"Brandy provided a straightforward no-nonsense environment to my CCW renewal class. She is incredibly knowledgeable and as a NRA certified instructor she was able to add further value to my recertification course with a few thoughtful tips at the range. She limits her class size to ensure a safe and attentive environment. I look forward to continuing my firearms training with Brandy as I am confident she will be able to further improve my proficiency."
B.W. says:
"I completed the 8 hour CCW course this week and walked away feeling much better prepared with the the requalification and the added knowledge and skills gained in the process. In no small part due to your exceptional instructor. The material presented during the classroom time was great.
Brandy was very professional, courteous, and she was genuinely interested in understanding my skill level and helping me improve as much as possible within the constraints of the CCW requalification curriculum and time available.
Home Grown Safety is outstanding. Brandy is very knowledgeable and professional. Looks like you've got a winning formula going, don’t change a thing.
I'm looking forward to participating in many more skill building courses and training opportunities."
