Relevant Feedback
Dr. Jimmy and Logan are excellent instructors and extremely patient. When you mess up and do something really STOOPID like I did, they do not humiliate you in front of the class. They pull you aside to make sure you know what you did and how to correct. Their goal is to make sure you can safely and correctly use a firearm. If you cannot they will let you go, but they take every step to correct before they do. Highly recommend them.
First of all, I just want to say I am so happy that the BluSafe program as a whole exists. I’ve put off getting training in this area despite knowing I needed to for a long time for fear of persecution due to my appearance and political beliefs. When I found out about BluSafe I jumped at the chance to to learn in this space.
I couldn’t be happier with the experience of this course, specifically. I came into class incredibly anxious because it’s been 15 years since I’ve had my hands on a gun, but Dr. Jimmy and Logan made safety the #1 priority, and gave us hours of classroom training before we even touched any guns, which really put me at ease. They even put an emergency response plan into place in case anything happened, which also helped me feel safe. There was a slow progression of introduction of skills as the day went on, so it didn’t feel like I was being rushed into anything I wasn’t ready for, but was also pushed just enough to challenge myself.
What really stood out was the personal attention each of us in the class received. Not only were we taught skills up front but they spent time with each of us diagnosing what we weren’t doing correctly along the way. Dr. Jimmy even took a video of my hands/gun to show me in slow motion what was happening in addition to telling me, that was a nice touch. They taught without judgment and with the utmost patience while making sure we maintained a healthy respect for the weapons we were handling. They were encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve.
On top of being great teachers, Logan and Dr. Jimmy are just good people — super friendly, easy to talk to, and hilarious. They kept the mood light without ever compromising the serious focus on safety. It made the whole day fly by and created a positive environment for learning.
If you’re looking for a course with high-quality instruction and with a welcoming, supportive atmosphere, I can’t recommend this one enough. I left feeling more confident, more skilled, and already looking forward to more instruction time with Dr. Jimmy and Logan.
