Our Reviews

This is the second class I have signed up for. I travel 1600 miles round trip to come to Ridgeline and that should tell you everything you need to know about how I feel about the value and experience of training here.

The Mid Range Carbine class I took at Ridgeline was the most fun, and I think the most beneficial class I have ever taken.

In addition to what we did in the class, I left with a great base of things to work on. Can’t wait to get back to Ridgeline again soon!

I wish I had taken this class when I was a newer shooter so I didn’t have to unlearn so many bad habits. I would recommend the classes here to anyone!
