NRA Pistol Instructor

I found Bill to be detailed, systematic, and thorough (all the foundational things one looks for in a precise topic such as firearms). I now point out that he is far more that than that ... he mentors his class, even in a class of 8-10 people, each person has a voice in the room to ask, clarify, raise concerns about how to teach something and Bill takes the time to make sure that everyone is learning to succeed.

I took this instructor class in Oct 2020 and have already taught 6 classes (total of 8 students)

Bill is not only a great teacher, he equips, encourages, and inspires each student to believe they can teach as well.

Bill Dalpe has given me the tools to become a good firearms instructor. He is a fantastic teacher in the classroom and on the range. My live fire training with Bill has proved invaluable. I would highly recommend Patriot Firearms to anyone interested in firearms or learning to train with your firearm.

I have recently completed The NRA’s Pistol a Instructor course even though it was pretty long that time flew by with the excellence of my instructor Mr. William Dalpe made class not only enjoyable but very informative highly recommend using Patriot Firearms or any course you may need or want to take

I took the Pistol Instructor Course will Bill a little over a year ago. Bill is a great instructor, makes the class interesting and informative while engaging the students. One of the things Bill does is if you have taken an instructor course with him, he allows you to sit in on the course again as a refresher for free. Because I haven't been teaching, I did the pistol course again this weekend and got so much out of it. Bill takes ownership and pride in the instructors he certifies, he's willing to act as a resource for us. His competence is exceptional as is his teaching ability.

I would highly recommend the courses taught at Patriot Firearms School. Bill is a top rate trainer in the classroom and at the range. It is clear that Bill enjoys his work and puts a great amount of time and personnel effort into making sure his students learn and are successful. Unlike many other trainers he is open and receptive to students comments and concerns whether they be new or experienced shooters.
