Just finished up the NRA certified pistol instructor course with TJ. What a great experience. TJ is knowledgeable and he is willing to share his wealth of information. He is kind, smart and funny. I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot. He kept the class moving at a great pace. I can't wait to use the info that TJ taught me. Thanks for a great class.

Highly recommend this course for CCW permit. I learned so many valuable lessons, move and shoot, working with low lights, awareness tips. We trained and learned so many variable techniques. I've gained so much confidence in handling my gun and working with a holster.
