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.

Our first firearm safety class was excellent. We were nervous to start but the further we got along handling the firearm and equipment the more comfortable we became. Mike and Sarah are awesome instructors. We will be enrolling our boys and are signing up for more classes. Thanks to you both for a great experience. - Katie S.
