"Every aspect of the class was articulated and taught better than any college professor i've ever seen."
"I really appreciated the time you took with me and the other gal in our class, letting us try each of the handguns you had, and your patience in teaching us to shoot. I didn't feel awkward being such a beginner because of your patience. I also appreciated your opinion in choosing a handgun. (I did purchase the Taurus PT111, and am getting quite good at shooting it. I outscore my boyfriend every time we go to the range.) Thanks for giving me the confidence to learn to protect myself."

"Andrew's class is very beneficial and covers every aspect you could possibly want to learn about handguns. If [a topic] is not originally set in the curriculum, he is more then happy to include it if you have questions about it. His class is for the person who wants to learn, not the person that just wants to take the class and get the permit as quick as possible."
