Testimonials
Instructors are exceptional at handling beginners and advanced shooters all at the same time. Regardless of shooter ability, all three instructors were excellent at fixing problems, improving skills, and getting the best performance out of each shooter.
Instructors are Exceptional with Beginners
My Gunsite 250 pistol experience was life changing! The instructors make the school… the support staff is first rate and the facilities are tops! I came to Gunsite through the generosity of Mrs. Cooper and her daughters, as a Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation Scholarship recipient. I will be back because the training I received may well save lives, possibly my own. Gunsite and the legacy of Colonel Cooper has inspired me to enroll in the municipal police officer training program, at fifty years of a…

When we examined the bull, I found that my first shot took him about a third of the way up the shoulder, in line with the front leg. The second hit him a bit higher in the other shoulder. The entrance from the first bullet and the exit from the second were about 6 inches apart. I credit my shooting to your instruction followed by a good deal of serious practice. You taught me what to expect and how to handle it. All I had to do was keep my head and not do something stupid. The four months of pre…

Gunsite was a fantastic learning experience as well as team building opportunity. I was amazed at how much I learned and how much more comfortable I am shooting and handling my M&P. I feel the trip enhanced my skills and will make me more authoritative in my presentation to both dealers and consumers.
Gunsite was a fantastic learning experience
Since we were traveling extensively in a motor home the staff recommend that the shotgun may be the preferred defensive weapon for our situation. So, we decided to stay for a second week and take the 260 Shotgun Class. The 250 Pistol Class made the 260 Shotgun Class easier since we were familiar with the facility and the class format. Both the pistol and shotgun were to be used together in this class. Again, the staff recommended which type and gage of shotgun we should use. As in the pistol cla…
Traveling in a motor home.
I am writing to offer my thanks and appreciation for the fine job that your entire staff did last week for the Gunsite 270 rifle course. Mike Moore is one of the most outstanding instructors I have had the privilege to train with, he was extremely knowledgeable, and presented the material in an easy to learn and practice method. Walt Wilkenson is a true asset to Gunsite and I couldn’t imagine training at Gunsite without Walt there, he also is an extremely knowledgeable and outstanding instructor…

The greatest strengths were the instructors. Linguists say there are more than 5000 languages and dialects in the world. If I were to write down all the words such as “superlative” and “excellent” and “marvelous” in all those languages that would still be inadequate to describe the skill and helpfulness of all the instructors. I appreciate all the hidden work performed by the support staff as well.

When I first attended a class at Gunsite my boyfriend at the time said I want to give you a class at Gunsite for your vacation. I said I wanted to go to Hawaii. He promised to take me to Hawaii if I took my 250 Class at Gunsite. Upon graduation from my 250 pistol class I now longer wanted to go to Hawaii but wanted to take my next class at Gunsite. I eventually went to Hawaii but not before I was a well trained pistolero.
When I first came to gunsite
The 250 Pistol Class was our first in depth encounter with a hand gun. Not knowing which type and caliber of pistol would be best for us we did not purchase anything before arriving. The staff recommended the correct rental equipment for our needs. The instructors had decades of professional experience in the military, law enforcement, or both. They eagerly shared their personal backgrounds and individual experiences. They were patient and attentive. They monitored our every movement. Safety w…
Confidence Builder
This is essentially my first shooting experience and I entered the course with high anxiety. The instructors were incredibly calm and patient and I’m leaving with zero anxiety about carrying and/or shooting a loaded pistol.
