Saftey First

THANK YOU for integrating a comprehensive \'intro to firearms\' and CHL class for us. Not only did you share highly valueable information (that could potentially save my life), you delivered it in a fashion that I understood and will stay with me forever. I especially appreciated the step by step teaching process. I will definitely recommend your classes to shooters of every level. Looking forward to the next class, Andi

Awesome class...

The class was great!! There was a lot of information to take in. Some of the section were hard to understand just from reading it, but When Chris Stockton broke it down, then you were able to get it. He made it so easy to follow him in the class. If a person didn\'t understand after he explained it then that person does not need a CHL & stay far away from a gun. The keys to passing his class are: Do MORE listening then talking about what you may know, Remember key points that he will give you, & last, when you are at the range. Keep your gun pointed at the target at all times. Even when you are reloading. And finger OFF the trigger when your not firing.

NRA Pistol Instructor Course March 10-11,2012

You can teach old dogs new tricks. Chris was an outstanding instructor! He made it so very easy to understand the best to teach people how to shoot . He taught me a whole new way to instruct people in the NRA way to handle , and shoot handguns properly . I highly recommend anyone that has an interest in teaching ,or increasing their own skills to take Chris\'s courses. I will definitely continue my education in other disciplines of instructing at Alamo Defense. Thanks Chris, Kevin Parker

NRA Pistol Instructor Course

Chris did a fantastic job. He\'s very thorough and very easy to listen to and learn from. He has a great knack for teaching people. I hope I do as well when I start teaching. I highly recommend this class!

Pistol Instructor

Chris was a fantastic instructor. He was dynamic and vibrant with the material presented and he kept the class on track for a successful completion. Very knowledgeable and extremely professional in dealings with students.

I thought this was a very informative class. I have and will continue to recommend it to friends and co-workers. I plan to return to take additional courses at Alamo Defense.

Pistol Instructor Class

I was extremely impressed with the Class and the Instructor, and the material covered in this class. I have already recommended it to several friends and Police Buddies. Chris is a great Instructor and gears the class to the individual(s) in the class. Chris well be the first place I go for all future instruction.

Chris Stockton was a great instructor. He made the class fun and answered all of the questions with ease. He cleared up all of the grey areas.

Instructor Class Comments AAA+++

I was very impressed with the course presented by Chris Stockton (Alamo Defense NRA Training Counselor). I am a retired Police Officr and have some instructor experience in firearms training. I learned a great deal in the class and highly recommend this class. Chris is a very patient teacher and gears the training to each person in the class. I would recommend any class that AlamoDefense offers. The course was well plan and the instructor kept it interesting. Time was devoted to each student to insure the information was learned. I have a little experience in firearms instruction with the Houston Police Department, but I learned a great deal in this class. I highly recommend this class/course. I have already recommended it to several Police officer friends!!!

OUTSTANDING TRAINING

I highly reccomend this class, as the instructor (Chris) was highly knowledgeable and proficient with his training. I would also reccomend doing the smaller class size/1on1 training, as you wil have lots of questions that would be better served/addressed in a more focused setting. Chris was extremely professional, courteous, and answered every question I had effectively,without reservation. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY reccomended.

Safety First

I have taken 2 classes with Chris (CHL and Handgun). In both classes, safety is paramount. In my latest class, Chris took the time to explain every aspect of the handgun. At the range, he was patient and thorough. I highly recommend Chris as the instructor of choice if you are contemplating CHL or any other class that he teaches. Being a teacher myself, as well as a retired military veteran, I can testify personally to his professionalism and vast storehouse of knowledge and handgun expertise.

Great Class

Chris did a great job. Very efficient and business like.Highly Reccommended

Great experience

The class was well structured and quite informative. I highly recommend Alamo Defense as they have very knowledgeable, great instructors.

Great Class!

Chris taught an excellent class. His teaching form allows the basic marksman to grasp the concept of his training. I will use Alamo Defense again in the near future for further training!

Highly recommend Alamo Defense

I really enjoyed this CHL class I attended in Feb. of 2011. Chris was very infomative, professional and knows his information on CHL licensing and other weapon and safety features. He makes the class enjoyable with his humor and knowledge. He takes the session at the range very seriously to insure the safety of all!!

New CHL Class

Chris was very professional and the class went by quickly. His section on the repercussions on using force was very informative. I highly recommend Chris Stockton for anyone or group needing CHL or NRA training. Thanks Chris!

Chris was excellent!! Great info on the repercussions of using deadly force. Class went by quickly and was very enjoyable. Chris also made sure we were kept safe at the range. Very highly recommended and will tell anyone interested that this is where to take their CHL course.

Well Done

Having gone through another States Concealed weapons permit (CWP) course. I can tell you that this course was hands down the better of the two. Job well done to Chris Stockton & Alamo Defense. I look forward to more firearms training in the future. Thank you

Class was great. I\'d definately recommend Chris as an instructor. Very knowledgable.

CHL CLASS

Thank you I learned a lot. Alamo Defense was prepared and organized. Appreciate Chris's respect for gun laws and the handling of guns. Already passed out his card to a co-worker who will be signing up for Alamo Defense's class. I wish I had more cards to pass out. I look forward to taking more classes in the future.

Outstanding Pistol Instructor Course

The course was well structured, informative and at times challenging. I have been involved in many corporate training events over the last 23 years and I can honestly say Chris Stockton is an outstaning trainer with extraordinary people skills. I would reccommend Alamo Defense, Chris Stockton and this course to anyone interested in becoming an NRA Instructor.

NRA PISTOL INSTRUCTOR CLASS

Chris, Is a great Instructor makes you feel at ease, comfortable & relaxed. I would personally take Chris\'s Class\'s again. I strongly recommend taking any of his NRA & CHL Class\'s. Thanks abunch for taking the time out of your weekend. I truly enjoyed the Class.

CHL Course

Chris makes the all day course enjoyable and really easy to follow along with while not making it a long boring day in the class room with an hour on the range. I was truly impressed at the range when he puts safety as his number one concern. I would recommend this class to seasoned gun handlers and to newcomers alike. Keep up the great work Chris and look forward to taking another class with you in the future.

Great NRA Basic Pistol Instructor Course

Chris did an outstanding job teaching the Basic Pistol Instructor course. After many years in the classroom, I have become aware of different problems with Instructors and Professors inability to teach and get the information out to their students. But Chris was great. He kept everything basic and general so that everyone in the class could follow along and understand. He also made the class fun. I am looking forward to taking more classes.

Great Course

Chris you gave an outstanding class and I look forward to taking courses from you in the future. Your teaching style is straight forward and I have not received that from many instructors at all. If something is not the way it is supposed to be then you point it out and the students has an oppotunity to adjust while learning from you.

Pistol Instructor Course

Chris Stockton\'s pistol instructor course was a unique experience. It was nothing like I imagined it might be. Chris made the two day course incredibly informative and fun. I thought there would be hours of lecture, but it was mostly experiencial role playing. This allowed me to feel like an instructor. The feedback from Chris after each excersize enabled me to see the areas that needed to be polished as a pistol instructor. I plan on taking other instructor courses from Chris, and would highly recomend his classes to others.

Chris is very knowledgable and an outstanding instructor

I have attended several firearms classes over the years from various sources. While Chris\'s class was very informative, I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and Chris\'s style of instruction made it easy to try new things and make mistakes on your own which, after correction, increased the overall learning experience. I highly recommend training at Alamo Defense and plan on attending more of Chris\'s classes in the future.

excellent class

I just attended the BIT and Pistol class conducted by Chris Stockton in Houston TX. Mr. Stockton did an excellent job and I was very impressed with his ability to instruct and knowledge of the topic. I would highly recommend this instructor and hope to be able to attend more of his classes.

Chris is a very good instructor and a asset to the nra

Thanks for a class that kept my interest under adverse circumstances beyond your control. As an Instructor with many years experience, I tend to see the smallest flaws in other instructors' abilities. That is what led me to my current position within my company. I am a Senior Instructor responsible for certifying other instructors in the semiconductor industry. I can normally pick out at least 5 opportunities for improvement in a 20 minute presentation. Your teaching skills display experience beyond your years. If I turned this in on an instructor at Applied Materials after two days of observation, my management would expect at least a full page of suggestions. The fact that I can come up with only two for you speaks volumes. 1) You kept the topics interesting. You were animated, but not overly animated. 2) Your voice inflection kept me awake when I had no sleep the night before. 3) You continually asked questions to gauge the students' understanding. 4) Your smooth presentation shows that you were highly prepared both days.

I would absolutely recommend this class and more specifically Chris to anyone! He is a fantastic instructor who makes any class he teaches interesting and fun. I know that I will be using him for all of the future NRA courses that I will be taking! He is also a fantastic resource for anything related to firearms and shooting. Thanks again Chris for the great experience!

Chris held a very informative and fluid workshop on not only the \"how\'s and why\'s\" of the NRA, but also how to make it all work together. His approach to the teaching process not only set you up for success as an instructor, he also set your future students up for success by giving you the tools needed to provide top notch instruction. He covered alot of information over the 2-day course, but I am confident that my wife and I will be able to go far in this business with this course as our keystone

Chris is an awesome instructor, very informative class, I would and will recommend to friends and family!

It was a good class - and I would recommend it to a friend. It was informative and did not seem boring at all. The class was very entertaining and time flew by, great use of power point and videos make understanding much easier!

Being In the military and a former NJ Police Officer I found the class very informative. Things are alot less strict here(texas) whereas in NJ you are bound by excessive laws. The class was very well laid out and had much useful information, for a concealed carry holder.

High class training with comprehensive coverage of the NRA course material delivered in a professional and easy going manner. All of the students learned a great deal and were given all the tools necessary to run their own courses. I would not hesitate to recommend Alamo Defense to family and friends. Indeed, I already have!
