  • "Defensive Shooting skills puts on an outstanding CPL course. The owner Jeff Crosby was our instructor and he holds himself and his class to a higher standard; all while keeping the dry material as fun and as interest as possible. I really enjoyed the respect he had for my profession as a first responder and and as well the respect he has for our military. Jeff is a high caliber individual and I would highly recommend this course. Jeff’s wife and daughter also help with the course and are extremely personable!"

  • very insightful class and the instructors have good senses of humor so it's not just 100% sitting through boring lectures. They know how to keep it interesting while still being educational

  • I highly recommend the CPL course. However, I was upset that the first steps course covered exactly the same content as the CPL class in less detail. I felt the only value add this class had were the 3-4 minutes we were able to handle a gun... Even for newbies, I felt the first shooters class was definitely not worth the extra money or time.

  • The gun safety and CPL classes were very informative. I enjoyed hearing about real life stories/situations. Training on the range was thorough and it was helpful having multiple trainers be available. Great classes. I will go back if I ever want to advance my training more.
