I want to thank Mr. Wayne Lanier for a great training class. He made it fun and so patient with each of us. We received tons of information.I walked away feeling more confident in my ability with a hand gun. Even though I had been shooting before. I was still always unsure of myself in handling a gun but I feel safe and confident after this class. I highly recommend this training to anyone that is a beginner or wants to polish there skill. Thank you Mr. Wayne for a wonderful day.

I was very impressed with this class. I went with a group of ladies from Life Church in Baldwin. I never even touched a gun before and now I'm ready for the next step! Wayne is an excellent instructor & patient man. The facility was very nice & well equipped. The whole experience was top notch from beginning to end.

I want to brag on Mr. Wayne Lanier for a moment. What a joy his class was. This man knows what he's talking about and even though one of my classmates didn't make it because of illness and the other we just never heard from....So I got Mr Lanier all to myself. The reasons I signed up for this class were of course...I am scared of my gun. I already had my CWP but had never shot my gun. I wanted to get familiar with it. Mr. Lanier taught me so much through fundamentals of drawing, stance, grip, follow through....I didn't get that in my CWP class. He has so much knowledge...was very professional and he took the time to show me that I don't need to be afraid of my gun if I learn the fundamentals of shooting. And oh yes, SAFETY!! With each of my practice targets I got better by what I applied from learning. Mr. Lanier even let me video him going through each position of a draw, up to the shot and holstering my gun again...that way I can take it home and practice "dry shooting" in the comfort of my home or bedroom until it becomes neuropathically embedded...so if or when anything does happen...I don't have to try and remember...it's just automatic!! I pray it never does, but that's another reason to go and take his class. I am so glad I signed up...did I mention I drove 3.5 hours to take his class? I did, and I'd do it again. One more thing, I found out this year I have cataracts on my right eye...he taught me how to use the good one.

Wayne is a great instructor! His knowledge and professional experience brings an added element of practical application to his teaching method. He is very plain speaking, patient, and professional. He knows how to break down things for those that don’t have a background with tactical shooting scenarios so that they can be easily understood and absorbed. I highly recommend Wayne as a good resource to assess and develop your firearms related skills.LTC Bruce Brown/U.S. Army

The class I took offered by Wayne Lanier this week was fantastic. I am not new to firearms, but I got so many answers to questions I've harbored for many years. I will continue to study with Wayne as long as he is willing teach. Thank you, Wayne.

If you are going to conceal carry, or even open carry, a pistol you should consider this course. There are some skills you will need to efficiently and effectively defend yourself that you probably do not have, even if you have been a firearms person for many years. A gun fight is not sports shooting or hunting, and the legal issues are significant. You need to be prepared. Wayne has the experience and teaching skills to get you where you need to be if you apply yourself. It takes a lot of practice but that is a fun activity also. I highly recommend this course.

Outstanding instructor and course. Wayne is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and just a great guy. Don’t hesitate to reach out to him regardless of your current proficiency level. He’s been there and done that for decades. Highly recommended.

Wayne is an excellent instructor and has a natural talent for teaching others. His real-world, practical knowledge of the subject area greatly enhances the "book learning" provided by the course materials. He is enthusiastic and patient, making the course fun, interesting and doable.

I took the CCW and Defensive Pistol courses with ACT Personal Defense, LLC to gain the knowledge and skills that would allow me to confidently carry a concealed weapon to protect myself and my family members. Mr. Wayne Lanier was an excellent instructor. It was great to learn from someone with real-world experience as a SWAT agent. I will definitely be back to further my education and refine my skills with his other offerings. I highly recommend Wayne for all your training needs.

I grew up in the country shooting all types of guns and thought that I was a pretty great shot and knew it all. I learned quickly that if you don’t learn from someone that knows how to shoot that you can train yourself all kinds of bad habits. I ended up having to take a gun safety course class even though I thought I could shoot, so I googled around and everyone wanted a ridiculous amount of money just for a small course. I ended up going with Wayne at A.C.T and I’m actually glad I did, he taught me quite a few new things and I feel like it will help me in my career to shoot better and train more. I will definitely be going back to more of his classes. I really appreciated the time and attention he gave to me and my fiancée. He’s and all around great guy and teacher.

I have very little experience with firearms, so I was a little nervous at the start of class. My nervousness quickly went away. Wayne Lanier is a wonderful firearms instructor. He gets every person in class involved, and gave each person one on one training.The first thing we learned was firearms safety. We learned how to safely inspect and handle a pistol, always handling an unloaded gun as though it was loaded.Next we used plastic laser firing pistols to practice holding, aiming and firing a gun. The class concluded with firing live rounds at a target twenty-one feet away. There was a lot of other things we learned that I'm not going to give away.I highly recommend Wayne Lanier's classes for anyone, beginners or the experienced marksman.

I took the Learn how to shoot Pistol Marksmanship, Home Defense, and Don’t be a victim classes with A.C.T. and feel much more confident with my firearms handling than I did prior. Our home being safely protected by us and the way we handle the gun makes a huge impact on how comfortable we feel. During the class I learned how to better hold a gun and quickly bring it to my sight, as well as improved on my stance and hand placement so that I have better control of my gun. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and information that we went over. I will return in the future for more training.

Just spent the day training with Wayne today and it was fantastic. I learned a ton. He was really detail oriented in his feedback and was able to communicate concepts through story telling which was both entertaining and enlightening. This was my second class with him and I can't wait to schedule the next one. I left the first one with key concepts that really helped to build the foundation of my shooting experience. Today, he was able help me revisit the basics and push me forwardI really can't wait to have another class with him and I can't recommend him enough. Thanks for a great day today Wayne!
