Liam O'CallaghanAugust 25, 2024John Kolis is an excellent firearms instructor. I took the basic firearms training course with him. He is not only engaging and informative, but quite humorous, which keeps the class entertaining. We did a dry fire session, then a live fire portion which was great. He gave solid feedback in the moment to improve my technique.Kara DecasAugust 23, 2024I highly recommend firearms instruction with John Kolis. He is very knowledgeable and his instruction style is professional yet fun. It's obvious he is passionate about his craft and he will patiently answer all your questions.Karen KaplanAugust 6, 2024Engaging, informative, patient and very valuable!Orlando CelaJune 6, 2024Mr. Kolis is an excellent instructor. He is extremely knowledgeable about firearms from practical, historical, and legal perspectives. He had plenty of handouts and audiovisual devices that made for a thorough and comprehensive presentation. Safety was at the core of his training practice, and he takes time to insure that the students can properly handle a firearm before progressing to live ammo; by the time we moved to the range, we were prepared and confident - and even at the range, Kolis is meticulous about proper firearms handling. In short, an excellent experience. I highly recommend taking classes with Mr. Kolis. Will be back for sure!Edward PavlotskyJune 2, 2024My girlfriend and I took John Kolis's private firearms training course and it was great! John makes firearms training a pleasant experience while still conveying the importance of safety and awareness for present and future gun owners. John's course has a classroom portion, a live-firing portion, and a test which upon completion you receive your Basic Firearms Safety Certificate. He is passionate about what he does and extremely knowledgable. 3 hours flew by like it was 10 minutes and we would've stayed longer to learn more if it was time permitting. I would recommend John's course to anybody looking for firearms safety training/use and especially to those looking to obtain their license to carry. Thank you John and we will be seeing you again soon at the range!Ailen BilharzMay 31, 2024Working with John is like learning from a longtime friend. He is practical and knowledgeable. You instantly feel at ease and safe under his watch. No arrogance, no judgment- just quality training. His air of confidence mixed with his positive coaching technique provides you with the comforts you need to confidently practice. Highly recommend John!Seth FreedmanMay 11, 2024John was instructive and entertaining. Helpful personal anectodes and real-world experience garnish the base information provided in this course. I would highly recommend John's services to anyone seriously interested in making shooting a fun and safe recreation.john smithMay 2, 2024I cant say enough good about this program and book. As an author, I can appreciate what it takes to put together a good book. The quality of the text, construction, and images makes this a great range bag addition.Diane SwerlingApril 16, 2024John is amazing. Very knowledgeable and patient. I highly recommend him!Nicholas PerniceApril 16, 2024I needed training for some upcoming work and John was an excellent teacher. He was thorough and patient with me, a novice, and he also helped me understand all the important safety concerns. He even taught about the history and background of each different firearm. I believe I received an excellent foundation and introduction to pistols and I would highly recommend him as an instructor, whether you are a novice like me or experienced.Load more
