I had the pleasure of taking my NRA Certified Pistol Instructors course with Erik and Lexen this past weekend. When looking for a class to take, it was either going to Raleigh, or Newport. Since I lived in Wilmington, I decided to head up to Newport. I am SO glad that I did. Erik And Lexen make the environment for their classes so incredibly welcoming and relaxed. They feel like family members you didn't know you had. They are so easy to talk to, ask questions to, and receive instruction from. They are extremely skillful, knowledgeable, and invested in their classes they teach. You can tell they really care about educating people. I will be taking more classes with them in the future, and would recommend them to anyone, beginner to experienced, for any training they may be interested in.
