“Regardless of your experience or knowledge of firearms advent training will tailor the class to your specific needs while completing the required requirements to make you succeed in your goals, whatever they may be. I highly recommend this training instructor!”
“Scott is a very technical and organized instructor. His class begins with a classroom part, followed by some dry fire, followed by live fire. He doesn’t just facilitate your shooting with drills and targets; he really focuses on your mechanics and helps fine tune them.
I’ve been shooting for a bit with some formal training. I took the introduction to handgun course to bring my girlfriend by to get her first class. She cancelled last minute so I asked a friend of mine, with similar experience, to come with.
Even in an introductory course, Scott was still able to identify deficiencies in our shooting, give us mentorship, and help us achieve measurable improvement. It was impressive.
Scott…you’re a G. Thank you.”
“As a new comer to owning a gun, this training was extremely helpful! I learned all the basics of gun handling and safety and I feel so much more calm around holding a gun. I learned how to troubleshoot when a gun doesn’t fire and how to fix it myself. I feel like even if you have gone shooting before, it’s nice to have this training to help you nail down the basics of aim and grip and how to be accurate in your shot. The trainer was super awesome, and was able to give 1 on 1 time and gave helpful feedback for me to work on. 10/10 would recommend to a friend”
“My wife and I went to the took the intro to hand guns course and it was excellent! The instructor is very well informed and knowledgeable. He broke things down to our level and gave each class participant individual feedback and direction. Highly recommend!”
"Scott is a great instructor. He gives each student the time they require. The in class time is not boring either. He takes detailed notes for each person and gives you individual feedback afterwards. I highly recommend taking this course if you're unfamiliar or relatively new to handguns and would like to learn safe and proper handling. Oh, and you will definitely leave better than you came."
"I've attended Scott's 'Intro to Handgun' class at The Farm Training Center multiple times with one of my children. Everyone benefits from competent and professional training, especially in firearms safety, education, and ownership. Scott provides a very holistic perspective to the handgun with a safety first approach. The class sizes allow Scott to orient each student on critical fundamental skills."
"The instructor is very knowledgeable and cares a lot about safety. I appreciate his efforts to teach and encourage people to own and care for a firearm in a safe manner. This is a great course if you are trying to decide what gun to buy. The gun I thought I wanted…is not the gun I will be buying. After I took the course, I am rethinking my choices for my next purchase."
"Great training with a lot of one on one attention. Scott is a solid instructor and very patient."
"The training was awesome. Everything was well explained and I felt like I had improved in my firearm proficiency by the end of the course. Scott, the instructor, did a wonderful job of making me feel confident and I am very satisfied with my training."
"I just took Scott's intro class. It was a fantastic experience! I learned a lot from him. He was friendly, helpful and professional. I recommend this course to anybody who wants to feel more comfortable with a handgun."
"Amazing teacher with an eye for detail. I’ve taken two different classes with Scott and each time he’ll break down the concepts of each drill going over the hows and whys. Not only that, but he also provides notes and a video of your performance after class so that you have something to work on. On top of that, runs a safe class environment so highly recommend."
"Scott is a master teacher. His passion for deriving actionable insights from data (on-site and through the videos he recorded of me) allowed me to better tune in my shot placement and develop a quicker draw. He kept the class upbeat and value-filled throughout. I highly recommend investing in yourself and training under him."
"I really enjoyed Scott's class. Even though I have been shooting handguns for many years, I learned a couple of valuable things that are helping to take my shooting to the next level. I strongly recommend his classes."
"I definitely would recommend taking a class from Scott. I did a Private Session with him and it was extremely helpful for me to identify the areas I can focus on and improve on. Scott is definitely passionate about training and it shows in his work. Go sign up for one of his classes."
"I’m new to shooting and this class gave me so much confidence. I feel I have the fundamentals and safety skills to safely use my gun. Thank you, Scott!"
"I have taken two classes (Handgun Fundamentals and Concealed Carry Red Dot 1) from Advent training and each time I came away feeling like I learned skills that would help me improve my pistol shooting. I thoroughly enjoy Scott's teaching style, too. He does not come from a military or law enforcement background, so the lessons and skills he presents are relatable to your "average" person who is interested in improving their pistol shooting skills.
I would highly recommend taking one of Advent Training's classes. Whether you're new to pistol shooting / concealed carrying or your experienced in both of those subjects, you will not be disappointed."
"Phenomenal instructor! My favorite part of the pistol course I attended was the post-course videos. While shooting, Scott took videos of us and, afterwards, did voice-over commentary of the videos (and sent them to us) so we could actually see (in slo-mo) precisely what we needed to work on! Knowledgeable instructor, personalized shooting advice, and paced according to our ability. Would 10/10 recommend this course for anyone - from beginner to expert!"
"I recently had the pleasure of taking a shooting class at Advent Training with Scott Garcia, and I must say, he went above and beyond to provide an outstanding experience. Throughout the class, it was evident that Scott was incredibly passionate about safety, and this was his top priority. He consistently emphasized the importance of safe handling and use of firearms, and he made sure that we all could feel safe running a hot range..."
"Anyone who owns a firearm needs to have training!!! Going to the desert to shoot with your neighbor the cop or your roomates "former military experience" is insufficient and possibly dangerous. You need proper, professional instruction.
Having had the opportunity to train with nationally known firearm instructors on several occasions I still came away with lots of info and Scott diagnosed why I wasn't shooting as accurate as I can.
I can confidently say that Scott from Advent Training will help you with your goal to become more proficient with a pistol.
Highly recommended!!!"
"Awesome day on the range, we covered the fundamentals and worked on drills to better my confidence with my pistol. Scott was an awesome instructor. 5 stars"
"I had a really fun time focusing on fundamentals and details of shooting firearms. Scott is extremely detail oriented in his teachings and was extremely helpful with working stance, drawing from concealment, zeroing in red dots, and some drills. I really appreciated the follow up email that gave me detailed descriptions of what I need to work on and additional tips."
