In the past 2 weeks, I have taken 2 courses Urban Pistol 1 and NRA PPITH, so I would like to thank you and the team for the excellent training programs that you are providing.
Regarding the Urban Pistol 1, I can comment that I was impressed on the superb quality of the instructors John, Bill and Tony, as well as the type of training provided. The teaching procedures which included sharing experiences and demonstrations were extremely informative and helped me understand better safety/handling procedures. In addition, even though there was a change in location within 1 week of the course date, it was very well communicated. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations, and I am looking forward to take the next course levels. Thanks to the instructors for their time, teaching and patience.
Regarding the PPITH, the course was well organized, well delivered and was good learning experience. The curriculum was heavy on the theory side, but overall good source of information. I believe that the practice time was also very helpful to solidify some of the theory as well as to create muscle memory. Thank you and John for the training.
As a side note, I have been a GFH member for only few months, but during this short timeframe, I have appreciated the high level of professionalism of all the staff members (Instructors, RSOs, store reps, and others), the high quality training provided, and outstanding facilities. Congratulations, outstanding work!
