Some feedback from a few of our training students…
Good group of instructors
I couldn’t hit the side of a barn with a pistol until I met JD and team for some practice at Silver Bullet in Wheat Ridge. I was anticipating the shot and flinching before the shot and Rance put some snap caps in my magazine which was a great lesson. Soon was bunching my shots up nicely. I later learned some tactical drills at an outdoor range with WD near Idaho Springs with my daughter. The training I received has really helped me build confidence and improve my safety skills. I still hear WD as a drill Sargent yelling in my ear “front site, front site” and “nothing matters but God, you, and the front site.” You’ll definitely learn something from these guys !

WD is loud, in your face, and tells it like it is, but with a sense of humor. That’s what you want from someone teaching the importance of firearms safety training. There’s no taking back a fired bullet and he is very good at getting that idea into people’s heads. I had a great time in his MRA-CHP class and am already planning ahead to take the Advanced classes.

My first time in any kind of firearms class, and only my second time shooting firearms. I went in knowing next to nothing about nothing, and came out feeling like I had a firm understanding of the basics. That includes gun mechanics/function, safety, firing technique, Colorado state gun laws. I’m motivated to practice and learn more!

WD and his staff are very knowledgeable, friendly, and place a heavy emphasis on safety. I will definitely be going back for more advanced training!

Had my advanced skills range class with WD today at the Clear Creek Sportsman Club range. This is my third class with him, and as a former teacher, I can attest that WD is a super instructor, who teaches gun safety, tactics and skills with passion and undeniable knowledge. He’s detailed, thorough and a sincere straight shooter. He can be firm and blunt if you need it, but very encouraging as well. WD will get you to wherever you want to be in the Firearm self defense world, without question,

My family and I have have taken several classes from Wayne and have had quite a few range sessions. WD is a great instructor with a lot of firearms training experience having worked extensively in and with law enforcement. If you want to learn about and become proficient with firearms, Wayne and his staff are the people to see.
