This was a great class for an introduction to rds, and was a great class for beginners and intermediate users. The instructors were both awesome and made the class fun and interesting. I recommend this class to anyone transitioning to rds or new to rds that wants a better understanding.

Great class, great networking experience. Taught by those in the industry without the fluff. Learning objectives met without an instructor using the time to showcase his ego.

The team at DSA understands that everyone learns differently. With respect, they nurture the novice shooter and push the learned. I have taken multiple classes with this group and each time walked away with new ideas and concepts on how to present, cover, conceal, and defend myself and my castle. Before my first class, I personally had a great fear of firearms, but after 16 hours of guidance, my confidence and attitude regarding pistols changed. These are humble teachers, with a unified goal of making you feel safe and prepared. And while one class does not a master make, with each session they present abundant firearm defense skills and safety handling techniques for you to take home, practice, and improve.

I found DSA through a friend who invited me to join him for the ACP level 1 course. I was completely new to handguns and was a little nervous about what to expect and if this would be the right fit for me.
I cannot say enough positive things about the DSA team. Safety was the #1 priority for everyone – that was crystal clear. I was amazed at how the team was able to personalize the hands on experience to my skill level while providing opportunities to learn more as I observed them and other more advanced shooters in my class.
Not only did I learn a great deal, but my shooting improved incredibly from beginning to end. If you are willing to take the first step to try and learn something new, Marshall and the DSA team will meet you more than halfway to give you a top-notch and challenging experience, while making you feel safe and comfortable throughout the class.

I recently had the privilege of completing COMBAT CARBINE with Marshall and Billy, and I must say it was an outstanding experience. The instructors demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise and professionalism, ensuring a safe and controlled environment throughout the entire program. The curriculum was thoughtfully structured, covering everything from firearm safety and proper handling techniques to marksmanship fundamentals and tactical shooting drills. The training facility itself was well-equipped and maintained, allowing for a comprehensive hands-on learning experience. The instructors’ patient and engaging teaching style fostered a positive learning atmosphere, and their individualized feedback greatly enhanced my shooting skills. Overall, it was an invaluable opportunity that exceeded my expectations, equipping me with the knowledge and confidence to responsibly and effectively handle a firearm. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to improve their marksmanship abilities.

I recently had the pleasure of attending DSA’s combat carbine class and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived at the range, it was evident that this was going to be a top-notch experience. The knowledgeable instructors and comprehensive curriculum combined to create an exceptional learning environment for all participants.
The instructors were highly skilled and passionate about the class with an emphasis on participants’ safety at all times. Their expertise and ability to effectively communicate complex concepts made learning enjoyable and accessible; this class will be more beneficial if you already have pretty developed competence with a carbine. They fostered a supportive and inclusive atmosphere, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and empowered to ask questions and seek clarification.
An aspect that stood out was the personalized attention given to each shooter. The instructors took time to assess individual strengths and areas for improvement for all.
