Sentinel Firearms Training LLC has been the perfect solution in building a solid foundation for my wife and me on how firearms should be properly used and safely handled. Russ's courses are a must for anyone that plans to handle a gun, no matter what your experience level may be.

We found Russ's instruction to be professional, enlightening and a heck of a good time. So much so that after we finished the NRA Basic Pistol class we immediately signed up for additional instruction.

Both the classroom and range instruction (yes, a live firearm range is onsite) offered more than we could have ever imagined. If you are looking for a thorough firearm training experience without the pressure or intimidation factor, we do not know of a better place to be than with Russ at Sentinel Firearms Training LLC.

Sincerely,
Jim & Kristin S.
