Heard about Shadow Dawg. I came up from S. Cal. I have taken every class they offer. They have knowledge, experience. and teaching methods that are unmatched. They keep the classes fun and maintain the highest safety standards.

I give this class a 10*. I truly enjoyed the class a lot. Most importantly, I take away a lot of knowledge. Thank you so very much for your devoted time and effort Will recommend to all

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

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

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.

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

This class was very informative. It was well presented and very easy to follow and understand.

Class was excellent, very informative.

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.

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.

Very helpful. Learned a lot.

5 star

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.

Excellent instruction. Very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended.

It was by far one of the best classes I've been involved in and each point was easy to follow and understand  

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!

Very useful information, not only about shooting, but real life situations and self defense situations. Amazing class

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 . . .

Thank you. The instruction was very helpful, professional and thorough. Well done.
