I want to thank Mr. Gardner for making sure I understand safe gun handling and the responsibility of gun ownership. I’m looking forward to fire my new Glocks and Taurus at the range & to start IL/FL Concealed Carry class in two weeks. Thanks!

Great presentation , very informative , no less than 5 things we didn’t know. Very in depth teaching - NRA Basic Pistol Course. I will be referring all my friends, relatives as well as business associates to Andrew Gardner. Looking forward to taking more NRA Classes asap. Classroom and staff top shelf.

Fantastic experience. Andrew has a gift for teaching and took his time going through the information with me. As someone new to guns, I had a lot of questions and Andrew patiently answered all of them. After the course work, the range time was excellent. Having hands on training with different type of handguns is a huge asset. I walked away from my time with Andrew knowing what I like and don\'t like in a handgun. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking to take a firearms course.

Great instructor and Staff! When I finished my Basics of the Pistol handgun training course with Andrew and his associates, I felt way more confident in my pistol skills, but more importantly I now have a better understanding of the laws concerning firearms. Thank you Andrew and associates!!
