For anyone wanting the best training available, Sierra Firearms Academy is the place. Their combined years of experience is just incredible and, impeccable. The Class is fun, exciting, and very serious. A friend recommended them to me and I had to wait a little longer to save for the cost, but well worth YOUR life. My Son is a SPECOP’s MP that just returned from Afghanistan and other Countries I can’t mention, anyways, I read through the bio with him and he agreed that Sierra Firearms is the place to go. Don’t learn to carry like a junkyard dog, go with the very best in Northern Nevada.

Dear Dave & Mike, we spent last Saturday (May 9th) with you learning not to become victims. Your self- defense class was so professional, informative, and well done. Husband John hasn’t used a weapon in nearly 45 years as a captain in the USAF in southeast Asia. Until our gun purchases three weeks ago, I had never even held a gun. This experience with you both had been the further most thing from my mind, but times are changing…and not for the better. If I had known what a rush that first trigger pull would be, I would have added it to my “bucket list.” Thank you for your patient and gentle instruction at the firing range for this novice. We will definitely recommend Sierra Firearms to anyone who is interested. We so appreciate your efforts in making us more confident in a confrontational situation.

I want to express my thanks for a really great Renewal class I completed yesterday (Oct.31,2020). As always, your instruction method is very thorough, professional and informative. The presentation is always up-to-date and without “shortcuts”. I think the gravity and responsibility of being a concealed carry owner is very well emphasized, and the importance of continuing to improve individual skills is underscored. I thank you again for a great program with very expert instruction, and hope my comments can encourage future students to sign up!

The instructors, Mike, Dave, Pat and Rocky are devoted to improving your knowledge and skills in proper body mechanics and firearms efficiency, with an absolute focus upon safety and respect. For seven years, we senior citizens from behind the lines in California have traveled to the free State of Nevada to learn and practice effective firearms use. Lessons have included (1) basic safe firearms handling and operation, (2) preferred body mechanics, stance, draw and firearm presentation, (3) malfunction solutions from diagnosis to cure, (4) movement, fire and preparing for the un-anticipated under stress, (5) the dynamics of decision making and initiative on your part to gain advantage, (6) the role of time and distance in maintaining advantage, and (6) the need for situational awareness and how avoiding trouble is the best path home. For these instructors, mistakes have always been lessons and never opportunities to belittle your performance. While the goal is serious, the journey has been absolutely fun. Our training experience shows that Mike, Dave, Pat and Rocky will help you to be safe, practical, efficient and effective with your firearm. We look forward to our next time with them. We thank them and you will too!
