Today I participated in the TAC Intro to Pistols course. We had a small class of 3 and that was perfect. I had a 380 I had shot before and a 9mm I had never shot. Most importantly, I wanted to ensure I knew how to handle my weapon safely, knew how to maintain it and gain confidence and skill in how to use it. This class delivered! Range time and instruction was awesome. I started nervous but excited and finished feeling confident and safe. I came home and cleaned both of my weapons now that I know what to do. Thanks again! I'll be looking at other class offerings!

Lewis and Kim are two of the best people that you could possibly meet. The class was presented in a very professional and safe manner. From the minute that you walk in the classroom they make you feel comfortable and confident. They not only teach you but also support and encourage you. I am excited about taking some more classes at Take Aim Carolina and look forward to taping into the wealth of knowledge that Lewis and Kim possess.

CCH Common Sense delivery at a student driven pace Yes Everything about the class was first rate. Kim and Lewis followed up impeccably both in addressing my questions during the sign up process and providing the pre-class information package in a timely fashion. Lewis presents a ton of information in a very genuine manner seamlessly relating complicated concepts to real world situations. Safety is the platform upon which all the instruction is anchored. Both the inexperienced and the seasoned shooter can gain an increased appreciation for the importance of safety in all aspects oh handgun ownership. The classroom setting was excellent, fellow students were terrific and Kim made sure everything ran to schedule and that we were comfortable with the venue. One last comment. I was not a first time shooter but I left the range (wonderful facilities by the way) a much better marksman due to Lewis making adjustments to my grip. He watched my patterns, decided I was not totally hopeless and offered a suggestion. My results showed dramatic improvement. Only someone with years of experience and a desire to "teach" can observe, diagnose and correct right there on the firing line. To me, that's value added. I will recommend these people and their services every chance I get.
scott romine Intro to Pistol class Yes I signed my daughter (13) up for an Intro to Pistol course and it was excellent. It was the first time she had shot any gun, so she was a little nervous, but Lewis immediately put her at ease. The instruction was expert and thorough, both on safety issues and shooting technique. By the end of the class, my daughter was loading clips, clearing jams, and shooting pretty well--and more importantly, doing it safely. Lewis and Kim also did a great job teaching her about different guns and ammunition, and we got to shoot a number of them, from .22s to a .45. All-in-all, a great class with great instructors.

CCH Level of detailed information and help Yes I would like to take a moment and offer a sincere thank you to Lewis, Kim and Take Aim Carolina for providing us with the concealed carry handgun course. Lewis was so accommodating to our schedules by providing an individual course explicitly for my wife and me. We were familiar with handguns but certainly no experts. Lewis was so incredibly knowledgeable and he explained everything from gun specifics, safety and Law in full detail. We learned so much during the classroom portion of the course. He never made us feel pressured with any timeline constraints also he did not make us feel embarrassed about our lack of knowledge. We asked a lot of questions. When it came to the range portion of the course, Lewis informed us that TAC also offered handgun rentals. We took advantage of this opportunity prior to us purchasing our own. This worked out well because the gun that I liked, I had not even considered prior. At the range he helped with our form, grip and aiming so within a couple minutes Lewis had us shooting accurately. I cannot say enough about TAC and I would recommend TAC to anyone looking for Firearm training. Thanks for a life changing day and our first step into a larger world. We will see you soon in our next training session.

Carry Concealed Handgun The range, of course. Yes Highly recommend T.A.C! Really enjoyed the training with Louis and Kim. Very informative and interactive. They kept it interesting making an 8 hour day fun. I really appreciate the extra time they took with me on my aim and allowing me to try different guns so I can decide what I was comfortable with. I'll definitely be bringing my kids to the gun safety class. Thanks again guys!!! Glad I took this class with you.

CCH/Basic Combo Dual Class Yes Lewis and Kim-what can I say-they broke the mold when they made you both. Even though it took Lewis-2 others to figure it out-Kim is a Diamond. I have been terrified of guns most of my life, and it took over 6 months for me to decide to take the class. The classroom information was spot on and helped in understanding basic concepts as well as NC laws. I cried on the way to the range-but they assured me I would make it through. I passed qualifying with 28/30. Thanks again and I'll be back for more classes and range assistance.

CCH Awesome teachers Yes Thank you Kim and Lewis so much for teaching Joey and I what we need to know about concealed carry. You both were so much help and had great advice to give. Very welcoming. You made me more confident about having a gun. We will most definitely be coming back for more classes.

If it weren't for Kim and Lewis Newman I probably still would not have done this. They are wonderful people and will always be my go to for continued training and learning new skills. Thanks so much Kim and Lewis, you guys are the best!

Personal Protection In The Home Excellent Instruction Yes Today I took the NRA Personal Protection In The Home class. This is my second class with Take Aim Carolina and I truly find it difficult to express how impressed I am with the instruction offered by Lewis Newman. He has the knowledge, the scope and the drills to get you on track. Not only am I excited about my next NRA class with TAC, I'm looking forward to a few of their tailored classes as well. Keep it real TAC, I like what you're doing!!
