Sandy and Diane run a real world training school. They have developed a rustic range that incorporates the latest in safety. Sandy's many years experience as a range safety officer show in the location and design of the facilities. I have taken many of the NRA courses and I am certified as a NRA pistol instructor. My next challenge is shotgun. I did not know what to expect for this course. Before starting the training, Sandy and Diane took the time to learn my background. They did a great job taking even more time than the NRA requires. They emphasized SAFETY, SAFETY! The class work was very detailed. They did not miss anything. Diane made the trap shooting very interesting and challenging. She gave me extra time in the shooting by providing several types of shotguns. They emphasized safety in clearing various types of malfunctions. After the shooting, we disassembled all the guns, cleaned them and reassembled them. Great Job Sandy and Diane! * Sandra - Mar 26, 2012 I must say, I was put off by the facilities, driving by first, thinking it must not be the place, however, the quality of instruction was excellent. The ladies answered my every question completely, and made me feel comfortable in handling a firearm. I teach in a university, and can honestly say that their manner of instruction was highly effective. If I didn't understand something said one way, they would express it another way. I was impressed by their extensive knowledge and their emphasis on safety. I feel much more confident in my abilities to handle my pistol safely, than before the class and would highly recommend them for a class. * George - Mar 26, 2012 When learning a new skill, it's the people doing the teaching that make or break the experience. At Poconos Gun Range, the patient, qualified instruction from Diane and Sandy made the day for my family and I. Seeing them put so much of themselves into what they do made me realise that I brought my family to the right place. * Chet - Nov 18, 2011 We just completed the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Class and were totally satified with our experience and high level of professional instruction. The classroom instruction and hands on learning methods were captivating and fun. Sandy and Diane stressed safety through out all facets of the instruction. They were both very patient and knowledgeable while delivering their curriculum. We would highly recommend Sandy and Diane to anyone wanting instruction in safe shooting practices. Keep up the good work Sandy and Diane and we look forward to taking another course in the near future. Thanks again! Chet &Aileen * G.B. - Aug 31, 2011 Educational, enjoyable and rewarding course! Sandy and Diane are very knowledgeable instructors, who were able to suit the needs of our mixed-age group. They readily shared their talents and expertise with us and were exceptional at training our 11 year old son in gun safety and target practice. We ended the day feeling very accomplished! * Constance - Jul 15, 2011 GREAT instructors! Very patient, capable, experienced, personable, and CALMING :) It was a lovely day in beautiful surroundings. That said, the best part was leaving there feeling comfortable with my own gun and a range of other pistols, both revolvers and semi autos. Thanks Sandy and Diane!! * Jim - Apr 17, 2012 *********5 STAR INSTRUCTORS ********* Sandy and Diane are the best!!! They are very knowledgeable and are THE PEOPLE to go to for firearm safety. They are proud of what they do and it shows in the quality they provide to their students. If you are looking for a class to go to, go to Sandy and Diane for Firearm safety. GREAT JOB!!!! * Mary Ellen - Apr 21, 2012 Both Sandy and Diane are very serious about safety and helping people to be competently trained with a firearm. I have not had a more informative and enjoyable day of learning in a very long time! These gals are exceptional in teaching the student the proper way of handling a firearm, with safety as their number one objective. They were very patient and insured that I understood every aspect and step of the training process. Their individual skills, combined together into a team effort made for an extremely effective training experience. I was impressed by the fact that Sandy and Diane were more concerned about the completeness of my training than with finishing in the allotted time. They kept me there until they were satisfied that I was safe and competent with my firearm * Rob - Jul 15, 2012 The family's intent of taking this course was to learn safety and the fundamentals of sports shooting. When arriving at the training location, we were eagerly and warmly welcomed by Sandy and Diane. The range is located in the woods at Shamrock Stables which requires a short walk from the parking lot. Once at the range, you'll note Sandy and Diane are serious about safety both in their presentation and the physical set-up of the range. Both instructors obviously have many years experience and are very effective as teachers. Verbal and visual instruction, in addition to hands-on experience for students, lends itself to a very rewarding day. If Sandy should be at a loss for words during training, Diane is there ready to complete the sentence. This goes both ways. Sandy is very patient and thorough while Diane is knowledgeable and ready to help and if necessary, inject her dry humor which makes the day go quickly! Both ladies are professional and willing to go the extra mile. It is obvious that Diane and Sandy have worked together for a long time and complement each other's talents. For a thorough, safe and non-intimidating experience, we strongly recommend instruction at Shamrock Stables! * Bob S - Jan 20, 2013 What a great learning and training day! You both made the day as my best learning experience in over a decade. The course curriculum is intense but I truly learned because of your enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject matter. Diane you really know reloading hands on; from the ground up. I went to a close personal friend, who has been reloading for 40 years and spent a day at his bench. Well, I must say, the ten hours at your bench was incredible in learning even more than I expected. Sandy your patience with the book part of the course is amazing. will recommend this course to your instruction. Your passion for what you both do is an inspiration. Thank you again for an incredible day. Sincerely, Bob S *

Why reload your own ammunition ?

Plan and simple, it's a lot cheaper to reload than it is to buy factory loaded ammunition.
Here's a couple examples:

A 50 round box of 38 Special 158 Grain Lead Round Nose Factory Loaded Bullets costs around $20.00 depending on what brand you buy and where you buy it. I just reloaded 50 rounds of 38 special 158 Grain Lead Round Nose Bullets and it cost me a total of $5.92

A 50 round box of 45 ACP 230 Grain Lead Round Nose Factory Loaded Bullets costs around $22.00 depending on what brand you buy and where you buy it. I just reloaded 50 rounds of 45 ACP 230 Grain Lead Round Nose Bullets and it cost me a total of $8.49
