What Students Are Saying
Awesome and knowledgeable crew!! Enjoyed my first Advanced AR 15 Marksmanship class with them!
I had an awesome time at the AR advanced course. I’ve been shooting for years but now feel so much more comfortable with an AR. The instructors are great and work with you a your skill level. I definitely recommend this to anyone who owns an AR.
Well done by the team of Veterans from Integrity Firearms Training Center! You guys did a great job passing along your years of experience.
I had a great time at the class this weekend and really found some areas where I need some improvement. Thanks for all your hard work.
The training and round count for this class is something that I did not experience even when I was in the service!
