What can I say about R. Felder. First of all there’s not enough stars to give him. He is the best instructor I ever had. He’s very knowledgeable and has a lot of patience. If you ever want to get your pistol permit he is the right person for the job. Thank you very much for all the help you gave me, I really appreciated it. I will recommend you and your business to my friends and family.

Rob is an outstanding instructor who guided me through hands-on experience in understanding the proper way to hold and use a firearm. Additionally, I gained insight into when it is appropriate to use it and ultimately received a certificate, which I then submitted for my concealed carry application.

I learned alot in a short amount of time just from speaking with Rob. Especially dealing with safety first, and I actually have experience with firearms, so it was refreshing to get a different perspective on how to handle it physically and mentally stay focused!!
