I did the CCW class with Adam and it was truly a great experience. This was the first time I have shot a gun and they were so extremely patient, kind, attentive and extremely educated with all the information presented. This is sooo recommended for everyone.
Good teacher very candid and informative... No bs
Adam was a great instructor that was extremely helpful and insightful
my dad and i go shooting here regularly. recently went and took my concealed carry class and it was fantastic. chris, the class instructor, was great. he went over everything in detail and took time to help us individually with things we struggled with. the staff is always great. will continue to go to them and take more classes. definitely check them out!
I did my CCW course at the Brunswick location. If I had to do it again I’d never go anywhere else. I feel highly educated and had fun at the same time! Great people, great class !!
Instructors were very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!
I recently completed the Ohio Concealed Carry Course held at Range 42/Norton. Scott is a great trainer giving solid information and very complete answers to many of our questions.Thank you Scott for your enthusiasm and professionalism!
Found a way to make this topic interesting! I enjoyed learning something new and the gentlemen made it fun.
Excellent and in depth classroom. Instructors were very knowledgeable and helpful.
Great time today with Duke and John. Basic handgun/cleaning and maintenance. Both instructors took their time and were extremely patient. Will be back.
Adam did a great job educating the class on the current laws regarding ccw. He also was very patient and helpful during the shooting portion. I highly recommend!
Adam F. was an excellent instructor explained and went over everything very well and made sure everyone understood. Very knowledgeable instructor. Highly recommended.
Absolutely amazing experience. Adam F. and John are fantastic instructors. Recommending them to everyone who is interested in firearm safety/ CCW.
I had a great experience taking my CCW class here! The staff is very knowledgable, and wants to ensure that everyone leaves feeling that all their questions have been answered.On another note, I took this class with my fiancé and personally have had limited exposure to shooting firearms so I was a bit nervous for the range time, but do not fear the instructors are very personable, and provided advice and guidance throughout the process to create a comfortable experience.
Chris and Craig were great instructors
Very helpful and answered all questions that I had.
Excellent CCW course, with well trained instructors.
Amazing left the clasng educated and confident in my shooting ability, Mr. Fronsee is a 10 out of 10 would highly recommend
Great bunch of guys who teach these classes. Class sizes are small and personal. Excellent options for the absolute beginner up to an intermediate level of skill.If you carry a gun daily, want to begin your carry journey, or want to learn the basic principals of safety and fundamentals, these guys do a wonderful job.
This was a great class. Our instructor was amazing and very patient!!! Learned a lot !
CCW class was great!Adam is very knowledgeable and great instructor.
Excellent Instructor (John) for Basic Handgun. Very nice slides, presentation, pace, and range time. Thank you!
Husband and I took the CCW class and the 2 instructors, Adam and John, were awesome! Very knowledgeable, kept us engaged and we learned a lot while making it fun! The class did not seem like it was 8 hrs and we walked away better prepared than when we came in! Highly recommended taking this course, you will not be disappointed! Thanks again...Pat & Monica Barth
Adam and John were super engaging, professional, and knowledgeable instructors. I learned way more from this course than I even expected and feel even more prepared. I will come to them for all future classes and training.
The instructor Adam in the CCW class is very funny and he gives detailed inside of what you can correct to achieve better results with accuracy.
I had a great time! The guys really know what they are talking about. And who doesn’t like some range time?
Adam was an amazing instructor for the CCW class. Recommend for anyone.
Informative class! Knowledgeable instructor.
Highly recommend!
CCW class was very informative and instructor was great. Definitely would recommend.
I took the CCW course with Adam and Craig. They were extremely knowledgeable. They made the course interesting and entertaining with real life experiences and stories.I would seriously recommend anyone who is considering carrying to consider taking this course and get your certification not only for your protection but to understand the new laws and how they apply with and without the CCW.Hats off to Range 42 for creating such an educational and informative program.A special thank you to Chris for having the patience to work with me on the range. I sincerely appreciate the time you took with me to explain things. You definitely made me less nervous. 😊Thank you again!
Instructors are super cool and range is awesome
Took the CHL class with chris as our instructor. Fantastic course with lots of really good knowledge. Chris was an incredible instructor and truly made the experience fun, educational, and professional. Planning on taking more classes and clinics, would 1000% recommend for anyone new to guns or interested in classes.
This experience was excellent. I feel like as long as I keep these fundamentals and with more practice I will be a great/ responsible cleaner
I had a great experience in this class I definitely recommend taking it with Adam or Craig !!
Great learning experience. The teacher was very hands on and informative! Definitely recommend!
Very informative. Instructor was very engaging.
Great experience and instructors were very knowledgeable
Today 4/6/24 my wife Ashley and I travelled almost 2hrs for the Ohio CCW class. Adam and Craig were great. The class was extremely informative and the material delivered in an engaging manner which I appreciate more than I can express. They were honest and the information they shared beyond the class material shows they are truly invested for the betterment of people. This is rare these days. We made it back late this evening and in the morning we will be booking 2 additional classes. We hope we have the same instructors for those. We were asked to provide not just praise but also any feedback they could use to improve the program. This is hard to provide any flaws because I feel it was great. If I could give anything I am nitpicking. My wife and I discussed a lot on our trip home and I can only mention 2 things. The first I don’t know if you can do anything about as I respect the range is a business but it would be limiting the type of firearms others were shooting during the range instruction. The instructors were trying to teach and some guys were going heavy on shotguns and a desert eagle making it impossible to hear instructions. The second item would be to advise students to bring anti-fog safety glasses. This completely skipped my mind as a potential issue. My safety glasses fogged up and it was difficult to see at a point. I should have worn my eye glasses but I was under the impression they weren’t considered eye protection. That was my mistake. I highly recommend booking with Workman for this training.
Did the CFL training with Workman Firearms. The course was very pragmatic and professional, and equipped me with the important knowledge and practice necessary to safely carry and use a firearm.
Very knowledgeable and helpful instructors. They take their time with each and every student and really walk you through the process and responsibilities of having a concealed carry permit.
Adam and Craig were excellent instructors, I had taken a course years ago and the knowledge and skills of these instructors was excellent and very well worth the time and money invested. I look forward to returning for additional advanced training

Highly recommend the Medical Trauma class! The instructor was down to earth and knowledgeable!
What a great class! My son and I had Scott and he was an awesome teacher! Highly recommend taking class here .
Buzz is a WONDERFUL instructor. He was incredibly animated which kept my interest the entire time. There is so much you can learn from his experience and knowledge. All of the other employees were very knowledgeable. Answering any questions with real life experiences and education. I grew up around firearms, and have shot before, yet I learned so much today about laws, handling, types, etc.

HIGHLY recommend their CCW class regardless of your background! There’s always something to learn or refresh.
I Just Took the CCW class at Range 42 with Workman Firearms today .
What a AWESOME CLASS !!!!!!!!!
I recommend this class to everyone . Tom Dillon was-my instructor . He is a fantastic teacher ,
Extremely knowledgeable and made the class fun .
It was a fast 8 hr day and I am so glad I took this class with them . I look forward to more classes with Workman Firearms .
I am not one to make reviews . But this is a great company and deserves it .
I am a veteran and a first responder and I was extremely impressed with their knowledge and experience’s .
Range instructors were also fantastic . They were very knowledgeable and patient and great teachers .
I Will never go anywhere ever again .

Fantastic instructors, knowledgeable, friendly. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Great CHL and Trauma Medical classes. The instructors were qualified and experienced. Better yet... they made learning the material fun. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Adam was a amazing instructor. He is safe, detailed and articulate. Definitely going to take more advanced courses at workman. Amazing staff. Felt comfortable with the one on one instructors for my CHL class. Over all to be honest best range experience I have ever had. Felt comfortable. I would highly recommend there CHL classes to anyone who wants to get one. Awesome prices for there range and classes. Felt as is I could trust any of them with my life. They care about your safety and theirs. In my experience this is one of the safest and polite ranges I have been to.
Buzz was very detailed and thorough during the teaching session. He (and everyone there) were extremely respectful and patient with the students. My trainer in the range was Cheryl, she made me feel SO comfortable and especially confident since she knew it was my first time. Definitely recommend anyone who is interested in taking a CCW class to take it though here!
Went today with my son to the Norton location for our CCW class. The instructor BUZZ was great! Class was informative And well done. The range coach also really put the right instructions where we needed! Thank you!
Buzz my instructor was phenomenal, took the time to go over the material and help the class get full information about gun safety/handling. My shooting instructor Harry, made me comfortable to shoot. By far the best line coach I’ve experienced!!!! Will come back for Harry and Harry only (maybe the desk girls too) THANK YOU BUZZ AND HARRY
Fantastic CCW class.

Our instructor, Tom, was excellent. It's a long class with a ton of information, but Tom kept the class engaged and focused.

My range coach, Dan, was also excellent. He gave me great instruction and feedback during my shooting section.

I will be signing up for other classes here after the great experience of this one.

Note for the CCW class: There is only a 30 minute lunch break (2-3) 5-min breaks throughout so make sure to pack a lunch because there isn't much readily available, and have a drink handy in the classroom 🙂
The one-day CCW class was not only comprehensive, informative, and professional, our instructor Buzz Johnson was funny and engaging without ever losing his laser focus on safety first. The emphasis on safety follows from the classroom to the range time, where you get a 1:1 line instructor to coach you on stance, grip, etc. One other noteworthy aspect—our instructor addressed the unique challenges for concealed body carrying for women and offered some tips on finding resources. I would recommend this course not only to secure a CCW license but for anyone with a firearm who wants to know how to properly handle it.
Renee and I just went to range 42 and shot off 2 clips and we signed up for the family membership and our CCW instructor Tom Dillion was there. He gave me a some ideas why my majority of my shot went to left. Will try next time. Thanks Tom!!!
I would totally recommend this place and workman firearms for all your training needs
Top notch CCW/CHL training.Nick Quella was our instructor and made 9 hour day fly by while being informative and entertaining. Looking forward to taking additional training from this team and highly recommend.
Awesome class with Nick Quella! Very knowledgeable and made the day go so quickly. Love the one on one instruction. John was so helpful and really fixed my grip. I’ll be signing up for the Pistol Diagnostics to continue with my learning!
The instructors are fantastic and make the class very interesting!Adam was great and my range coach was wonderful!
Absolutely amazing. Would recommend their service to anyone.
I took the CHL class yesterday and the class instructor Tom was very knowledgeable and my shooting instructor Adam was awesome and corrected my shooting when I needed it. I highly recommend going to take the class at this location.
Thank you so much for being patient with me and teaching me the proper stance and hold so I can defend myself and my family! I would highly recommend you to friends and family!
I took the CHL/CCW class from Chris Rudy this past Saturday. He's a really excellent instructor, personable & informative. The hours just flew by. Highly recommended.
Jason Soco was our classroom instructor today. He held a very interesting course with a lot of good information.
As a testament to how well he did, I am someone who can doze off 10 minutes into most anyone talking. I am proud to say I was alert and interested the entire class. I also was surprised how quick time passed.
Great job!
Adam was my range instructor and helped me to zero in on the target. Basically he was also a great instructor.
you can't go wrong with these instructors.
Loved this training - would definitely recommend attending. Trainers Nick and Cheryl were great. Left feeling very knowledgeable and comfortable with the material and guns. Nick was incredibly well informed and shared lots of stories that made the material more relatable.
Just took the class today and I learned a lot! The guys are very informative and thorough. I needed a handgun class for dummies and I felt I got it kudos to Adam who was my line coach because I was a nervous wreck and scared shitless. Just recommended them to my parents and I want my girls to take their class also.
Good instructors, they keep you engaged in the class
