I attended this course on Saturday. I was absolutely thrilled with the course and the two instructors. Both instructors are with the NJSP, and really know what they are doing. We went to Easton Fish and Game range, which I actually just joined last night because I was so impressed.

 

We were in a separate area from the rest of the range, in a small class of only 5 students. The instructors, Bill Fearon (NGG owner) and his lead instructor, also named Bill, were easy going, but still managed to keep a safe environment. They were easy to get along with, and extremely knowledgable.

 

I came home almost giddy, the day was so fun, it almost didn't feel like a training course. But the techniques and motions I was taught throughout the day really sank in. It was the first time I have ever used a sling, and by the end of the day it was as if I had been using them forever. We did plenty of transitions to pistol, shooting and moving, and some speed drills.

 

If you go on their Facebook page (No Games Gear) you can see a video of me (in the green polo shirt) doing a speed drill.

 

At the end of the course we filled out an evaluation form, which I always take seriously, and I really felt bad because all I wrote was "yes" "exceeded expectations" and "change nothing" because I would not change a thing about it.

 

I will absolutely be using them in the future, more than likely taking all the classes they have available. The courses are very reasonably priced, and provide instructors with real world experience, not a couple guys that took some NRA courses and "know it all." What really impressed me was their humbleness, I've had instructors from other companies that were never LEO, never military, that told you their way was the right way, even though they have never utilized "their way" in a real world situation. The first things Bill and Bill said were that they were teaching us their way, which is what works for them, and is not going to be someone else's right way. This mindset was what really impressed me, because I agree with that philosophy so much. The minute you think you know it all, and stop learning, is the minute the other guy has the upper hand.

 

Sorry for the long winded review, and for any errors, I'm typing this on my phone. Long story short, if you haven't heard of NGG, which I hadn't until recently, do yourself a favor and look them up. Best formal training I have had to date.

 

I took the handgun course with them, and they are excellent instructors. Bill has the right balance of serious/fun, and the skills to go with it.

Nice review. I had never heard of them. I'll have to watch for their course offerings.
