Amazing classes and confidence training. Brooke is extremely knowledgeable and very patient with my millions of questions. She makes you feel comfortable and works at your pace of how and what you want to learn. I never held a gun before my classes and now I’m a proud owner of 5 guns! I am constantly learning and growing and I thank Brooke for teaching me and putting up with my constant random questions! I look forward to my future training with her.

This school is aptly named, it truly is "A Great Start"!! The instructor is easy to listen to, and as a student, you feel that the course is perfect for anyone-experienced shooter or complete novice. With the advantage of having their own on-site range, the facility offers the complete experience. It was a great day, even included lunch! I would unconditionally recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn about all of the aspects of gun safety and proper use. I will return for more advanced studies that they offer to improve my shooting skills going forward!

I went to A Great Start Shooting School because it was on my bucket list. I always wanted to know about a firearm and how to shoot. Brooke was Fantastic! She not only showed me the how but more importantly taught me the safety involved. Her classes are so informative. I received my pistol permit and am so excited! Knowing how to shoot and the safety gave me as a woman a sense of empowerment. I loved it! I would recommend her to everyone and do. Now I would like to give each of my grandchildren lessons. Thank you, Brooke! - Pam Root

Brooke has been amazing to work with. I am a new gun owner and she has helped me feel more confident and comfortable with my fire arm. During our sessions she has taken the time to provide feedback on my stance and firm, which has helped improve my accuracy. I can’t wait to go back!

Brooke is an excellent instructor .. she takes her time to make sure you are comfortable .. sometimes you wait your turn to shoot in the company of the chairman of the board ?

Brooke is a wonderful instructor. Her patience and hands on training helped me relax and feel confident as I had little to no experience going into the class. I will certainly be coming back for more classes.

I needed a classifier for an upcoming IDPA State match and Brooke worked with my schedule to fit me in. She even took the time to give me some advice on my draw. I would recommend Brooke to any level shooter.

I’d like to start by saying Brooke and Bill are awesome! I walked in feeling nervous and knowing I had a lot to learn. I left feeling confident and very well informed. Our class consisted of 2 instructors (Brooke and Bill) and 5 students, all a wide range of ages and from different walks of life. I had zero experience. From the beginning they made me feel safe, both in the way of firearms being handled safely and of no question being a stupid question. They were both very personable and engaging. They answered questions I didn’t even know I had. Things were explained in ways I could understand as a complete beginner. When it came time to actually shoot my nervousness peaked. Bill immediately picked up on this and turned it into excitement with humor and encouragement. Their knowledge and experience truly shows in their way of teaching. I would 100% recommend AGSSS and I look forward to continuing my education with Brooke and Bill.

Brooke is wonderful! Could not have asked for a better experience with a gun safety class. She does her absolute best to show how to safely handle a gun. She was very helpful with dates and times. I would and will recommend anyone about Brooke and her classes to start their journey to obtaining a pistol permit!
