"Guadalupe and Bud go above and beyond for their students. I took the level one pistol training with them at the beginning of the year. Now I’m preparing for level two by taking some private lessons with them. They’re super knowledgable, friendly, and they went to the gun store with me to help me choose a gun, AND showed me how to take it apart and clean it! I have learned so much in a short time. I also love that they are part of the Richmond Gun Club and they can easily set up private lessons there weekly. AND whenever I go to the range and shoot, if they’re available, they’ll come and give me pointers! Great guys, great courses — this is THE company to learn from."

"As you may have heard a great number of women have bought guns during the pandemic and I am one of those women. I also wanted to be safe and smart about handling guns so I signed up for safety gun classes with Bud and Guadalupe. The teachers are experts in the field but they are open to any questions you might have. Being a novice in the gun world, I did not know many of the terminology and I had a ton of basic questions. Both teachers are very patient and will answer any questions. I was lucky to have taken the class with other women so we bonded together. At the gun range, the teachers take their time to go over the proper handling of the gun and to make you feel comfortable and safe. The whole experience has been very positive and I can't wait to advance and get better at gun handling/shooting."
