I want to start by expressing my sincere gratitude to Paula for such an incredible training experience. From the moment I inquired about the class, Paula was communicative, informative, and took the time to answer all of my questions. Her professionalism and the safety-first approach of her and her team were evident throughout the course.

Not only did I learn how to safely handle a firearm, but Paula also made the class engaging and enjoyable. She has a unique ability to adjust her teaching style to ensure that everyone, regardless of experience, was able to follow along and grasp the material.

I’m already looking forward to taking another class with Paula in the near future. If you’re considering taking a training class, I highly recommend this one. Paula and her team truly made it a memorable and valuable experience. Thank you again!!!

Paula, Katie and Doug are incredible! 2 of us took the beginning handgun course and only have positive things to say. From booking to the class to actually taking it Paula was extremely responsive and informative. She worked with our schedule and answered all my questions before hand.

The class itself taught us how to be more comfortable with firearms and how to properly use them. There were 7 of us in the class and I felt like I always had one of the three instructors right by my side. I also felt safe at all times. We are looking forward to going back and taking more courses!

I had a very empowering day learning to use a handgun at ADE! I took the Beginner Combat Handgun class with Paula, who was patient and fun - but also very firm on safety which I appreciated. By the end of the class I felt very confident I could safely handle a gun and look forward to more training!

Excellent! The fantastic instruction from Paula combined with the professionalism, encouragement and patience she displayed throughout the day made this course extremely enjoyable. She allows time for questions and makes sure you have a clear understanding of what she's teaching.

I am so happy I made the decision to take the Combat Handgun 1 course with American Defense Enterprises. I am looking forward to another lesson. I recommend ADE 100% to anyone who is considering taking a course with them!

Paula and the whole team were amazing instructors. I hadn't shot in a long while and they provided a safe and engaging training program. Class size was small and there were multiple instructors. Content was top-notch and the shoothouse was very unique. Not just standing around and talking. Highly recommend.

Excellent experience! Paula and team were able to answer all of my questions and instruct me confidently and in a manner that was constructive and kind, while at the same time to the point and carrying the seriousness of learning how to properly handle firearms and be able to protect myself and others. After the 3-hour course, I feel well equipped with the knowledge and skills to use a firearm. I am looking forward to returning to get some practice in and continue to take more advanced courses (and to have some fun training with my friends)! Highly recommend for anyone out there that is interested. This is the place to go.

As a first time shooter I was impressed on the instruction I received in the beginner course.  Paula and Katie are the lead instructors with 2 other assistant instructors, their knowledge is impressive.

You can tell when someone is highly knowledgeable in their craft by the way that it's taught and the student can comprehend and execute instruction as it was in this case for firearms safety and shooting.

I highly recommend American Defense Enterprises to learn the most up to date basic combative tactics in firearms.  You will leave the course with first-class fundamentals.

I could only imagine how much more I will learn in the following courses that proceed.

We are completely novice and just completed a handgun training session with ADE. As complete novices were a bit nervous, but having completed the training, we highly recommend this company for the following reasons:

- They are highly professional & experienced
- It is a safe and controlled learning environment and they are very safe during instruction
- They are very knowledgeable, take time and are thorough in their explanations
- Paula, Operations Manager, was extremely communicative from our initial inquiry training to post-training questions and followup.

We will be doing more training with ADE!
