I am a corporate executive…read moreand pride myself in study and finding the best quality providers in business and personal life. I checked PDS and other companies who offered the training while also asking FFLs for their opinions and one that I trust gave me the recommendation of PDS. Not only was the training fantastic, detailed, and engaging as they only allow 4 students in a class. The best part of the course was getting to know Brandon and Stephanie Fisher, their wonderful people. I met many people in my professional discipline and feel I am a good judge of character, and I hold Brandon and Stephanie in exceedingly high regard. in my opinion you'll be happy with training from PDS and the Fisher family! Besides Brandon is a H&K Ambassador. Bob Walters

Outstanding CCW Class - Highly Recommended…read more I took my CCW class with Premier Self Defense Concepts, and my instructor, Doc, was excellent. He took the time to walk us through every section of the course, adding real-world lessons learned and practical safety tips that made everything click. Nothing felt rushed or glossed over. At the range, Doc worked with us to make sure we understood not just what to do, but just as importantly, what not to do. His approach made the entire experience comfortable, safe, and confidence‑building. This class is perfect for absolute beginners as well as people who already have some experience handling firearms. By the end, we received a certificate of completion--but what really stood out was the emphasis on safety, responsibility, and proper mindset. If you're looking for a solid CCW class taught by someone who genuinely cares about your understanding and safety, this is the one.

No discussion about incorrect answers. Details I didn't go to the range because -- without discussing my test answers with me -- Doc said he wanted to teach me and the friend I took the class with by ourselves. My friend had told me and him that watching videos only wasn't enough instruction for her. I thought I'd only need to go to the range because I was fairly certain I'd passed the written test. After I didn't hear from him for two days, I texted him and asked when we'd have the class (I meant at the range). He said he'd contact me later that day. When he didn't, I messaged him the next day -- three days after my class. He texted that he wanted to go over the classroom material with me for one-and-a-half to two hours. I asked if I'd passed the test. He replied "Are you okay?" I said I wanted to know if I passed the test and, if I did, I didn't want more class time. He called. He said I'd gotten four questions wrong. I asked if my score was passing. He said it was but that he wanted me to get more instruction because I'd end up killing someone because I "don't listen." Translation: "You have no right to ask me to do more than I've been getting away with doing, which is to not teach in the classroom; so shut up!" He should have reviewed all wrong answers after we took the test.That's what a teacher does. Reviewing tests is an integral part of instruction. Still on the phone, yelling, he called me "Entitled!" "He told me to "Shut up!" He said "None of the other people in the class liked you because you wouldn't shut up!" What I'd said during the class was that watching videos and reading with no teacher interaction wasn't what I'd paid for. I said it politely but I was clear. I didn't stutter If you just want range time without thorough classroom instruction, this class will be fine for you. Based on reviews, I've no doubt that Doc is an excellent teacher when it comes to handling and shooting a gun. But if learning what you're supposed to learn in the classroom is important to you, this isn't the class for you. Everything we did during the classroom portion could be done at home on your own -- reading and watching videos. This is exactly what we did while Doc did who knows what off screen. I learned more from my son than I did from Doc, including the first rule of gun safety, which we never discussed as a class (it was on a video but not in the material we read and Doc didn't mention it): Treat every gun like it's loaded. In addition, Doc gave us incomplete information about the last rule. He said it's: Always know where your target is and what's behind your target. However, there is third part to that rule: Always know what's between you and your target. On the phone, Doc threatened to report me to the state so that I will never get a CC license because I will "kill somebody" because I "don't listen." Since you can concealed carry in Ohio without a license, a good teacher, one who sincerely cares about public safety, would set his emotions aside and want me to learn as much as possible about how to handle a gun, not try to prevent me from learning because he is mad at me for talking back and wanting the classroom instruction I paid for and that the state requires for a license. My son said videos were used in the CC class he took as a SUPPLEMENT to instruction. His class consisted of verbal instruction from the teacher, discussion, questions and answers, and handling guns. Except for handling guns, which I assume took place at the range, that's is what Doc's class should have consisted of. That's what I paid for. My B.S. is in education. I know how good teachers teach, and for the $100 I paid, Doc was correct, I was "entitled'" to have him be one. Edit: Doc just texted me and told me he reported me to the Sheriff. He told me to "apologize." He called me "irrational" and "weird." He is completely unprofessional. I wanted to support a black business. That's why I went to him. But I'm now going to get my license where my son got his, Workman Firearms.

I'd like to update my previous review with one admittedly from a more experienced standpoint…read more Since my pervious review, I have returned a few times; and these few times have actually been very enjoyable, and the service has been much better. One thing to note, is their 2000 FPS limit is for rifles. The FPS limit for handguns is 1600 FPS. This will not pose any issues for many, however as someone who regularly shoots 454 Casull and 460 S&W, 1600 is pretty limiting. Summing up, service and experience has been all in all very satisfactory in the last month, and therefore I must update my review and credit The Marksman of Norton, Ohio with a well deserved extra star. It's definitely worth a go!

Explained everything we needed to do (and not do) thoroughly and with intent. Once we stepped into the range, Soni was there to guide us through the machinations of what was just explained to ensure that we were proceeding cautiously and safely. The firing experience was excellent. So much trepidation before pulling the trigger for the first time. But my wife and I both eased in, respected the equipment and environment and followed Soni's recommendations as far as grip, stance, etc. We both shot a .22 and a 9mm and even got to walk away with our cardboard target as a memory. The bonus add-on was that if you partake in the package, they offer a 25% discount off your bill at Suds McGuires (right across the street).
