 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Do not hesitate to take the firearms safety class with Tom and live fire class with Joe Morgan. My husband and I took the firearms safety class a few months ago with Tom. I am so very glad I chose this class over others out there. Tom is very engaging and makes the class so interesting you don’t realize the time going by so fast. Class was extremely informative. Tom definitely is a wealth of information. I highly recommend this class  to anyone looking for firearms safety certification. Yesterday we took the live fire class with Joe Morgan. Again this is a class I highly recommend. I took this class having never fired a gun before and I was very nervous. I left feeling very confident. Joe explained use of firearms in a very clear and understandable, and informative way. His instruction and tips were so helpful and my shooting was close to perfect. Thanks you thank you to Tom and Joe.
