Excellent class! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to advance their knowledge, comfort and skill level with handguns. The course objectives were clear, and each was met with thorough instruction. Rebecca and Dan are both extremely knowledgeable and presented the material in an efficient and easy to understand manner.

Great class. I have taken classes similar to this one many times; however, Dan was able to not only give clear and effective instruction, but he was able to teach me in a way where I learned new skills that I hadn’t in the numerous other classes I’d taken. I can’t recommend both this class AND Dan Gebers enough

Excellent class ! Kevin’s class went very in depth particularly with holster work and sight accuracy. Kevin incorporated his years of real life experiences, expertise, in both class room and range time to keep us on our toes then adds some humor in to keep the learning fun ! I left this class with much more confidence. Would recommend this course to anyone looking to improve on there handgun skills.

We really enjoyed the H1 class taught by Dan Gebers and can’t wait for H2 now! We first took First Shots and then H1 and I am feeling so much more confident handing, loading, cleaning and shooting now than I was before! The instructors are patient, funny and make it fun but at the same time assure your continued safety. I would highly recommend!!

I have only been consistently shooting for about 3 months when I bought my first pistol. This class was great fun! Dan was a fabulous instructor and we got to do a whole lot of fun new things. I can’t wait for H3!

Dan Gebers taught another great class in H2. This was a blast to take, and I learned a lot to help improve my craft. I feel like I’m ready for H3, and it was because of Dan’s guidance that it was so. I’ll definitely take another class with him at the helm.
Russ Goldstein –
Dan Gebers and Kevin Williams were professional, clear and communicated the overall content of S1. I am prepared to “take the next step. Thank you gentlemen.

I took this course in June of 2023. William the instructor has worked as a trainer professionally and it really shows. He took us through the next steps of pistol and holster proficiency with patience, and good humor, correcting little things which made a big difference. I can’t wait to get back on the range to practice more.

This review is a bit overdue. Anthony was my instructor. His expertise and experience were very apparent. By day’s end, I left the class with a larger skill-set than I could have imagined!

I took the H2 class with Anthony and I am glad I did! I learned alot and improved my skill with the guidance and advise that was provided. I left the class more educated and confident.
I definitely plan on continuing practice with White Birch!
Tony (verified owner) –
H2 with Anthony was nothing short of amazing. In a matter of six hours I watched my shooting improve dramatically while also gaining tools and knowledge to self-diagnose and self-correct my own bad habits. Highly recommended!
Mark Hastings (verified owner) –
I took the course this week with Anthony. His expertise with firearms was clearly evident. His instruction was in a friendly but firm manner. He would double and triple check my understanding of what he taught. I left WBA as a much better handgun shooter.
The facility is top notch. Had a great lunch at the cafe. The range is clean and well ventilated. Other area indoor ranges leave one tasting and smelling gun residue for hours. Thanks for a great day.

Ran this course with Anthony – he took the time to ensure I was getting as much as possible out of the class based on my prior skill level. I had never run from a holster before and this course was an awesome starting point and built a great deal of skills and confidence with the system. The additional benefit of recoil management and target transitions will make you a better shooter. Very highly recommend this course.

Fantastic class – using some of the drills we did in the class – made me a better shooter with my pistol! Lots of range time in this one.
I already signed up for H3 for 3/22!

H2 led by Anthony was excellent! I highly recommend this course to continue building your skills and confidence in a safe and very comfortable environment. Anthony is an outstanding instructor, no matter your level of experience or confidence. He provides personalized attention with an emphasis on safety and the fundamentals. The class flew by with every second packed with information, fun, and drills. It was an honor to be taught by the best! I left H2 with many new drills and techniques to continue practicing and further strengthening my skills prior to signing up for H3. Thank you, Anthony!

H2 was great! Dan made the class fun and laid back, while still providing a learning environment for everyone. I left a measurably improved shooter with the knowledge to continue to improve my shooting at the range. I’m looking forward to H3

Took H1 and H2 as a novice, the classes were awesome. The instructors have been great. Scott has more knowledge and expertise than you can believe and he’s got a great sense of humor to go with it. All the staff have been great. The courses are safe, interesting and most importantly to most of us fun. If you want to expand your knowledge and have a blast, consider taking on what WB has to offer. Learn from some of the most knowledgeable instructors in the industry. Totally worth the price for essentially a day of knowledge transfer and fun working on your skills.

This was my second course at White Birch. Scott did an excellent job.

Awesome class and instructors! Kevin and Anthony do a great job making you feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire course. They are able to help you one on one and always give the best guidance.
Jessica (verified owner) –
What an awesome class. Highly recommend for any level of knowledge. The instructors made me feel confident and comfortable with my limited skills/knowledge and always answered questions with great depth. Instructors had diverse backgrounds which provided great context and situational explanations to add even more value to the class overall.
Shelby Hughes –
Great Class!

Took this course with Scott K. on 19DEC. Perfect progression from H1. But, any course with Scott is awesome. He is a fantastic trainer with more experiential knowledge than any trainer I have worked with. Scott has the ability to understand and adapt to all learning styles and levels of experience.
As an experienced shooter, I am confident in my skills and experience, but H2 is a level of training that gives you both humility and desire to hone new skills. Make sure you have enough ammo. This is a shooting class, not a talking class! Pew Pew Pew
Thanks for looking into this for me,
-Rich

Great class. Scott was an excellent instructor and I learned so much about holstering practice and technique. A wealth of information.
Elizabeth Mayo (verified owner) –
Scott was simply awesome! Explained everything with detail. Tough us everything there was to know about gun safety. I learned so much! He definitely kept us engaged. Not a boring class by any means. I have currently looking to see why class I want to take next.
Steve DeSalvo (verified owner) –
What an outstanding instructor Scott is. He made the course so informative and personal while always keeping safety at the forefront of the class. This has been my second class with him and I hope to take more in the future. The knowledge he shares is second to none.
Pat Bernard –
Excellent class led by Meg. WB Armory does it first class with the highest standards – instruction, facility, logistics and safety. I learned a lot and am ready for H3!
Michael Cinquino (verified owner) –
This was my third class at White Birch. When I walked in the door I had very little confidence around holstering. When I left the class I felt confident holstering and, also, reloading. I loved that I got to walk out of class with a bunch of new drills I could repeat at the range and safely at home. The instructor maintained a laid back environment without ever compromising safety which seems the be an awesome norm at White Birch. I’m grateful I get to keep taking classes here and look forward to practicing my skills and moving towards more advance training.
Stephen Bettencourt (verified owner) –
The class was great. We had an overview and discussion of topics and then we hit the range. We spent the majority of the time on the range which is what I’m there for. The class was tailored to the needs of the individuals and not strictly to the curriculum which led to faster improvements.

I took H2 with Greg Brown and was amazed at how much I progressed in such little time. I went into the class looking to strengthen my fundamentals, recoil control and accuracy, but also left with a newfound desire to enhance holster skills!
Tim DePalo (verified owner) –
Took this course on Sunday with Greg. He did a great job covering the requirements, answering questions and getting us to the range to shoot. On the range he ensured a safe shooting environment and improvement opportunities. Great job and very pleased with my first course at White Birch.
