Colorado’s Premier Firearms Training Academy

I couldn’t possibly thank Kaylynn and Melissa (and other support) enough for the Women’s CCW course. I learned so much and it went by in no time at all. I definitely will be looking to take more of their courses. Highly recommend!

I cannot thank John and the rest of the instructors enough for the extremely high quality class they put on yesterday at Johnstown. As someone moving to Colorado from out of state, their advanced CHP was perfect for someone like me who is a CCW holder and has already taken pistol training but needs to satisfy Colorado’s CCW requirements and still wants to grow as a shooter. It was engaging, challenging and the level of knowledge and professionalism demonstrated by the instructors were outstanding. I look forward to taking more classes from these folks!

I just took the Colorado new CHP course provided by Makhaira at Liberty Firearms Institute in Johnstown, CO. Despite 54 years of firearms experience, 47 years of hunting experience, 41 years of multi-caliber handloading experience, a 25 year military career (sometimes with "special stuff"), and over 20 years in concealed carry in other states, I can tell you Makhaira group provided the absolute most superb basic firearms training I have ever seen. You can not go wrong with Makhaira. A special thanks to Chris and Dalton. You guys rock. I'll be back for more.

The Makhaira Group is a textbook example of professionalism, as demonstrated by their staff's knowledge, calm demeanor, and willingness to help their students learn fundamentals and skills. I recently took the P100 course and was thoroughly pleased to have done so. I will be returning for future courses. Thank you for a wonderful course and the quality of instructors.

The structure of the class was easily manageable. The instructors in the classroom and at the range were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and informative. I have told several people about the class and how much I enjoyed it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I've taken several classes with Makhaira Group. The instruction is excellent, carefully conducted and professional. Highly recommended.

This was a great class led by very experienced instructors. They were very hands-on during the range time. I will be continuing my training with Makhaira Group.

I just wanted to provide some feedback on the RSO training that I completed this week at the Liberty Firearms Institute in Johnstown CO. Kaylynn was our instructor and she did a fantastic job reviewing the content in the manual and providing an array of weapons that illustrate the various action types manufactured. Kaylynn was very animated and personable during the presentation of material, and she made interesting what otherwise could've been an extremely boring couple of days if a “Ferris Bueller” instructor had alternatively been sent to train on the same topics. While having no background in law enforcement, the thought of taking NRA courses seemed previously out of reach and firmly outside of my wheelhouse, and as a result my original plan was to end training efforts after the Basic RSO class. However after seeing the material and the quality of training that Kaylynn brought to the table and how seemingly dumb academic questions were fielded in a way that didn’t make us feel dumb, I’m seriously considering enrolling in additional classes and pursuing an advancement of training to instructor level on pistol and rifle as time permits in the future. Well done folks, really.

I am very familiar with using a revolver, I acquired a 9mm, but had never used a semi-auto. This group instilled a confidence in me to be proficient with either and I learned things I hadn't known before. I highly recommend this group for handgun training, whether you are new to the sport or an old hand, the trainers and instructors are knowledgeable and informative, and will answer any question you have!
