Citadel Defensive Systems

About

I care about the confidence of my students more so than knowledge delivery. I want more than anything to inspire my students to go further in the shooting sports, to eliminate their fears and hesitations surrounding firearms.

Citadel trained my girlfriend and I. I have some firearms experience, but was no expert. My girlfriend had no experience, and so I thought this would be a great way for both of us to get some formal training. I was surprised at how much I actually didnt know, and how much I was able to learn. Now my girlfriend and I are closer having gone through this training and we know that we can both back each other up if ever needed. I highly recommend Citadel Defensive Systems whether youre a casual shooter, or a new (or potential) gun owner just looking to get some formal training.

Tom did an outstanding job helping me with my first pistol purchase. Highly recommend him as a teacher and will be taking more classes from him in the future.
