My wife and I took "Intro to Pistols" at Take Aim Carolina, and can not say enough good things about the whole experience. It was easy to enroll for the class, we were worked into a suitable class time within a short period, we were met at the door to the classroom by the owners/operators, had an excellent class learning about the various types of pistols and other information (Lewis has the ability to speak clearly, intelligently and at a level geared for the knowledge level of the participants!!!), then we went to the range. What a great experience for both of us. Class size was small so all of us had the opportunity for what felt like true individual instruction on the use of our weapons. Both Lewis and Kim are knowledgeable and want to teach their students the proper handling of the weapons as well as proper range etiquette. If you are looking for firearm instruction, don't look any further... Take Aim Carolina is the place you want to go!

Lewis and Kim are absolutely amazing instructors. I Basic Pistol and Instructor Training with them. I learned more in those couple of days with them, than I have in a month of some of my previous college classes.I recommend Take Aim with 5 stars to the 10th power!!

As a relatively new shooter and gun owner I set out to get some training. After doing some research and reading the glowing reviews, Take Aim Carolina seemed to be the place to go. I jumped on their web sight, picked a class and signed up. After a combination of me 'guessing' which class to sign up for and the TAC folks altering their class schedule in response to Covid-19 I somehow blundered my way into a private training with Lewis. I found Lewis to be extremely knowledgeable and a superb teacher. I will definitely be back for more education... likely multiple times. Thank you Lewis and I'll see you this summer!

Take Aim Carolina is one of the most professional places I've ever been for any kind of training. Both Kim and Lewis are extremely knowledgeable; not to mention friendly.If you're on the fence about getting a CCH permit or more advanced tactical training; my advice is just go to Take Aim Carolina, already. You won't regret it, and you might just have some fun along the way.

I attended an Intro to Pistols class that was so small and intimate. Being a woman I was hoping for a women’s only experience and that’s just what I got! Kim is an amazing instructor. She made sure we were ready every step of the way. I have 2 guns but had never fired a weapon and needed to know what to expect. I can now confidently load and use these firearms. I will be going back to them for my conceal and carry license. I highly recommend Take Aim Carolina!!

Lewis and Kim are amazing!!! They are highly knowledgeable about their field. I had many questions leading up to the class and Kim answered every one of them very promptly. Lewis and Kim made everyone of us feel like family in class and at the range. I would recommend their business to anyone.

I came to class with very little knowledge of and confidence with guns. I took intro to pistol and then concealed carry course and left with confidence in being able to safely handle guns. Lewis and Kim are great teachers, very patient and will not make you feel rushed. Any question you throw at them, they can answer. I would take all their classes if I could afford it. I highly recommend Take Aim Carolina. It is money well invested.

The Intro to Guns - Women Only class was phenomenal & I highly recommend it! As a newbie to all of this, I was not sure what to expect. From when I walked in the door to when I left the shooting range, I felt supported & encouraged to educate myself on gun safety & a sense of empowerment as I learned how to correctly operate a gun. Lewis & Kim are great & are very well educated in this field as well as highly knowledgeable of fire arm brands & types. The $75 option is well worth it. I did not realize how important it was to select a firearm that was a "good fit" for me. I plan on taking their next course very soon!

I took the conceal carry class with take aim sat 8-3-2019 and hands down some of the best down to earth people you could meet. The class was fun and didn’t drag on like some similar classes can do with the wrong instructors. They offer more classes and resources to help you continue in your training and I plan on taking many more would highly recommend to all shooters and those who have not joined the amazing sport of shooting

My husband & I took the CC class with Lewis & his wife Kim! Not only was it very educational but they found ways to make it FUN. It really made an 8-6 class go by fast! You can tell they TRULY love what they do. Highly recommended Take Aim Carolina, we look forward to future training classes with TAC.

Kim and Lewis and their family are all very well versed in what they teach and offer throughout all their courses! They are super welcoming and I was surprised at how much I learned from them...I knew a good amount coming into the course but I realized there was much to learn as well. I felt really confident in myself coming out of their course and would highly recommend Take Aim Carolina if you want to learn more about personal protection.

Lewis and Kim Newman run a very professional firearms training outfit. My wife and I took their NC Concealed Carry Handgun course this past Sunday. We had both possessed concealed carry permits from NC & VA in the past but had allowed them to expire during a few years we lived in the DC area. The legal part of this course has changed somewhat since the early 2000s and the Newmans were very thorough as well as entertaining while presenting the current iteration. They are also very knowledgeable when it comes to general firearms handling, safety and procedures. The majority of the class attendees were fairly new shooters or brand new shooters and Kim and Lewis patiently and cheerfully helped everyone feel comfortable, both in class and at the range. I applaud the courage of any new shooter jumping feet-first into this type of environment as it has great potential to be intimidating. Kim and Lewis clearly understand that and couldn't have been more accommodating to all levels of experience and skill. We'll be back for some of their advanced classes. Thank you TAC!

Four of my family members took the NC Concealed Carry class at TAC last Saturday. I sat in on the class as an observer. I know a number of "qualified" teachers of this course and have taken or observed the class twice before. The team of Lewis and Kim are head and shoulders above any class I have witnessed or taken in the past. Because of Lewis' real life experiences he brings another dimension to teaching firearms safety and techniques.Two friends of mine took their course a few months back and they were so delighted with their experience we all decided to attend. Good choice.Lewis and Kim compliment each other's skills and are professional, personable and thorough. I hope they will be around for a long time!God Bless America !!

We took NRA Basic Pistol and TAC 1 Defensive Pistol. NRA Basic was some good classroom instruction then range qualifications In TAC 1, we learned a ton about proper use of a concealed carry weapon today. We did several hours of drills at the range to hone our skills. Lewis is awesome and really wants to ensure you are prepared when you complete the course. Kim does a great job keeping us all straight. Highly recommended.
