This was a very knowledgeable class. Very well taught, would recommend to anyone who wants to learn about AR’s.

It was a pleasure meeting you an taking your class I learn a lot. Thank you

I took the USCCA CCHDF Instructor Course with Brian and he was awesome! He made sure people were comfortable in class, ensured we understood the USCC Instructor Fundamentals, and we all learned a few things about firearms as well. I've been an instructor before and can tell you from other experiences that Brian has a great classroom presence.... More

The best informative class ever attended and proper instruction.

Highly recommend! Professionally taught class, with expectations laid out at the very beginning. Having been through various Mil, LEO, and Gov courses/ranges, I was unsure what level of training would be covered as I started the transition to the civilian realm.

Highly recommend! Professionally taught class, with expectations laid out at the very beginning. Having been through various Mil, LEO, and Gov courses/ranges, I was unsure what level of training would be covered as I started the transition to the civilian realm. The course was well-layered, and Brian from Iron Sights Academy is a stand-out instructor. Actively involved, great interactions, responses were professional and not condescending , which is a unique thing to find amongst experienced instructors. A class act, and a great place to continue your firearm education. Less

Iron Sights and Brian are top notch. The training is very detailed and thorough. Once my concealed carry coarse was completed, I was completely confident. I look forward to taking additional classes!... More

Cleaning and maintaining a weapon like the AR can be quite a chore. But somehow Brian’s infectious enthusiasm, knowledge, skill, and humor made the task almost fun. He’s all about safety, and is methodical and patient in his instructions. Time permitting , I hope I can take another course from him.... More

Solid. Brian's instruction made me a better shooter. I had been shooting incorrectly for years due to injury. I had no clue it was even a factor. That issue was fixed in defensive shooting. If you're going to carry, you need to take Defensive Shooting with Brian.
