We took the CCW class Nov. 23, 2024 at Range 42 in Norton. Adam was the instructor.A little brash, which I appreciate, but also quite knowledgeable, thorough, and generally a great experience.I'd heard various descriptions of other classes over the years, most of which were adequate at best. Adam's class went, in my opinion, above and beyond, as well as explanations of why he went above and beyond. The good, the bad, and some ugly.Adam took a bit more time than expected on the range, live fire, with my sweetheart, at my request. This bit of time, to me, was worth the entire cost of the class. Above, and beyond.This particular class is highly recommended, whether one has never held a firearm before, a relatively new shooter like my Lady, or with some years ( decades ? ) behind, like myself.An old dog can learn new tricks !My only caveat would be to take extensive notes ! There is a tremendous amount of information presented. Far more than my one still functioning brain cell can absorb in the time available.Six stars, if google would allow.Worth it, even if one has no plans to ever carry, concealed or otherwise.
Very detailed and great class. Great instructors. Adam was great!
The CCW course was a great and informational time! The course was great, Adam was a great instructor, and I feel very comfortable handling my firearm.
Great class. Very informative. Adam is a great instructor and the class time flew bye. Instructors in the range took their time to correct and teach proper form and technique. Recommend to all.
Instructors and staff were very patient with beginners and meet the needs of all experience levels. They also take safety very seriously, which is very reassuring
My Husband and I went to the Norton location. Adam was our instructor, he was amazing. He explained everything and answered everyone's question in great detail. Experience level does not matter, he helped everyone equally. Great experience, can't wait to take more classes with the company.
Absolutely fantastic, very informative, I've been shooting for well over 20 years and this class helped me quickly correct a few bad habits already.
Great class and interactive. Can ask questions when needed as it is being taught as things come up. Very kind and understanding staff
Awesome thank you
This class was very fun, I went with my father and we had an excellent time. The teacher and service was great. Great Experience I recommend
The class was great. We had a very good group of people and Adam our instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful he made the class seem to be alot less time then it actually was. I would recommend them for any class that you have been thinking about it is always beneficial to learn new things.
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 Iโ€™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 fiancรฉ 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 doesnโ€™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!
Great company, Great investors, it's only when a company serves her investors with truthfulness and reliability that it may produce great investors. This awesome company has been making thousands of people millionaires every year according to the company's info. At first I doubted, but at a point I decided to give them a trial and here I am now sharing my testimony. You too can benefit from this same company from anywhere around the world, you only have to contact one of the company manager person like Mrs. Kirkland Tina to help you grow your investment capital within a week, Contact her via Email:[email protected]

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! Thereโ€™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 experienceโ€™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.
Jason was an amazing instructor. I would recommend any of there classes. I myself attended the ccw class with Jason and the knowledge I walked out with was awesome. I was so not looking forward to sitting in class 6 hrs but because the way Jason taught it felt like I was there for an hour. I was actually bummed when it was over, I wanted more lol! I also want to give a shot out to the range instructors. They do an amazing job! Thanks Jason & team!
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 Iโ€™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 ๐Ÿ™‚
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 aspectโ€”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. Iโ€™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.
