An AWESOME day at the Basic Combat AR class. Great people and the best instructors. The instructors push your comfort level to make us a better shooter. Highly recommend this class and any others they teach.

First time attending one of their classes and it was a great experience. Did the pistol red dot class and learned a lot of good stuff there. Came all the way from Woodbridge Virginia and will happily make the trip again. Looking forward to my next experience with this group!
