Was dreading having to do this I'm very easily annoyed. But Jake takes very good control of the classroom and keeps the attention seekers at bay which would normally ruin a class like this for me. Wish I wouldn't have waited so long now. Expearianced or not you will learn something and come out with a very clear cut knowledge of the laws in this state. He also does very well at the range with inexpeiranced people you will feel safe.

The class was very educational . The teacher Was great more than helpful. He was ready to answer any question that I had. A real friendly guy with a lot of knowledge on fire arms and fire arm safety. I was extremely nervous going in to class. This teacher managed to ease that within the first 10 minutes. Now I’m confident in my ability’s to use and store firearms properly. I also feel like I have a better understanding of the laws for firearm safety.
Would recommend this class it was awesome!

This experience was very informative and efficiently taught. The class was small enough and Jake taught this course with so much passion and knowledge. I hadn't held a firearm in years but I felt comfortable afterwards. Jake really knows his stuff and kept us alert as well as laughing to keep us tuned in. I was feeling intimidated going into the course but that changed quickly. I would most certainly advise anyone to take this class, he's the best!

This class was very informative. There were several experiences shared that we can come across at any point in our lives. The outcomes of those experiences really put decision making into perspective. I appreciate hearing real stories instead of made up scenarios. Before this class I had never shot a firearm. After this class, I feel more comfortable shooting and actually look forward to going back to work on sites and accuracy.

Was very happy with the concealed carry class. Was a great environment and professional. Classroom time was not dreadful at all and the range was of course fun but held to a very high standard for safety and professionalism. I’m definitely coming back to do other classes here. I’m looking at the speed and accuracy class next! Highly recommend!

All the great reviews were right on the money. Jacob is easy to listen to and the class flew by. He also was thorough without going overboard. The classroom was a very nice conference room and he likes to keep the class small to give individual attention. I am looking at taking more classes with Jacob in the coming year.
