted him with this, he said, "naw, it was only 100 yards"...... 2) He's been the paid factory rep - the face of the factory - for at least one bow manufacturer. Not an honor lightly achieved. 3) His whole family shoots at the expert level. Some will be there for training events. 4) Jim as a million stories and will give selflessly in showing you, your friends, your class, your league how to shoot. However, he does not suffer fools lightly and if you come in with the "customer's always right" or some other attitude, he will feel no need to help you any longer. Conversely, he is great with kids and clumsies. If you've ever noodled the idea of trying out a bow (I hate using long bows, but compound bows are great fun without pulling yourself apart), I highly recommend that you go visit and ask to try out a rental bow for an hour. Very inexpensive. If you don't get hooked, there's always chess or scrap-booking...... Jim - it was a privilege to shoot my first real bow there. My daughter is your biggest fan. I'll be back soon.

    I rarely leave reviews, but I had to make an exception after the experience Jim gave us at the…read moreshop. I walked in with very little knowledge and walked out not only with everything I needed to get started with a longbow, but also with a wealth of insight and guidance. Jim took an incredibly generous amount of his time to make sure both my partner and I were set up for success, answering every question and making the whole process feel approachable and exciting. He didn't try to oversell anything at all one of the most up front and honest blokes I've come across. It's honestly the first time I've been to a shop that shows this level of care and attention to newcomers, it was an absolutely brilliant experience. Because of Jim, his mate Travis, and everyone else we met there, this is quickly becoming a serious hobby for us. If you've even thought about trying archery, do yourself a favor and stop by, Jim will have you feeling confident and eager to start shooting in no time. No amount of online bow shopping or research will compare to chatting to Jim about what you need! Huge thanks to everyone at the shop, you're all fantastic. Looking forward to those longbow shooting events! Can't thank you all enough!
