Appalachian Tactical Academy

I had enrolled in ATA's Pistol I and II during the month of October, 2017. These make the second and third class under Josh's leadership. I had been accustomed to his impeccable teaching methodology, breadth and depth of knowledge, and genuine interest in his students' learning since my first class with him in 2016. The classes were intense, challenging, and demanding physically and mentally. Matt and Dillon made a fine addition to ATA's instructor cadre. They were so kind, patient, and helpful. I look forward to returning to ATA for a Rifle I refresher in Spring 2018!!

I have taken Rifle 1 and Pistol 1 and would highly recommend anyone, beginner or experienced, to take the classes provided by Appalachian Tactical Academy. You will walk away with plenty of drills and tactics to add to your personal practice routine.

I have been involved in self defense and guns my whole life! I know the importance of training and education. I was so impressed with Josh's class, his knowledge, his ability to teach in a meaningful and practical way! If you want to know how to use a pistol for self defense and to defend your loved ones then stop thinking about it and sign up today for a class! I will be attending all of the ATA classes but first I will take the Pistol 1 class again because I feel it is that good and that important!
