What People Are Saying

Very formative class, Patrick was very patient and answered all my questions. If you haven't booked your class yet, what are you waiting for?! Book today, you won't regret it.
Kelly D.Ready, Aim, Learn
The First time shooting course with Patrick Daniels went better that I could imagine. The instructor was very patient and helped ease my fear of shooting a gun for the first time. I felt safe with an instructor who knew his craft. I feel much comfortable now in shooting a fire arm, and I recommend anyone who is nervous to shoot a gun for the first time to take this course.
Sarah J.First-Time Shooter
Perfect place if you are ready to take your first step into the world of firearms. Patrick is a genuine down-to-earth guy with a patient demeanor, something that is not so easy to find in the gun scene. Prices are very reasonable.
Andrew M.Ready, Aim, Learn
I was fortunate enough to have a personal lesson with Patrick recently. I had never held a weapon before never mind shooting one. I have a bucket list and this was on it. I totally felt comforted with Patrick by my side. He went over everything I needed to know during our half hour review. He is very calming. I have to say I did get nervous when the next half hour came about and I had to hold and shoot the gun. At this point Patrick made me feel extra special and confident that i could do this. Well I did it. If anyone is interested in learning the proper way of handling & shooting a gun, he is your man. Thank you Patrick, for a safe & wonderful experience. Best to you in your future endevour!
Kathleen H.First-Time Shooter
Had a great time at the range today, learning one-on-one, the fundamentals of the handgun, safety, and range etiquette in this introductory course. Patrick is an excellent firearms instructor. Very professional, knowledgeable, focused, and always conscientious of firearm safety. Takes the time to explain things thoroughly without rushing, I highly recommend him. Thanks again Patrick.
David A.First-Time Shooter
Patrick was an excellent instructor. Informative, patient, and professional. He took the time to explain things well and was encouraging throughout. I would highly recommend FTS
Matthew T.Ready, Aim, Learn
Absolutely wonderful and immensely informative!! I’m so glad to have been trained with a great instructor like Patrick, who is never condescending with his teaching! I was able to ask many questions and never felt that I was being rushed or judged, and I was gently corrected if I made a mistake which gave me the opportunity to make it right and learn from it! I feel much more confident handling firearms, and have even more respect and understanding of how safety is the number one priority. I would highly recommend his work to anyone, from novice to expert, and to take a class with him.
