Experience counts... Don't trust your life to less
Armed Defense instructors are among the most experienced and professional instructors available anywhere.   
Do you have as much experience as your instructor?  Many people have jumped on the
"firearms instructor" bandwagon lately with little or no experience or training background.  
While some new instructors attend a two-day instructor class to obtain their certificate, Armed
Defense instructors average 25 to 30 years firearms experience, 15 to 25 years law
enforcement experience, competition shooting experience, and two of our instructors have
been involved in actual shootings, and won!  Experience counts, put it to work for you.
