Mr Laidlaw, just wanted to say thanks for a great pistol class. As you know my wife had to be dragged along with me because of her fear of guns. But believe it or not after the time you spent with her in handling the empty guns and with your patience at the range, she has done a complete turn around and is now bugging me to buy her her own gun. She had a blast! Alan is definitely the guy to see if you are new to guns or nervous about shooting one. Very Knowledgeable instructor.cvc4t

Hey Al, great class thanks for taking me to the indoor range so I didnt need to wait for the outside one to melt. I learned lots!!

Thanks Bill, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well. When are we going to the range? Give me a call

Hi Alan! It's been about a year and a half now since I took your class! Best thing I ever did. Just having the satisfaction of knowing that if something ever happened that I could be there for my family. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!

I'm a 64-yr-old former English teacher who decided fairly quickly to get a Concealed Carry Permit. I learned that Alan Laidlaw, a high school classmate I hadn't seen in about 45 years, was an NRA Certified Instructor. A friend, her sister and I signed up for the course. WOW !!! Much more thorough than I had expected but I was able to score 98 on the test along with my friend, and her sister got 100 ! The trip to the range was an eye-opener. We all had the chance to shoot about 10 rounds in each of at least 10 guns... from a .22 to a .45 and then some. I discovered I really liked the feel of a Glock 23. I wasn't planning on buying a gun or carrying, but I now own a Glock 19 - less recoil and cheaper ammo - and am working towards marksmanship qualifications. I am loving it but without the thorough instruction I received from Alan, I honestly don't think I'd be in this place now. He's involved with a youth shooting program through High Rock Shooting Association so you know he is a patient instructor. He gets high marks from me if you're interested in checking out the possibilities.
