I took the CCW class with Adam and it was great. He is incredibly knowledgeable and made sitting through 6 hours of classroom learning not horrible. I had Chris for the qualification part and he was awesome. He made me feel less nervous immediately and I left way more comfortable. I learned a lot and feel a lot more confident. Highly recommend!

Good classroom instruction. Adam was knowledgeable and open to questions and discussion. Great range instruction. Only negative, which is being addressed soon, is AC in the classroom. Recommend the class.

Took my CCW class with John Wilson at Range 42 yesterday. He was great. Loved how much he emphasized the importance of understanding not just gun stuff, but how to assess situations and determine the right choice. On the firearms side, in 15-20 minutes with him on the range he helped me improve my accuracy with better gun grip and breathing techniques.

I took the CCW class with Adam, and he was a phenomenal instructor. He kept the class interesting and was very patient with me at the range. Adam put safety first and really made you feel comfortable around a firearm. I didn’t love the insurance salesman they brought in, as he came off a bit pushy, but he did not work for Workman. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would recommend Adam to anyone looking to take the CCW class!
