Rated 5 out of 5
David is a fantastic trainer! I had never used a firearm before taking David's class and was extremely nervous about handling a firearm. By the time we started using live ammunition, I felt comfortable, safe and aware. David is a thorough, thoughtful trainer, with an abundance of knowledge. I highly recommend taking one or more of his classes.
