Wow, what a deal. Sign up quick folks.

[EagleDefense]

Registration will open in a few weeks.

I don't have my own fancy office or building (other then my living room) and I have a full time job so I don't have to worry about paying my bills with these classes hence the classes being priced the way they are.

Sometimes people like to confuse price for quality ;-)

Me and my husband just want to give a big THANK YOU to James and Garrett for an awesome weekend class!! Not only was it a very informative class but it was one of the funnest classes we have ever be to! Day 1 in the classroom was a success, James went over a ton of information but made it fun and kept the whole class focused. Day 2 was a wet one but was still awesome! James and Garrett went over more safety information before we hit the range. They were both so helpful and patient with everyone on different levels. We learned so much in just a day from them. They are both amazing teachers and great men!! We cant wait for our next class with them!!!! 🔫🔫🔫🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Just wanted to give James and Garrett A++ training !!!! FYI I don't get any discounts or freebies from these guys. I paid in full and it was worth every penny.( Day 1 )was great James covered all the fun stuff regarding CA laws and what you as a responsible gun owner should know . I was glad James and Garrett brought some humor followed along with a great personality which makes the class less dull and keeps everyone in tuned.(Day 2) James and Garrett went over safety ,gear,safety,safety and more safety before we hit the range . Before going (hot)" live fire" we did lots of practice drills and fundamentals of proper firearm handling big thumbs up !!!both instructors were very patient with new shooters to pro shooters. Rain or shine guys and gals so gear up accordingly. I'm glad we got the opportunity to train in the rain because bad guys won't care if its raining or shining. Please don't hesitate to ask these guys any questions there real people and real instructors that know what there doing. I definitely will be taken more classes with these guys again big thanks for an awesome weekend!!! Best regards - Joseph k

Great guys and very informative training, really happy I took this class. Day 1 was the classroom portion and it was educational and it was entertaining. The instructor did a great job explaining the legalities and responsibilities of carrying a firearm, and kept the class enjoyable. Day 2 was range time. The instructors gave good tips on what gear to buy and what to avoid. The shooting was fun, and I was able to learn a lot since the instructors were able to keep it short and simple. We were able to practice 50 rounds before qual, and it allowed for me to get mentally prepared before the actual qualification. Overall, the course was really fun and I learned some things I had never even thought about. I'm a self taught shooter who has been shooting for almost 2.5 years and James and Garrett were able to teach me even more techniques to improve my shooting skill. The drills that were given were simple and appropriate for this level of class, James and Garrett both did a great job teaching all the course materials while still being able to give a good amount of 1 on 1 time to the people who needed it. The instructors were great guys and they were effective teachers who will be able to help you improve your own skills while gaining new knowledge about the responsibilities of carrying a firearm. I will definitely go back to this class for my recertification.

I also recommend James at Eagle Defense. Took your class sometime in late 2014 and enjoyed the class, had fun, and appreciated the reasonableness of your fees.

I just took one of James class a few weeks ago and it was awesome. (You can't beat training in the middle of a rain storm.)
He knows his stuff and is great at answering any questions that you may have. I wouldn't go anywhere else and will do all future pistol courses with him.
I recommend his class to anyone out there looking to do their CCW initial training course, CCW renewal or just looking to get more hands on pistol training.

Thanks James!

[harbinger007]

I was there with you, Xeng. That was some rainstorm!

I've taken classes with 3 others and I enjoy the fact that James just sticks to business without bringing a big ego along with him.

James just posted a bunch more classes on his Facebook page which is were he's focusing his advertising.

[Xeng]

Hi harbinger007. It was nice meeting you and yes, training in the rain is awesome.

I will definitely sign up for James' s course again in 2 years.
