References From Students

My husband and I enjoyed the class we took with Scott. Our class included students with different levels of experience so Scott took time to make sure each person was both comfortable with the skills, and learning something new. Scott is respectful, patient, thorough and articulate. We have recommended his class to several people.
Brandy Nagel

Mr. Vandiver not only possesses a great deal of subject knowledge and practical skills, he also understands how to impart complex subject matter to an audience with diverse backgrounds. His friendly personality further enhances his teaching effectiveness. I have recommended Mr. Vandiver’s classes to friends and family and look forward to learning more from him in the future.
Dr. Jan Osburg

He has conducted classes on subjects such as Close Quarters Handgun Tactics, AR-15 Tactics, SureFire Low-light Tactics, and Glock Pistol training, to name a few. Scott has always presented himself and the class material in a very professional manner. He is very knowledgeable in all of the subject matter that he teaches. He also has a way of coaching and giving advice in a tactful manner that is well received by the students.
Ben Autry, Autrey’s Armory

He takes great pride in teaching safe handling of firearms. He shows a true want and desire to share his knowledge and skills while giving instruction. His interaction is exemplified with students while showing great patience. Truly a “mentor” in every way.
Chief Doug Claycomb, USNavy

Scott demonstrated comprehensive knowledge of all firearms that were present and has an exceptional ability to teach proper use and handling.
