Great experience! I was very nervous at first but Ryan was awesome! I learned a lot and I now feel more comfortable handling a firearm. Very knowledgeable people that want you to learn and be safe. Keeps you interested the whole class it’s long but worth it! You learn so much and you will pass the test with Ryan teaching. If you are interested in owning a gun please take this course! They teach you hands on.
I wanted to take a moment to praise Aqil and Tiffany for their fantastic instructors course... In my 20 plus years of attending in person courses I have never met anyone that embodied the dedication and professionalism like these two people. The information was expertly prepared and presented with the utmost clarity. The range, under somewhat adverse conditions, was the best and safest I had ever attended. I can not say enough good things about the course and I will be looking to attend more of their courses in the future...
I attended an enhanced handgun carry permit class with this group. The class participants were 5 men (all well skilled and knowledgeable about guns) and 3 women (one was a wife of one of the men who had been a firearms instructor in another state . . . so she knew what she was doing, myself who did okay, and another women who was clearly not well skilled or knowledgeable about the content of the required knowledge or the handling of firearms). What I LOVED was that the instructor, David, and Tiffany and Art (owners of the business I believe) were NOT rude or disrespectful of her even though everyone else was ready to go. When we got to the range and she was clearly struggling, they were kind, caring, compassionate, and focused on the skill level that she needed to attain. I would STRONGLY recommend this group to anyone. This recommendation was made to me by Kristin McKinney the owner of SheShoots who I would also strongly recommend for shooting lessons. Thanks to all of you. You create a positive and genuinely caring culture around the use of firearms in the state of TN for which I am abundantly grateful. If more people interacted with the 4 of you, we would be a safer, wiser, and more intelligent world relative to self protection and the use of firearms. THANK YOU
Tiffany and Aqil are excellent instructors. They incorporate different yet complimentary teaching styles and are effective communicators. Combined, they represent a wealth of knowledge on the subjects of safety, legal accountability, options for self-defense, and ethical considerations regarding matters of personal protection. I look forward to attending additional instruction from Citizens Safety Academy.
