It was a great class, this renewal class was better than my original class that I took for my CCW, class was a lot more informative and great hands on training that you just don’t get in other groups, Great instructor friendly works with you and so knowledgeable any problems or questions you have he can answer and help you fix I really enjoyed this class.

Paco “instructor” was amazing throughout the entire process! Couldn’t ask for better. Not only the support throughout the class, but the helping hand throughout the entire deal to the end. I highly recommend Paco and Sanger firearms for anyone seeking CCW!

Great course and very detailed to say the least. You have the opportunity to review questions and retake tests if necessary. Paco also assist with questions and techniques from his vast knowledge with firearms. Paco is a very dedicated person that takes you into areas and explains in detail what you need to know. He's a great mentor and friend. I encourage you to select a great instructor like Paco. He knows his subjects and topics very well.

"The program that is offered to Renew a CCW is great. First off the information that is given to fully understand the entire purpose and skill to possess a firearm to defend yourself and your family while at an outing is outstanding. Secondly, the process to complete the training is amazing, you can complete it at your own pace and your own time that is available to you. And lastly, Paco is an informative instructor and very professional, this was hands down the best experience I had when needing to complete my Renewal course for my CCW. I fully recommend this business as I will now be a customer for life. Thanks again Paco!! #2A #Merica"

"First off I want to thank Franscico for offering an informative class as well as affordable. I learned a lot of good information that I didn’t know before attending. His class helped me understand the importance of safety when owning a firearm. I learned about the “4 Cardinal Rules Of Firearms Safety” and these rules can make a difference from being safe or unsafe. It makes you think twice when handling a firearm for your safety and others. I also learned about “The Seven Elements Of Pistol Marksmanship” with practice this can make you an overall better shooter but it takes practicing. He also spoke about applying these elements to a “Dot Torcher” target to become effective and efficient when it comes to understanding your firearm. With that he talked about “Handgun Shot Group Analysis Target” to give you a general idea to why your target might be off when firing. I felt like it was helpful to know because then you can understand what you need to do to correct your shot. After learning all of these key points we put it to the test with “Dry Firing” to apply everything he talked about as a group and observe one another to help correct any mistakes we might have seen to support each in our overall growth in firearm safety. Overall I had a good experience, he took his time to explain his knowledge and answer any questions i had. So if you have any questions don’t be scared to ask because it could be the difference in making the right decision when it comes to firearms or firearm safety. He offered a lot of good information these are just a few key points I took away from his class to help me and I couldn’t be anymore appreciative of his knowledge! So if I was you I would take his class if you’re looking into firearms and want to know more."

"The class experience itself was a lot more fun and hands on as i expected. I assumed it was going to be "book and presentation". It was a complete opposite, We had Paco walking us through the lessons and giving us a visual (Him physically showing us the correct way to clear a firearm, making sure we are intentional with where we point the barrel of the firearm (like if it was a live round), making sure our personal grip was good and secure along with our stance. What a well organized class, and PACO just made it more fun and assured us with his experience that it is ok to be a little nervous practicing with a firearm and let alone shooting a firearm at the range. He made sure everyone in the class was engaged and answered any question we asked. 100% !! recommend to any one that just want to know the basics to take this class!"
