Was dreading having to do this I'm very easily annoyed. But Jake takes very good control of the classroom and keeps the attention seekers at bay which would normally ruin a class like this for me. Wish I wouldn't have waited so long now. Expearianced or not you will learn something and come out with a very clear cut knowledge of the laws in this state. He also does very well at the range with inexpeiranced people you will feel safe.-Jason Johnson - Posted Jan 20, 2024
Jake was awesome! He was very informative of information for our Concealed to carry class. I would definitely recommend this class to my peers. Keep up the fantastic work Jake!! -Zhana Cole - Posted Jan 08, 2024
The class was very educational . The teacher Was great more than helpful. He was ready to answer any question that I had. A real friendly guy with a lot of knowledge on fire arms and fire arm safety. I was extremely nervous going in to class. This teacher managed to ease that within the first 10 minutes. Now I’m confident in my ability’s to use and store firearms properly. I also feel like I have a better understanding of the laws for firearm safety.

This experience was very informative and efficiently taught. The class was small enough and Jake taught this course with so much passion and knowledge. I hadn't held a firearm in years but I felt comfortable afterwards. Jake really knows his stuff and kept us alert as well as laughing to keep us tuned in. I was feeling intimidated going into the course but that changed quickly. I would most certainly advise anyone to take this class, he's the best!

This class was very informative. There were several experiences shared that we can come across at any point in our lives. The outcomes of those experiences really put decision making into perspective. I appreciate hearing real stories instead of made up scenarios. Before this class I had never shot a firearm. After this class, I feel more comfortable shooting and actually look forward to going back to work on sites and accuracy.

I’m looking at the speed and accuracy class next! Highly recommend!

All the great reviews were right on the money. Jacob is easy to listen to and the class flew by. He also was thorough without going overboard. The classroom was a very nice conference room and he likes to keep the class small to give individual attention. I am looking at taking more classes with Jacob in the coming year.

Finished up my training yesterday. Mr Darr was very informative with his real life experiences and legal presidents allowing the class to leave informed if you want to pursue a concealed permit.
- Joel Herrmann - Dec 05, 2021
Excellent instructor, on time and friendly. Would recommend and will take my son also to do his training too.
- Johan Chalco - Dec 04, 2021
It was a great class. Very engaging and with real life experience examples from his law enforcement and personal past Wasn’t just a lecture on the laws and parts of a gun.
On the range, safety always came first. He would work with you until you were comfortable handling the weapon.
Professional all the way. Would highly recommend them.
- Melisa Jeffers - Dec 04, 2021
I’ve been a concealed carry holder for over 6 years and I thought I knew everything about gun safety until I took this class. The instructor took his time and explained things. He also gave additional help to individuals if they felt unsure of anything. I could go on and on about how great of an experience this was, but instead I’ll let you have the joy of experiencing it for yourself.
- Jonathan Reed - Oct 25, 2021
Highly recommend it, Jacob was an amazing instructor when it comes to firearms training he is your guy!
With the number of different companies offering concealed carry training, I believe that I made a wise decision to choose Triad Firearms Academy!
- Pristine Images - Oct 19, 2021
Instructor Jacob Darr is the best! I was a little uncomfortable taking conceal carry with no experience but he really took his time and made sure everyone felt comfortable handling a handgun before the end of class. The theory portion of class wasn't filled with PowerPoints or videos, he spoke about real life experiences and allowed many questions as needed. Take the class!!
- Candice Elyce - Oct 18, 2021
This class surpassed my expectations! I thought we would watch videos and power point presentations. I was wrong. Jacob's an amazing instructor. I stay engaged the entire day and I promise, it's hard to keep my attention. The material is state material but it was the experience and examples that I really appreciate and enjoyed. Also I liked the diversity of our class, it made the entire experience even better bc we all came from different perspectives. Jacob nailed it. Don't question if you should take it... Take the class and make sure it's with Jakob.
- Steve Long - Oct 18, 2021
Jake was very helpful and knowledgeable. He made the course interesting and fun. Best instructor!

- Charlene Overby - Jul 26, 2021
Very detailed PowerPoint on guns, ammunition, safety, as well as cleaning and maintenance on owning a gun. Both instructors were excellent in detail and paid extra attention to those who needed it. They made it fun and exciting! A lot of us there were first time shooters, but you would have never been able to tell. We all had great on target shots!! Triad Firearms Academy is a great place to learn and train. Thanks guys!
- Keisha Barrett - Jul 26, 2021
Excellent instruction. Gave a lot of individual feedback and felt a lot more comfortable handling a firearm.

My instructor Jake was excellent, he took the time to explain a lot of information that I feel helped me. Never shot a gun before and he and another guy at the shooting range help me understand about shooting and I did really good.
- Cheryl Ann Williams-Kennedy - Jun 23, 2021
Great Instruction and took the time to make sure everyone understood. Jake invested extra time with some of the less experienced shooters which was a nice touch. I would recommend 10 out of 10.
