Dave is an extremely knowledgeable firearms instructor. I've had experience handling firearms in the military, but it had been a while since I'd fired one. Dave was able to help me shake the rust off. He is extremely patient, and is focused on giving you the best training possible. His tips and videos have really helped me become a more confident shooter. I would highly recommend his class! Thanks for all of the help Dave!

David Maynard is a very good trainer on how to handle a hand gun. The directions he gave me were very helpful. David went over how to hold and how to pick up a hand gun which I have never been shown the proper way before. He let me shoot at a target for a few shots it felt so much better in how to hold the gun.
