I took my PAL with Matt as someone who was new to firearms. The course was excellent! It was so well organized, and Matt is incredibly personable and knowledgeable about firearms and hunting. Matt made sure I had a strong understanding which put me in a position where I could continue to learn to shoot and hunt safely. When my kids are ready to get their firearms licence, I will definitely be seeking a course with Matt.

His knowledge and experience is deep, and Matt is happy to share all he knows as he answers questions and guides you through the courses. He always encourages questions and ensured that I was clear and fully understood all the material.. I couldn’t recommend his courses more to anyone looking to learn and get a better understanding of firearms ownership, safety, and hunting.
