I had never fired a Gun before and have a problem with loud pops and bangs. Jason, the instructor, was great. After firing my first shot, I was ready to run. He calmed me down and really gave me confidence that I could do it. Everyone was very friendly but sit was well worth paying for the instruction class. I know what I will be back at Patriots again. I survived the worst. I fired my first clip now need to finesse the mechanics. Thanks Jason
