Starting over at 56 was one of the craziest decisions I have made in recent years; everyone told me I lost my mind & am making a terrible mistake . Thanks to Mr. Theodore Simester my journey has begun. His meticulous preparation & teaching technique in the classroom & at the firing range eased my anxiety & left me wanting to learn more. I know now that I am going to get better at the proper use of firearms due to his instruction & am looking forward to further training in the future. Now that concealed carry is the law of the land, take advantage of your rights and give Mr. Simester a call. Joseph Panepinto

Theo was very knowledgeable and friendly. The class was more than I expected which was great. I've been shooting for 5 years and didn't know all the technical names for everything about handguns. It was an awesome class. The class material was professional and written clearly. Would recommend this class to all new and old shooters.

Most of the stuff was good, my trainer were aware when I was shooting and even asked if he should film a video for me, so I would have something to remember it by, which is nice. Only two bad things is that he spoke a bit too fast for me to cacth everything and I had to wait between shooting because he had another client he had to deal with. But nothing that removes a star :)

Reply from The OA Firearms & Survival Training LLC 2024.11.27

Thank you, Christian! We're glad you enjoyed the experience and the thoughtful gesture of your trainer. We'll work on pacing communication better and managing time more effectively for future sessions. Your feedback helps us improve!
