Excellent instruction! I took the Intro to Practical Pistol course and really enjoyed it. I learned so much more about stance, hand position, aim and safety. Just going to a shooting range is not enough. You really need expert instruction on how to use a firearm. All 3 instructors are excellent and you get a lot of one-on-one instruction. I definitely left more confident than when I started. I can't wait to take another class. I highly recommend.

Yesterday, I participated in the Women's-only Introduction to Defensive Pistol training. Having previously done some target practice, becoming more comfortable with our family's firearms is important to me. Like most of the women, I was anxious about what to expect . . . but couldn't have had a better experience! Kathryn was the Lead Instructor and Jim (Owner) and George shared facilitation roles for all the participants. The content was informative and moved quickly, but in digestible sections. The Instructors rotated one-on-one with each individual to strongly reinforce the fundamentals of stance, grip and approach exactly correct. The were patient, professional, fun and fostered a relaxed environment for learning, mistakes and correction. Plus, we had lots of time to actually shoot at targets! All the ladies remarked that they intend to continue to pursue more training with Cajun Arms and hope to do it as a cohort. Great day - thanks Cajun Arms team! -Diana

Just finished the Intro to Defensive Pistol class with Jim, Kathryn, and George. What a fantastic experience. The class structure was well organized, informative, and moved at a perfect pace. The instructors provided both group and individual teaching, allowing for a personalized experience. Additionally, the student to instructor ratio (8:3) allowed for one-on-one instruction that helped students to improve more quickly throughout the class. To say I would highly recommend Jim and his team is an understatement, and I will be taking another defensive pistol class in March. -Kevin
