Thorough, well paced, better than you imagine! Fun too! Elaine and Ed are excellent teachers - very calm and encouraging. We will take more classes.

Range time was awesome!

Very helpful. Learned a lot.

Great class, had a ton of fun:  extremely nice to have one on one with instructor. Andree

Shadow Dawg was able to be very accommodating with our unique schedule. Despite the VERY cold weather Ed was able to provide current and engaging information. During the shooting he provided clear instruction and directions. When mistakes were made he was patient and understanding (even though it got colder) when demonstrating proper technique. He was able to help with questions we had on weapon selections. We recommend Shadow Dawg for your concealed carry instruction.

Ed and Elaine make the class very fun and educational. Lots of information, but kept it interesting and interactive.

My Wife and I took the ECCW and Defense in the home classes. The instruction was amazing. The overall emphasis on safety was wonderful.

I hope to take more classes soon!

I took a class from someone else for my ECCW, I took this class with my wife. This class was so much better. I learned so much.

Class was excellent, very informative.

The class was enjoyable. The location was comfortable. The instruction was very good. Ed did a good job in keeping things simple and easy to understand. His stories and experience were on point and enjoyable.

I thought the class did an amazing job of going over all the safety and the instructor took the time to explain every thing well and in great detail. Kristin

Met with Ed Bowles to finish up my CCL training at the Black Creek firing range. Had a great experience as ED put me fully at ease while making the shooting portion educational and fun. Ed has an engaging style that removes any anxiety you might have. So go to his training expecting him to be patient and fully involved in making you a better armed citizen.

I had a ton of fun and gained a lot of knowledge. I can't wait to get to the range again.

put me through some fun drills

I will be recommending Shadow Dawg in the future.

I thought the class was very awesome. I learned a lot today. Thank you for everything.

The class was excellent. Covered the safety very well and always provided concise and clear instructions. Teaching manner was the best and very helpful. Awesome instruction!

Hi Ed, Just a quick note to tell you I really enjoyed the ECCW class and the subsequent training on the range. The review of current self-defense law in Idaho allowed me to asked questions about recent updates and changes, and your legal instructor, Rachel, is well-versed and was willing to go off on a tangent to answer specific questions on the applications of the law. The range instruction and practice was the best I have experienced in 20+ years. Questions were answered and rusty techniques were corrected & polished. You and Elaine conducted a class that was well-planned and safely executed. My spouse Carol echoes my thoughts and we would recommend your training to anyone who wants firearms training and enjoys shooting. Thanks again to you and Elaine . . .
