Matt is an excellent instructor

“I enjoyed the course. Matt is an excellent instructor, he makes his classes interesting and gets the lessons across. I’ve taken a few classes with PS&Ed and I always come away better for it. I would recommend Matt as an instructor to family and friends. Matt truly lives it and is more than willing to help his students achieve success in training.”

…learned far more than just the Course description.

“Just completed the Basic Range Safety Officer Training Course. I enjoyed the course and learned far more than just the Course description. Matt’s teaching style makes it very easy to learn. Matt keeps all students involved and engaged. I would highly recommend PS&ED to any one looking to Further there firearm education and training. I am looking forward to attending more classes with Matt!! Thank You.” ~ Mike from Clay, NY about our Basic Range Safety Officer Training Course

This was my first ever experience…

“This was my first ever experience with “live pistols & handguns”. I had taken the online course & was eager and excited but at the same time nervous. There was a lot to process and assimilate but Matt showed a high level of knowledge, experience and patience that translated into a comfortable level of confidence for me. He was there for me in every aspect of safety, proper range protocols, loading & unloading my handgun as well as proper stance, sighting & shooting it with a reasonable level of success. I came out of this class with exactly the experiences I wanted to safely handle my handgun in my everyday experience. I would highly recommend this Phase II class to everyone.” ~ Ray from N.
