Relevant Feedback
I attended the Tactical Hyve Tactical Pistol/Carbine 1 course this past weekend in Escondido, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.
The instructors, Jonny and Jay, were excellent—professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. They created an environment that was both safe and encouraging, which made it easy to learn and ask questions.
The course itself was extremely informative and exactly what I was looking for as I continue building my confidence with firearms. We covered a wide range of topics, including systems safety, firearm functionality, and practical gear setup such as plate carriers and belt layouts. I especially appreciated the introduction to more advanced (yet still beginner-accessible) field operations, which really helped bridge the gap between basic handling and real-world application.
Overall, this training exceeded my expectations. I left with a much stronger understanding of both the technical and practical aspects of firearm use, along with greater confidence in my abilities. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to build a solid foundation and progress their skills in a safe, supportive environment.
Training was great, good progression from easy to hard enough to challenge shooters. When shooters encountered difficulties, for whatever reason, individual attention was given and corrections offered. Simple steps, easy to understand, were offered and encouragement by instructors created confidence in the shooter. Result was better performance.
Johnnie is a great instructor and a solid marksman. Pleasure and honor to work with him through this workshop! Jay did a great job assisting. Well done workshop! Will be back for more!
Overall very happy with the training. Knowledgeable instructor with a good sense of humor and didn’t take himself too seriously.
