Great class

Regardless of your skill level this course helps elevate your shooting skills by putting you under appropriate levels of stress before engaging your target. I was skeptical of a carbine course geared toward civilian defense but was happily proven wrong. Not to mention Bill is a fantastic and patient instructor. Highly recommend.

Great Learning Experience

I took Bill's Defensive Use of AR class and it was a game changer. Bill is a fantastic instructor. He builds on fundamentals and gives students more and more skills to continue to refine training. The result for me was that I came away at the end of the day with significantly better honed practices and skills with my AR. Bill adds the "why" to building training fundamentals. He is a gifted instructor. I highly recommend this course.

Perfect if you are new or moderately familiar with your AR.

My friend suggested this class as I had just bought an AR. I had only shot a few rounds through it at my last visit to the range so I was not comfortable with it. By the end of the class I felt much more comfortable carrying the AR and using it in a safe and productive way. We learned the basics and a little more. I think this class is something that you could take a few times and still gain from each time. I could see my self taking it at least once more. Great instruction and fun safe experience. Can't ask for more.

AR Defensive shooting class

This is the second time taking this class. The professionalism Bill has beginning to the end of the class is top notch. Very informative and the hands on to each participant makes the class a must . From basics to high intense situations to be able to adapt and react , calm and calculated decisions, shows the importance of respecting firearms, practice and exposure to situations. Bill was very clear that safety and always being aware of your surroundings is top priority . Highly recommend taking this class and it will take you to the next level. I will continue taking other classes with Patriot Firearms School. Thank you for a great experience

Solid AR Fundamentals Class

Bill's a very good instructor. He doesn't swagger or show off the way some firearms instructors do. He's to the point, offering clear instructions and the reasons for them. He is very focused on safety. In this class, he took us through a large variety of drills, moving from simpler to more complex. He also did a nice job of adding cognitive load as the day went on, to drive home the point of how important it is to practice these manipulations so that they are wired in the neural pathways for when things go south. As fun as it is, sitting at the range and slow firing at a 50 or 100 yd target doesn't do it. I found particularly helpful his emphasis on the differences between defensive and target shooting, and his demand that I pick up the speed. Also nothing like dumping a mag to "let freedom ring"!
