Why do I need to take the gun cleaning class?

"Alan and I both enjoyed the class. Alan found a loose screw on his revolver that would not have shown up until too late if he had not taken part in the class!

And he learned not to oil the barrel. Those are the exact reasons he wanted to take the class to see what new info he could learn.

And for me, it took all the intimidation out of taking apart the guns and cleaning them. Jesse is great. Not many gunsmiths would make the effort to teach us all those details.
Thank you for offering the class too".

.45 ACP v .357 MAG?

A 125 gr, JHP .357 round travels at 1600 f/s and delivers 710 ft*lbs of energy. A 165 gr, JHP .45 round travels at 1060 f/s and delivers 559 ft*lbs of energy. The .45 round is much bigger, but the .357 is faster (while still being a large bullet) and in the world of ballistics velocity is king.

Meet Kate....Student of the Month for March

She Rides....She Hikes....She Shoots
First and foremost, thank you Vicki for choosing me! But I must say the real credit goes to you! I have only become the gun loving, toting woman I am today because of you! When I called to inquire about the Introduction to Handguns class, your enthusiasm and friendliness was so infectious that my nervousness and intimidation were completely eased and I couldn’t wait to take your class.

With the recent economic challenges our society is facing, there seems to be an increase in crime which has caused me to start thinking about my personal safety. I always feel safe when my German Shepherds are with me but you can’t take dogs everywhere and I’ve often wished I had a gun with me then. So when the uproar began about gun owners’ rights last year, I began to seriously start thinking about it.

As a lot of women, I grew up a girly girl, I even danced ballet for fifteen years. I was raised to be afraid of guns and had never even touched one until Vicki’s introduction class. Throughout my life, I’ve learned that most of my fears are based on a lack of knowledge. As they say, knowledge is key.

Much to my mother’s dismay, later in life I bought a motorcycle. It was something I had always been interested in but never knew where to begin. At that time, I found a class teaching how to ride and basic defensive riding techniques. I have since developed a huge passion for motorcycles, racing, and racetracks. This new hobby, which I previously thought wasn’t “allowed” for girls, gave me confidence that I didn’t know I had. I believe that confidence is what helped me to initially pick up the phone and call Vicki.

Now instead of being afraid to touch a gun, I love them and I look forward to go and practice shooting with my husband. It truly is empowering and confidence inspiring to have the knowledge of how guns work and how to use them safely. I am more confident knowing that I can protect myself and my family if the situation ever arises.
