I took The AFT Basic Pistol Course in June 2022. I was nervous because I thought I would be the only woman, but the class was diverse. We spent the first day learning about safety and various aspects of gun handling down to taking one apart and learning how to clean it. Also, we learned about gun etiquette and concealed carry insurance. Tom and Chuck were friendly, knowledgeable, and broke things down so everyone could understand. The second day we went to the range and we were able to shoot various guns with 4 different instructors. It was nice to get tips from instructors with varying backgrounds (military, law enforcement, etc). They made the class fun, but safety was always the first priority. There were students that had many years of experience with gun handling and some with none at all, but everyone walked away feeling more knowledgeable. This class is worth the time and money. Take the course!

I’m someone who was wary of firearms due to both the stereotypes associated with them and the unsafe manner in which I’ve seen them handled. That being said, due to certain circumstances, I finally decided that I needed to start carrying a firearm to protect myself and my family, but not before I was comfortable with them. Upon entering the classroom I was nervous and concerned I may not retain everything necessary to feel safe around firearms. That was put to rest quickly by Mr. Mulheron’s kind and inviting nature. The class continued and I felt more confident with each hour, as Instructor Tom Mulheron was an incredible teacher. He’s thorough, highly informative and deadly serious about safety. In other words everything I was looking for. I want to especially thank Tom and Chuck for their academic yet comforting approach to handling such a serious subject. After taking the class I now feel confident with the knowledge I’ve retained and of being around firearms.
I can’t thank them enough and I would recommend anyone, whether first time gun owner or just someone who’s just never been properly taught how to handle a firearm safely, to at least take the Basic Pistol Training course. It could save your life and those you love by teaching you how to be safe, responsible and confident with your firearms
