I recently attended Ty’s’ Basic Pistol class and was thoroughly impressed. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to ensure everyone understood the material, and his depth of knowledge was evident throughout the class. Ty made the experience both educational and comfortable, which is especially important for beginners like myself. His focus on safety and proper handling was reassuring, and he encouraged questions, making sure no one left with doubts.
If you’re considering a concealed carry class, I highly recommend Ty. He’s a great instructor, and his professionalism and dedication to his students really stand out.
