Brooke does an exceptional job teaching. Loved the small class environment as well. 8 hours is a long day but she made it fun. Provided lunch as well.

I have had only one class with Brooke so far! However she is such a great person and instructor and I cannot wait to have another class with her! I took the “Gun handling & shooting” class and had a blast just doing that! Brooke is funny and fun and really knowledgeable! I learned so much more than what this course was to outline and have been watching most of her videos and training with my high end Airsoft guns that have all the realistic features to get used to gun handling the way she taught me, since my class this past Thursday! She has inspired me to go further in my learning and has inspired me to want to learn as much as I can to become a trainer myself! She is one of those people you can talk to or meet once and you feel you have known her for years! She treats you as if your comfort is what matters most! She admits she is just an average, normal person but she is far more than that! All I can say is she is a gem and I HIGHLY recommend “A Great Start Shooting School”! I am so glad I chose to go with this shooting school over the other ones I had thought of! I feel this is the perfect route for me to take and Brooke is an amazing and wonderful Trainer! Thank you so much Brooke for a wonderful class! Thank you for the confidence that you showed in me and for inspiring me to go for goals of becoming a trainer! You’re the best! -Matt

I have spent years wanting to get my permit and eventually get into shooting sports. Finally as a birthday gift to myself I pulled the trigger. Pun intended! Brooke is a phenomenal instructor. I booked the private class because it worked with my crazy and unpredictable work schedule. It was worth every penny and more. Her patience and expertise is unmatched. I have booked more classes to become more profecient and comfortable. I found my coach! I highly recommend A Great Start Shooting School.

Brooke was absolutely amazing! She was patient, thorough, and extremely informative in teaching me and my husband about the ins and outs of shooting. I was so nervous going into this, but Brooke helped calm my fears and I’m excited to come back to keep learning!

Brooke is a great teacher. Very experienced and knowledgeable with a wonderful teaching style. She makes one feel comfortable and at ease while going through a lot of information. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and one definitely learns about the safe and proper use of guns and shooting. I totally recommend her school!
