Here is what people are saying about our courses:


…APT has my highest recommendation! As stated, I have served in the USMC, spent my entire adult life and retired as a police officer and firearms trainer, and have been a lifelong shooting enthusiast. The APT training was absolutely top notch, and I learned many things in your class.

I am looking forward to more classes and skills training.


Dear Ralph, Kurt, Shelly and Dawn,

I wanted to extend my sincere thanks for some fantastic training. I have spent my entire adult life attending training for my police career. Your training methods, preparation, hospitality, and presentation were outstanding. Most prior training involved yelling, trainers boasting about themselves, and attempting to impress. Unfortunately the learning was often shallow.

Your presentation manner, and well presented lessons stuck with me. I was amazed at how much “new” information I picked up. And yes, that is after a 28 year career of firearms use and training in law enforcement. I am already planning on my first class when my credentials are received. I have six people wanting pistol training and I can’t wait to present the class to them in the same manner you demonstrated.


Just wanted to send a note to you personally thanking you and your family for the training this weekend! I learned so much valuable info. Everything you folks cover far outweighs the cost of the class. You all are great! Very impressed with all of you and your good people :o )

I plan on taking more courses and keeping in contact!


First I have to say what an enjoyable time in the 2 classes Friday night and Saturday – just wish I could of made the Sunday one too, especially after all the rain I ran into going home Saturday evening.  The classes really increased the little knowledge I had – Thanks!!!

Please let me know when you will be conducting the next RSO classes. I’m looking forward to attending more of your schools.


The APT staff is very dynamic, well prepared and professional. The Chief RSO course was well thought out and covers all aspects of what is required to safely monitor/operate any type of firing range. I look forward to taking many more classes with APT and would welcome them to the Eugene/Springfield area.

I received my NRA pistol instructors training at APT. It was a great experience and it taught me a lot about training others and doing so safely.

  • After the first instructor class I knew this was the group to stay with. I train differently than some, show me, train me, instruct me, guide me with what knowledge I have and yield an Instructor that wants to train. You will have fun as well, share information and hear from other students. They will also learn from you too. I am now a Board member of BKS Sportsmen”s Gun Club, Pistol/Rifle Range member contact, BKS Chief Range Safety Officer, have trained 4 club officers as RSO’s for the first time of the club, working on their first Archery Range, will be implimenting Black Powder training. I was an Instructor student of APT and thier direction and style was what I needed . Remember APT, your Attitude, their traning and it works. I can’t thank them enough. Oh, I was USN, Signalman, skivie waver for jarheads. USMC, just say NO.

  • Kurt,

    The RSO course that you conducted on Sunday the 13th was really well presented, The class was made up of sophisticated firearms personnel and your command of the class was excellent. Everyone learn. Thanks for a job well done.
