Customer Feedback:
Your Practical Shotgun course was exactly what I was looking for. Aptly named as Practical Shotgun training in home defense not law enforcement, security or military. I felt the information you provided, including gear selection and Article 35, was very helpful in being prepared. The scenarios and drills we ran were geared to real world home defense situations. The reloading drills were especially fun, fast paced but not intimidating, they demonstrated the importance of keeping a loaded shotgun. I commend you for your patience and teaching abilities to deliver a course exactly as titled. Also I felt the time length of this course was most appropriate to the content of home defense. You moved the course right along, delivering the information that was needed to be taught without wasting time on side track issues or irrelevant, repetitive drills that can be too much to absorb in one afternoon and turn the course into a tedious all day affair. Thanks again , hope to repeat next year. - Dave A.
"Great instructors, well credentialed and lots of firearms training experience. I got some great range time, learned some fun drills and saw that you really do need to train, train, train with your tools. Got some critical thinking in about my home defense setup. I recommend IronSight without reservation and will likely be taking more of their classes, including their carbine class". Andy - Buffalo
