Mike is awesome to work with and has a lot to offer between his range, classroom, and experience in training. Would recommend for all levels of experience.
Mike and Karen are very patient with the inexperienced shooter. They present the information in a clear, logical manner and provide time for the newbie to become comfortable and able to digest their instructions. I’ll be taking more of their classes.
This is my first time taking this class. I had fun and learned a lot about ccl in this class. I will be going back soon I hope. Keep up with the good work and I enjoy my self there and thank you and your wife for being so friendly.
Class was great and both Mike and Karen are knowledgeable and friendly will be taking more classes in the future
Great training! I’ve been shooting many years but have never had the chance to learn proper technique. Mike does a great job of telling “why” the fundamentals are best done in specific ways. It was eye opening and even though I have a long way to go, I made some significant improvement in my shooting. Thanks!
Mike and Karen run a first class operation. They are very in tune to safety and they know their stuff and confidently teach it. They listen and respond to questions to be sure you understand what you are doing and why. I will be back! Unqualified recommendation!!!!
Mike is an amazing instructor! He opened my eyes to several things that I had never really thought of. I consider myself to be an experienced shooter but Mike really had me thinking! His indoor laser range makes training much more comfortable and more cost effective. He did an excellent job helping fix some of the bad habits I had coming in. I would recommend all shooters new or life long to check out his range and see what training he has offered. It’s great to have something like this where we’re at in a more rural part of Arkansas!
Mike and Karen are both very professional and patient with us newbies. My wife and I really didn’t know much and we weren’t very comfortable with firearms, but after about 20 minutes with them, we were both feeling 100 times better. They took the time to make sure we knew we were safe and then we were able to concentrate and learn. They have a way of explaining things that really make sense. After we were comfortable, we had a blast! I never knew shooting could be so fun. I would highly recommend them. We will definitely be back to continue our training. Thank you Mike and Karen. Your knowledge is very impressive.
This is the best conceal carry class I have taken. Mike covered the material in depth and gave great real life applications. it was a bargain price for top quality instruction. Mike was great to stop the class and answer questions. He also presented difficult situations that was cloudy but he provide a clear reasoning solution. Don’t waste your time anywhere else go to Independence Firearms and Training
I have both trained and competed with Mike and Karen for about the last 1.5 years. They are both exceptional competition shooters as well as trainers. Mike has a great way of analyzing a person’s shooting abilities and giving them the proper guidance and direction to train and practice. I am very appreciative of all the support and training I have received from them that has improved my skill set.
I had an excellent time at Independence Firearms and Training LLC. I attended the National Train a Teacher Day training. I completed the training for Video Scenario Self Defense Class. This class was an excellent class for anyone to take and really got me to thinking about how to react in a potential crisis. Mike and Karen are awesome at what they do and I would highly recommend anyone to take any of the classes that they offer. I will we returning to take more classes.
Great place for everyone…from beginners up to highly trained. Mike and Karen are top notch, and have the nicest range anywhere around. Mike’s instruction will leave you with more confidence, better skills and better body form. Safety comes first and they leave nothing to chance. Fantastic place to have a birthday party with their laser range. Independence County is blessed to have them! Fun fun fun!
This is a great place to get some in depth, great training, and conceal carry license. Very knowledgeable instructors, and they spare nothing on shooter safety. The types of classes/training they can give is unrivaled by any place I’ve seen or heard of. I will most definitely be back for further training and classes.. Would highly recommend to any level gun/self defense enthusiasts.
Great class that was simplified down the “meat and potatoes”. No fluff, only the important information thats explained clearly as can be. Would recommend this class to anyone looking for a concealed carry license!
Great People. Great Range. Very Knowledgeable. Very Safety Conscious When Handling Firearms. I Would Highly Recommend For All Training Needs.
My coworkers and I all had a great time and learned a lot at the National Train a Teacher training this past weekend. I would recommend this facility and staff for any and all gun training you may want or need!
Wow this place is amazing!! I am not comfortable with guns at all and Mike walked me through every step and showed me proper ways to do things. I will definitely be taking more classes. I was impressed!!
Great coaching with respect to the shooter Mike and Karin do a great job of taking time to be sure that the fundamentals are learned the proper way. Great Place!
