Testimonials

Bridgette Long

“Really would like to shout out this business, my instructor Chris was very professional, detailed and helpful. I took my FCC class with this company and I must say I’m a better shooter than I was before I entered. He gave me such good input and gave me very good advice on how to properly use my firearm. The class is a reasonable price and very affordable. Thank You HBT I’m more confident than I ever been carrying my firearm now.”

Amanda Schultz

“I absolutely loved taking my classes here! My first one with Christopher Harrington was the Concealed Carry License class. He was informative, got the class into some wonderful discussions & he had a great sense of humor! The class went by so fast because he made it fun. The second class was a couple weeks ago for the 3hr CCL renewal. I learned so much from Chris again. When we went to the range. He took extra time with me to get my aim just right. That was really cool of him to help me. I will always recommend HBT Security Group to everyone! They are straight up good people!”

Hands down this is place was better than the first one I went to, Chris our instructor was fantastic, very knowledgeable and answered all question. Will certainly recommend this place to family and friends…”
