"This was a very informative class and did learn a lot." Anon 4/24/2021
"Very informative and helpful. Appreciate the great comunication and quick reponses to questions before our class. Thank you Bob" KK 4/24/2021
"Mr. Amey - This is the second time attending your class. The first was to obtain a first time Permit to Carry. The second was to renew expiring permits. My point is yo are clearly informed and passionate. I found each class to be interesting, Informative and beneficial. Thank you for provideing instruction in the classroom and on the gun range. WIth appreciation" AM 4/24/2021.
"I have had the opportunity to take this class 2X now. Bob is a great instructor and keeps your attention for the entire time. I will continue to recommend his class to anyone interested in carrying. Thank you again." Troy L. 4/10/2021
"Bob was clear in content and kept the presentation at a good pace with a style that maintined attentions and learning. He was also sensitive to the class and members' need (group and individual), in class and during the shooting exercise. Further his priority for safety was evident in how we proceeded and in his attention to detail at the range. Finally, Bob was skilled at interjecting humor at an apprpriate amount while maintaining the seriousness of our training and learning.
The classroom was well lit and comfortable with appropriate spacing to be sensitive regardingCovid. The coffee, tea and treats wer greatly apprciated. The onlly distraction here was an intermittnet beep fromthe newly installed security system. However, when a classmate called it to Bob's attention, he immediately responded by closing some doors - reducing the noise.
This was our first time aththe gun club in Hudson ( as well as newbies to firing) - the gun club may beneg=fit from having someone (administrator) stopping in briefly to introduce the sevrive, cost, membership, etc. Bob diod a great point at highlighting the venue, but it could be in the club's benefit to have someone do a short PR on it.
Thank's Bob. This was far better than I anticipated." Anon teacher 4/10/2021. Instructor's comment: A very kind evaluation. Perhaps the longest ever. Thank you.
"Bob Amey was an excellent instructor, totally had me an daughters full attention all day. Really liked the real life examples told to the class. I (we) will recommend Bob to all friends inquiring about taking a permit to carry class. Thanks Bob!" Anon. 8/22/2020
"This class was very informative. Its a great way to understand gun safety. I appreciate Bob Amey's instructions and observations on the shooting range. He is calm, an expert and a great communicator." Anon. 7/25/2020
"Would be nice to hand the gun around or walk to the tables to show it. Did like checking the guns out on break." Anon. 3/14/2020. Instructor comments: Handing a gun around the classroom is difficult to do. Depending on where a student is seated, there are seats with people on both sides, in front and behind a student. In the interest of everyone's safety, I let students examine guns at the display table during breaks with 2 rules: all students stand behind the table and all guns to be pointed to a graphic on the wall behind the table. Much easier to control muzzle direction that way. Can also address any questions that come up on any of the guns for any of the participants.
"8 hours on guns, usage, safety and knowledge seems like it should be a boring day. I appreciate that you were able to teach such a broad knowledge base while keeping the class interesting. I learned a lot from this class. Thanks for all you patience and understanding with all the students. That put me at ease with my fears and nerves......
Great Class Bob!! I am very impressed with your teaching skills and knowledge base.
Your family does a wonderful job helping to educate and bring all students to a good level of understanding of guns / safety. Love their patience and encouragement." LB 10/26/2019
"Bob, Thank you! I am so glad that I checked with you and that you responded so quickly! After taking the MN Course from a different provider this year and seeing what it was like, I am definitely going to refer my friends and associates to your organization in the future because both my wife and I felt that your offering was more detailed, thorough and memorable." ML via email 10/22/19
"Very thorough job.. Enjoyed it. Thank you." VW 7/27/2019
"I took Bob Amey's class 5 years ago and promised myself to take it again. He is thorough and knowledgeable about all topics. Three things were important: to see how much I retained, to see how much I missed the first time and how much had changed. Many more questions I had were answered and I would and will take his course again in 5 years. Hope he is still conducting training then." JMJ 7/27/2019
"One of the best classes I've attended." Anon 12/8/2018
"Bob had great stories that really helped understand the situations you might encounter. I think some of the videos are in better quality on YouTube. Something to consider updating. Appreciate the style of the class, handouts and snacks. Very thoroughly prepared and knowledgeable. I appreciate that (for the most part) Bob kept his personal views private yet still gave us very valuable and relevant information." Anon 11/3/2018

"Excellent presentation & training. Very informative without being dry. Great job. Thanks!"
Anon 7/21/2018
"Excellent presentation. Interesting but too long. Get rid of the XD cleaning video - all guns come apart and clean differently." Anon 5/5/2018 Instructor comment: A cleaning demonstration is required by one of the states covered in this class so it cannot be left out. We take every requirement seriously and we do not cut corners. Having said that, I will look for a more concise cleaning presentation that still incorporates the information required. Thank you.
"Instructor very knowledgeable and easy to listen to." Anon 5/5/2018
"Much, much better that the 1st class at another place. Good Job!!" Anon 5/5/18
"Bob, his son and daughter in-law are all great instructors. This class, by far exceeds what my expectations were. All questions were answered with patience and clarity. No pressure. Calm and observant instruction and training. I am here with other deaf new shooters and Bob was incredible! I will always recommend his class! Thanks so much to Bob and his family. Anon 3/10/2018
"Great job. Nice change of pace to meet needs of audience. Level headed on facts and logic. Very open to questions." Anon 3/10/2018

"Thank you for a well informed class that you presented very well. Break times and such were very good and your selection of guns and holsters was varied and enlightening. Thanks Bob." Anon 3/3/2018
"Thanks Bob! I learned way more than I expected to and I am So Thankful." Anon 11/11/2017
"Very well paced. Thorough. Managed course and everyone's "stories" and sidetracks well. Confirmation and outreach prior to class would be nice. Great value, great content, good day. Videos were nice, a couple more would be welcome." Anon 11/11/2017
"Very helpful class. During target shooting, offered helpful tips. I'm leaving more prepared, ." more confident. eager to practice more often, and probably look for a different gun."
Anon 11/11/2017
"This class was OUTSTANDING. I've had 4 other classes and this one is head and shoulders above them. And I appreciate how the instructors worked with my wife who isn't a shooter. They were helpful, kind, and above all, always safe." CJ 11/11/2017
By 10/21/17 email following the 10/21/2017 class:
"Good afternoon Bob. Thank you very much for a very informative class today. Though I only needed the Utah portion of the class I got more out of this class than I got from Gander Mountain’s MN Carry class during mid last year. Presentation was outstanding and the handouts were very professional. Thank you again. Tony"
"Bob does a great job and obviously has a great deal of knowledge. It was nicce to have access to such a wide variety of weapons. Very comfortable teaching environment and methods. Great job!" Anon 9/23/17
"Class was enjoyable, informative and the instructor was very fun!" Anon 9/23/2017
"Thank you - definitely worth the time. I will recommend to my friends." Anon 9/23/17
"Very good, all inclusive program & excellent teacher! I thought we would do more "shooting practice" but now I will do it on my own with much more knowledge! Thanks!" Instructor note: we do shooting instruction and a shooting qualification. We can usually bring even a very new shooter up to speed quickly but we do encourage all students to shoot a minimum of a box of ammo each month as practice to become more proficient and to learn what to expect out of their firearm and the ammunition they intend to carry.
"Thank you! Great info and well prepared." Anon 8/19/2017
"Did a great job; enjoyed the info and the light hearted humor as well. I recommend this class to all folks interested in carrying a firearm" Anon 7/15/2017 Instructor note: I believe this student and ALL others understand that the business of carrying a firearm is to be taken very seriously. Any comments I make in a humorous tone have to do with peripheral issues and NOT the very serious issues of self defense and carry and use of a firearm. (example: "If you are fleeing from an attacker, it is nearly impossible to run and retrieve your firearm from an ankle holster at the same time, but if you would like to try it, I would like to video tape it and put it in my PowerPoint." I believe that type of statement creates a mental picture that will last. I doubt very many of my students will ever consider carrying their primary firearm in an ankle holster and I believe that is a good thing.)
"A lot more informative that the class I took 5 years ago in MN" Anon 7/15/17
"Great job as always. Look forward to the next renewal." Anon 4/22/2017
"I was real nervous but you guys make me feel so good and give me confidence about myself. Thank you so much." Anon 4/1/2017
"Very informative. Very knowledgeable instructor. Good mix of slides, videos, personal experiences and stories. Excellent location and room. Only complaint: Wasn't clear if we would break for lunch or not." Anon 4/1/2017 Instructor note: We do not take an extended break for lunch. We take a 5 minute break every hour or so. Each student is seated at a table and can eat anytime during the class. We do supply muffins, cookie, fresh fruit and other snacks, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. They are available all day. I did note this in the frequently asked questions tab and would ask that all potential students read that document. Bob.

"I appreciate the situational examples provided. Loved having a female to assist with range experience. (Mad me more comfortable as a woman shooter with minimal experience." Anon 6/25/2016 Instructor note: I bring in additional NRA Certified Range Safety Officers to help on the range as needed. Of the three that I regularly use, two are female. All three of them are well versed in all aspects of the shooting qualification exercise. One of the female RSOs is also an NRA Basic Pistol Instructor and will soon be a Utah certified instructor as well. The other two RSOs are also NRA certified level II trapshooting instructors and they coach a high school trapshooting team. It's a well rounded group and I'm very happy to have the three of them work with me on the range.

I was reviewing the take home materials you provided and appreciated how fully they mirrored the class. They provide a great source for reference. I have not yet looked at the DVD you provided, but will in the near future.
It was nice too, that you had so many firearms for us to see, handle and use for the shooting segment. I am sure I speak for all the attendees, when I say that your wide scope of knowledge was much appreciated, as was your ability and willingness to freely share it with us.
I am not sure whether or not I will apply for the carry permit, but your class certainly helped me feel more comfortable with guns and provided me with knowledge of how to safely handle them." Carole C. 10/25/15 by email following the class.

"Overall very well taught. Great explanation of things. Was slightly concerned on how little gun time was used. May I suggest a class of 8 hours and then a second day on the range" Anon 2/8/2014 (This is the first comment I've received that my class should be two days. At 8 hours, it's one of the longest carry classes out there already. This is a carry class for MN, WI, UT and FL. Of those 4 states, MN and FL are the only ones that requires ANY live fire qualification. Our focus is much more geared to carry requirements, legalities and survival of a deadly force encounter than to marksmanship. I would be happy to recommend additional gun handling training for you but it would clearly be beyond the intended scope of this class. Bob Amey)

Email received 12/9/2013 from student in 12/7/2013 class:
i chose a .45 P220 Sig because i qualified with a .45 while in the air force and because i wanted the stopping power if i ever needed it. it never registered that the size of the P220 would make concealed carry difficult. i have read several articles from various magazines, Guns and Ammo being my first choice, but never captured the "concealed" part of some of the smaller, lighter "sissy" weapons from the articles. I wanted to stop the threat - no questions asked.

Also during one of the breaks, he talked to me about the types of guns that would be better for me without me asking. Thank you!" Anon 7/6/2013 (We do keep a fully articulated 1911 type AirSoft pistol available for the exclusive use of any pregnant students. It is amazingly accurate. The shooting qaul for pregnant women is the exact same course of fire that everyone else shoots without the lead exposure. When possible we try to have pregnant women shoot the qual before class to reduce lead exposure further. Please note that everyone besides pregnant women must shoot live, powder burning ammo.

"Class was very professional and very well done, but a lot to put in to a 1 day class." Anon 4/20/2013 (I wish more students felt this way but the vast majority do not. At 8 full hours, my class is already one of the longest classes in the market place. Some students suggest that it should be much shorter like some of the classes offered by other instructors. I have reviewed the class content repeatedly and do not find anything that I would be comfortable leaving out. This is the first student that told me the class should maybe be longer. I do send each student home with over 100 pages of printed material and a CD containing another 200 or so pages of information. I also make suggestions for other reading. I do understand and appreciate this student wanting to know as much as possible before carrying and I pack what I can into each class. I would like all students to see that my class is not the end of training but rather the beginning. Hopefully it provides you with the understanding that you should continue to learn and keep up with changes, especially in the current political environment. Bob Amey)

"Dear
Mr. Amey,
I just wanted to thank you once again for training Saturday. Your
training was excellent. I have suffered through many, many poor training
courses as part of my career over the years so I really appreciate a
well done course. I can tell that a lot of thought and care went in to
developing your presentation. What I really appreciated was the high
level of organization. Thank you and I will be sending some students
your way.
Regards,"

“Laurie wanted me to pass her thoughts and thanks on to you for the help
and patience that was displayed on Saturday.
Since I have known her, she has never been comfortable around firearms.
I have tried to help by telling her “It is not the firearm, but the
person behind it”. We have gone out and shot some, but she was
just not “sold” on the idea that it can be fun and safe. Bob, that
all changed on Saturday, I have never seen her so excited about a gun,
that’s all we talked about on the way home.
Laurie was on the receiving end of a discharged firearm, so I can try to understand her fear and apprehension. But it was with your assistance, she finally overcame her fears. I have to tell you Bob, she is a different person, and we would BOTH like to extend our gratitude for helping Laurie over this hurdle.” Paul
“I learned more that I expected with all the subjects. You made everything very easy to understand and answered all the participants questions.”
“Outstanding course. Very interesting. Well presented by an excellent instructor. Truly enjoyed the class and the day.”
“Very informational class. Everyone should take this course even if they have no desire to carry a firearm.”
“Excellent delivery, enthusiasm,
desire to help students understand.
Real gentleman.”
