TESTIMONIALS
“The handgun class I took with David Maglio was AMAZING! I learned so much in just a few hours! The safety instruction was very informative, and made me feel secure with my firearm. This beginner course was a great introduction to handgun etiquette. I am excited to take a more specialized course in the future!” - SOPHIA S.
“David is second to none. The classes and instruction have been incredibly helpful. His facilities allow for a wide range of training circumstances, which is dramatically better than a standard “range”. If you’re looking for someone who not only teaches, but can execute everything he speaks to, look no further.” - BARRY F.
“David is easily one of the finest instructors I've had the pleasure of learning from. His ability to articulate concepts in understandable terms cannot be understated. His technique of teaching allows student to easily learn, as well as giving theM the tools to self diagnose issues as they come up.” - JONATHAN B.
