Written reviews:

Thank you so much again for your instruction today. You are an excellent teacher. I took note, and truly appreciated, the attention you showed to the fact that, as a woman, my physical and emotional response to the training would be different than that of a man. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone that needs instruction, but most certainly to other women. - Lisa V. on Nov 19, 2011
Thank you again for the one-on-one personal instruction and considerable extra time you provided at yesterday's training. It was exactly what I needed to feel more confident handling, maintaining and storing firearms and ammunition safely. I feel much better about owning and keeping a rife. Much appreciated... - Allan B. on Apr 1, 2012

Some reviews submitted online:

Extremely Friendly, Awesome shooting club. The Hatch CHL class was excellently done and very professional. - Doctnt on Mar 22, 2012
Took the CHL class at the Armory. Excellent class taught by knowledgeable NRA-qualified folks. I'll recommend this to my colleagues. - Warren on Mar 22, 2012
Beautiful facility, excellent instruction of the NRA Basic Pistol Class by kind and qualified teachers, no 'meat head' atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff even though it was a very busy Saturday. It means a lot to me when staff at a busy place repeatedly thank customers for their patience. A good selection of rental guns, and as a beginner, I felt comfortable admiting it and asking for recommendations. - Ben ‎on Mar 21, 2012
The range is a great place to shoot. The staff is great and the range is indoors. Safety is the number one important thing with the range and I love that. I have completed the CHL course at the facility as well and the trainers are excellent! It was informative and they really spent time with the class. This range is definitely worth a visit. I joined and look forward to many more courses and minutes on the range. - Jodie ‎on Mar 9, 2012
I want to commend you for the self defense class you put on March 1. The instructors, Ryan Hatch and Ken Ewing, were excellent and my skills increased considerably based on what I learned. - Jon ‎on Mar 6, 2012
