Firearm and Personal Safety Training

I highly recommend Cadence Defense! Sarah and Mike are an awesome team with the perfect personalities to make you feel at ease. They gave me the knowledge and confidence to handle a handgun. I’ve taken 2 classes, a CCW and a Women’s intermediate handgun class and they were both very informative and fun! I can’t recommend them enough, if you are a beginner or just want to learn more I highly suggest taking one of their classes! - Andie L.

The instructors were wonderful! They were knowledgeable, friendly and made the class fun! They were patient and helpful and made me feel very comfortable at the range too. I would highly recommend Cadence Defense! See you again in 5 yrs when my CCW permit expires. - Nicole W.

Sarah taught a great class on an introduction to handguns. Her explanations of guns and the emphasis on safety gave me confidence in handling handguns. She has a comfortable approach to the materials covered and worked with each of us on our stance, grip and confidence. I highly recommend this class. - Jill M.
