I have taken multiple rifle and pistol courses in my Army career. They were all high quality and great learning experiences, however the courses taught by Mark and the Instructors at Patriot Defense Training were the best overall training I have ever taken. The instructors are passionate about what they teach and care that the students get the best possible training. They will work hard and stay late to make sure the students get the absolute most they can from the course. Comparable courses would cost 5-10 times the cost as those offered at Patriot Defense Training. The training environment has a wide range of learning opportunities with dozens of metal targets and multiple ranges that go as far out as a mile. They do not rest on their laurels, the curriculum is constantly evolving to best meet the needs of the students. I learned an incredible amount with each course I took. I could not recommend the courses any higher. I would not continue to attend these courses if I did not feel they were worth my time and money. I encourage all of my friends to attend so that they can grow their skills and challenge themselves.

I have attended various levels of classes offered by Patriot Defense Training for over 3 years. Some of the classes I have attended more than once because they were outstanding classes. I have always learned something new in every single class and then been able to apply that knowledge on the range and in the field. The instructor knowledge base is very impressive extending from that of high end civilian recreational shooting to former military and law enforcement tactical applications. The value of attending the classes taught by Patriot Defense Training far exceeds the price of admission.
