"I had the opportunity to take a defensive handgun course through APE Academy and I can say I found it to be most useful. Experienced shooters and new shooters alike will find the curriculum to be very informative. Phil take the time to focus on the principles of shooting and makes sure to incorporate them in to all aspects of the class. At APE they not only want to teach it right but they want you to discover what works and what does not. This in itself is what makes the training real." ~ Chris

"As a Crisis Application Group member, I knew that Phil was vetted to be the real deal when it came to training. Going in, I already expected to have a good class. Boy was I wrong, it was a great class! The experience, and first hand knowledge was awesome. I was able to identify my weaknesses as a shooter, and worked through them. In the end, I came away with great knowledge, solid fundamentals, and more humbled as a shooter. Gotta leave the egos at home, and come to the class ready to learn." ~ Marty

"I am a first time gun owner and APE Academy taught me the rules and basics before I even fired a gun. I learned a lot throughout the training class and had a lot of fun. I would highly recommend APE Academy to others." ~ Sean

"I came to Phil at APE Academy when I wanted to know more information about what type of handgun I should purchase and how to use it. What I walked away with was a better understanding of safety, shooting technique and confidence in how to handle my gun. The instruction was at a pace I could understand while still having fun. I would definitely recommend APE Academy!" ~ Tia

"I've spent plenty of time at the range, but taking a class with Phil at Ape Academy really opened my eyes to how much I've been missing besides just punching holes through paper. He was easy to understand and went at my pace, and taught me the skills and techniques I need to become truly proficient with my firearm." ~ Josh
