Classes are engaging and filled with excellent content. During your shooting portion at the range, Mike, is it especially highly skilled safety expert and provide provides timely instruction to correct any issues on the range. These include misfires and improper handling of equipment. Take this course if you want to be enrolled in the best course in the state of New Mexico.
I see the value of the module with different types of holsters, giving us recommendations based on personal experience and such. However, I think it is unnecessarily long, and a part of the learning process that can be researched on our own instead. My suggestion would be shortening it if possible
In addition to providing a great training and interesting information, his class is based on upon “safety first.” I felt extremely comfortable training with Mr Grimler.
There is a lot valuable and important information in this class and Michael presents it in clear, concise manner. No bravado here. Questions always welcomed and answered with clarity. Excellent teaching style in a professional, safety conscious environment. I’d highly recommend this class to anyone interested concealed carry and firearms instruction.
