Great people, great first event, good stages. Only suggestion is that it be run at a faster pace, to fit more stages and more shooting into the time allotted.
Had a great time! Safety was the top priority but fun came in a close second. The instructor and RSO were highly knowledgable and supportive to all skill levels.
This is not competition, but a time to learn the skills and confidence to be able to defend yourself and others in situations that require decision making in the moment as well as handling the stress that can come with it.
I will be back again next month!
Great day with great people. Very well thought out stages that allowed different ways of handling a possible threat situation. Great way to learn what you need to work on and get better. Thanks for putting this together.
Good class. Seems to be targeting beginning carry but has plenty to offer anyone who carries or wants to carry a firearm.
I will return to this training.
Refreshingly diverse group of students in ability, background and personality. Good comraderie & support by both students & trainers.
Thank you for your time, effort and expertise in putting on this course
Very informative & well done. Safety is a priority & is emphasized throughout the course. I learned the names of the parts of pistols & revolvers, and what their functions are. I learned how to fill a magazine & load a gun, proper stance & readiness to press the trigger. The full day course (9:00 to 6:00) was a little overwhelming for me (a lot of information to absorb), but might be fine for younger people. For older people, several 2-hour courses might be easier. Dr. Jimmy was patient and encouraging.
Great personal skills with the trainer and thankful to have brought my son who is not a USCCA member.
A wonderful course. Both the classroom and range portions were outstanding. The classroom sessions – lecture and discussion – were effective for conveying key concepts in developing and applying emotional intelligence. The role-play in the range sessions allowed us to see how we might apply those lessons in coaching situations with students of widely varying backgrounds and experience. Highly valuable. Whether you teach students at the beginning, intermediate, or advanced levels, this course will expand your skills.
Amazing experience in a great environment. I learned a ton!
Superb range facilities and strong focus on safety, professional curricula and instruction! Highly recommended.
All great and thorough instruction from Dr. Jimmy. Adequate breaks for content digestion time and wonderful evaluation for understanding of each participants level of comfort in handling firearms. Safety is Cohutta Pine’s staff #1 priority and they mean it.
Would suggest a detailed time agenda in the informational email.
Ex:
09:30 am - 9:45 am Arrive on site to get situated
10:00 am - Intro to Safety and discussion
11:45 am - 15 minute break
12:00 pm - intro to handling and getting familiar with your tools
Etc…With 9:30 I would have aimed for 9:15 and arrived at 9:45 that. It’s an ADHD thing.
This course was a fabulous opportunity to become educated about guns and how to use them safely. Dr. Jimmy is extremely knowledgable, a great educator, patient and emphasizes being safe and feeling safe above anything else. I highly recommend this course as an entry point to handling and using guns.
Overall a well put together program that definitely is beneficial to untrained shooters. Great atmosphere. Very knowledgeable instructor and friendly helpful staff.
Excellent facilities, professional instruction, well developed safety protocols
Very informative. Great staff! Made me really think about how much responsibility re to gun ownership I am willing to accept.
My husband and I took firearm training with Dr. Jimmy and Logan, and it was a great experience. I’ve been around guns my whole life, but after this training, I’m more confident handling handguns than I’ve ever been. The safety training alone was worth it! I usually have trouble sitting in a classroom, but they kept it interesting and fun.
At the range, we put those skills to use — it was the safest and most beautiful range I’ve ever been to. My husband, who has experience repairing firearms, was blown away by what he learned. For him, a lot of it was unlearning old habits (I had a few to break too! tee hee hee). We’re already looking forward to taking more courses in the future.
Everything was fantastic. As a beginner, I went in with next to no knowledge and learned a lot through the guidance from Dr. Jimmy and Logan. Thanks for the class!
I never thought a 6 hour class could be informative and fun, but it was. I learned a lot and enjoyed the entire process.
Cohutta Pines is an awesome facility! And Dr. Jimmy is a phenomenal instructor. He has the ability to teach at your level, regardless of your prior experience and skill level. Even though I consider myself a fairly competent and well-trained shooter, I still picked up numerous “nuggets” during this class. I look forward to training at Cohutta Pines with Jimmy again in the future.
Love the class!
This class is an excellent compliment to their basic intro to handguns class. After a thorough review of handgun safety, mechanics and components, you head up to the range and work up to various types of live fire drills. The repetitive drilling is crucial for building muscle memory and confidence and both were achieved in this class. Kudos to Jimmy and Brian for creating such a safe and stress free environment. They are both so professionally trained and credentialed, they don’t miss a thing, and are right there to provide constructive feedback after every drill. Will definitely be back for more training. The instructors and the facility are world class. Well done!
