I attended a Defense Shooting Fundamentals class this week at Hodgkins location. Ed the training instructor was well versed and very professional with all phases of class. Very informative and a class worth taking as you get more comfortable with your firearm. Class also included Range practice.

Just finished this class at the Louisville, KY location. Awesome classroom and range experience. Bob Smith was a fantastic instructor. Bob made the class informative and interesting. He is a very skilled instructor, knowledgeable in defensive skills. He showed interest in the students performance and was helpful in advising how we could improve our skills. He insured that all necessary requirements were maintained to insure safety of all of all concerned. It was a great learning and fun experience.

Nick did a great job of making everyone of all skill levels comfortable. All of us learned a lot and improved our capabilities. We had individualized training to improve where we needed it, and passed us to do better. Great class and Nick was a great instructor. Would take another class with him.

*FULL DISCLOSURE: I AM A RANGE USA EMPLOYEE AND RECIEVED THE EMPLOYEE PRICING FOR THIS CLASS* With that being said, I highly recommend this course if you're looking for an advanced defensive class geared for concealed carrying. Michael Copeland was our instructor and this was the first class that I have taken under him. Michael did a great job and I was very impressed with his teaching style. He communicated clearly and was very confident and knowledgeable with the information that he presented. There was very little classroom time and the shooting portion was fast paced, very fun, and kept my attention throughout the entire range portion of the class. At no time did I feel unsafe or that we were sacrificing safety at the expense of fast-paced training. This is definitely NOT a class for beginners, but if you are looking to advance your knowledge through reality based training while getting out of your comfort zone, in my opinion, this is the best $70 you can spend. I have actually signed up for the next class available with a different instructor just to get more experience and trigger time with this style of training. Great class and great instructing from Mike. Highly recommended!

As usual, Bob G. did a great job teaching this Defensive Fundamentals class. He mixed detailed information, stories and made it enjoyable and informational to attend. It’s easy to see that he cares about his students and wants them to learn and have a fun time at RangeUSA. I hope RangeUSA offers more/varied classes for those that are interested. What about doing a “part 2” of the “Defensive Fundamentals” class among other varied new classes? I also would like to see a “class” similar to the Lady Sure Shots for men or open to all. This would give the group the same opportunity to work on our shooting techniques with trainers, easily purchase needed ammo, accessories, etc. while at the RangeUSA range as the women alone get with the Lady Sure Shots. This would give RangeUSA the opportunity to have more customers come in more regularly, become more comfortable with RangeUSA, try different guns through the rental program that they would be more likely to purchase from RangeUSA and make better/safer shooters that would more likely sign up for more classes, tell their friends and families about their positive experiences at RangeUSA and as I said above purchase ammo and accessories when they are at RangeUSA. It’s a win/win for the customers and RangeUSA!
