and other students have said…..

 “Thank you for a class well delivered. I attended the Utah Concealed Carry Course on June 26, 2010 at Smithfield (RI) Sportsman Club, where I am a member. I want to thank Jim Reynolds for his professionalism and knowledge. The course was well run and had a consistant flow throughout the day, presenting and explaining the material. Jim definitely has a way of getting the point across and instilling the respect one needs to handle situations and the responsiblity of carrying a weapon. It was an enjoyable day for me and the others. My thanks to Proactive Shooters and Jim.”——–J.M., Warwick, Rhode Island

 

         “I participated in the first Utah Concealed Carry Course yesterday (June 19, 2010) though Proactive Shooters at Bass Pro Shops in Hampton, Va. Foremost, I would like to extend my appreciation to Proactive Shooters for bringing their Richmond Bass Pro class down to the Hampton Roads area. I want to say thank you to Jim Reynolds for the knowledge and level of professionalism he provided. The instructor was very personable and definitely on top of his profession. The instruction was concise and clear and the exercises were relevant to real world situations one may encounter. With Jim’s importance on real world situations and schooling and his techniques to overcome the odds, this course offers the new, inexperienced, handgun owner the chance to practice techniques that may save their life. I have always said it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it, the same can be said for proper training and practice methods. It was most importantly fun, enjoyable and a great learning experience. Anyone with a Virginia Permit (Combined with Utah 33 States) or even without one (Just Utah 29 States) should look into this course. Hope to see them return to Bass Pro month after month.”——-Josh, Newport News, Va.

 

“I want to thank you again for your advice & helping me choose a more suitable concealed handgun.  My husband & I went to the Showmasters Gun Show last Saturday at RIR.  I did what you suggested and picked up, held, observed and checked out numerous semi-autos… The Bersa Thunder 380 fit my hand perfectly…and we found one for $319.99 plus tax.  I am thrilled! I got familiar with it when I got home and comfortable enough to load it and did a little target practice.  I hit the target 13 out of 15 times from about 20 feet. I want to tell you again how much I enjoyed your Basic Handgun Safety class on November 8 (2009).  If you will recall, November 8 was a beautiful, sunny Sunday. I initially was not looking forward to spending most of the day indoors…but your enthusiasm, knowledge, training skills and ability to engage your audience made the day fly by!  Although I took a basic handgun safety course in 1996, I am glad I attended your class. Proactive Shooters left a positive, lasting impression and I will be sure to recommend your organization to friends, family and other gun enthusiasts who want to exercise their right to keep and bear arms.”——-Sue K-G, Richmond, Va.
