“I wanted to take this opportunity to give 2 thumbs up and 5 stars for an opportunity I personally had to handle, shoot and effectively rate 12 different handguns. Stacy Shoptaw did a fantastic job delivering solid and effective gun safety handling/training while also allowing me the opportunity to evaluate each gun based on various factors such as trigger pull, loading, accuracy, weight, cost, safety and others. His patience and genuine concern for safety was extremely helpful and appreciated. I have been shooting since I was 5 years old and yet I learned so many great things during our time together which in the end helped me make an informed decision on my last handgun purchase. I highly recommend his services especially for those looking to get started. Thanks again Stacy!”

“I highly recommend the training I received from Stacy Shoptaw to anyone interested in learning how to handle, shoot and just feel comfortable with firearms.  Stacy’s knowledge, skill and patience gave me the confidence I needed, whether it would be to use a gun for protection or just go target shooting for fun.  Stacy is an excellent instructor and knows how to make you feel comfortable while learning and enjoying the whole experience.”

“I have always had a healthy fear and respect for guns. I wasn’t exposed them a lot when I was growing up so when I was approached by Stacy asking if I wanted to shoot his collection of guns, I immediately just said, “No”. He kept asking though and I didn’t want to disappoint him so I went along. He was incredibly kind and nonjudgmental with my awkwardness and ignorance. He has a natural teaching ability and I actually enjoyed some of the time spent shooting and learning a bit about the difference between the different makes and models. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants to learn but its all unfamiliar territory. You won’t regret it.”

“Stacy Shoptaw’s shooting class was awesome! I was not familiar with handling handguns prior to taking his class and was able to fire approximately 14 different guns. He was patient and thorough as he explained handling and choosing a handgun for home-use vs concealed carry. Stacy prioritized safety first with each firing. He is extremely knowledgeable about firearms and is an excellent teacher. Based on my class, I was able to confidently choose a handgun that is right for me and serves my needs.
