Mental Marksmanship — Local services in Phoenix

For context, I have never attended any formal firearm training before taking the CCW class offered by Mental Marksmanship. I was in the Scouts, shot a few rounds with my brother before, and my father owned a gun. However, that being said, I imagine that even those with extensive experience will end up taking away something valuable from these two brilliant instructors, making the price for this course well worth what you pay. For additional context, I purchased a discounted voucher via Groupon, but I was so happy with the experience that I am looking for additional courses by these instructors and would be happy to pay the full list price (which is already competitive with other course prices)

This course was about so much more than just gun safety, the laws, and how to concealed carry. While we did get into proper gun handling safety and techniques, the overarching theme was the Mental aspect. At first I thought the name Mental Marksmanship was targeted for people “Crazy” about guns. This assumption, was far from the case. What I found was that the instructors were raising really thought provoking questions. I went home really thinking about the impacts of carrying a gun. They really hit home on not just the legal ramifications of owning a gun, but several other areas which I will leave for them to share with you.

Additionally, the primary instructor is incredibly qualified to be teaching- I can’t remember all the details, but I do remember he served in high up leadership roles for law enforcement for many many years. He’s seen it all, and I immediately felt comfortable and respected what he had to share. His assistant was also wonderful, qualified, and really emphasized the “Mental” aspect of this course. The two really complimented each other.

Lastly, I had no expectations of this course, content wise. It was close by and had great reviews for a great prices. I was just looking to get a CCW, but ended up taking home so much more. Attending with an open mind will grant you an...

The training provided by Lena and Jack of Mental Marksmanship is excellent! You will learn about the A.R.S. Title 13-Criminal Code, Arizona legal protections, general applicable laws, elements of a crime, gun safety, risk assessment and response, etc. Also included is the mental aspect of being prepared to take necessary precautions and protective measures, as well as techniques to practice at home to improve one's skills and abilities.

What sets their program apart is the years of individual experience and expertise Lena and Jack bring to the classroom and range, particularly the in-depth exploration into the psychology of crisis situations. This provides not only an examination of the science, but a venture into self-discovery in ways unimaginable, which is priceless.

Additionally, you can't beat the price or the amount of training you receive. Whereas, elsewhere you will ordinarily pay about the same for a two-hour stripped down course that spoon feeds you just enough info to pass the CCW test, you get eight hours of Lena and Jack's time and attention. If you want the best bang for your buck, this is it! Look no further.

This course should be for every person who owns a firearm. The instructors are Jack Husted and Lena Voyles. They are also the owners and are committed to your training and your understanding of how to make safe and legal decisions with a firearm. I am ex-military and am very comfortable and careful about firearms. I never expected to be given such a greater knowledge and understanding about every area of this subject. These instructors shed light on every circumstance you could encounter, both physically, legally and always with the overriding factor of gun safety. Many situations were explained professionally, but also in a way that intensely held your interest. I was shocked to realize how many things I have taken as fact over the years which turned out to be completely untrue...as clearly explained by these two terrific instructors. I highly recommend this class if you own a firearm. or intend to buy one. And concealed carry is the way to go to protect yourself and your love ones. This course is worth every penny and every minute...
