I just recently moved to Virginia and decided to take advantage of my right to conceal carry in the state. I had rudimentary firearms training when I was 12 when I got my first NRA marksman patches with .22cal rifles. As an adult I didn't own another firearm until 2008, for obvious reasons, and I got the most basic training imaginable through the owner of the gun store. I found Howard's site through the NRA website when searching for the Basic Pistol training course to satisfy Virginia's application process. To be honest I thought I might look pretty foolish in front of a 22 year veteran Marine and competition shooter. Not so! Howard is very personable and passionate about his subject, and his enthusiasm is infectious, I have not been this excited about firearms since I was a kid. The classroom work is broad and engaging as you learn the history and workings of modern firearms with hands on training, the subject does not move too fast and Howard will answer any question you can think of without any hint of condescension, simply a great instructor. The hands on and laser training was exciting, safe, and confidence building. Once we got to the range, I felt completely at ease with all of the firearms and Howard's range coaching produces results! Even after the course Howard followed up through email with observations, pictures from the range and even more information on the pistols I was interested in. I can not think of a way to recommend The Gun Whisperer more highly than to mention that my wife is signing up for the course as well. Thanks for the knowledge and the Cafe Bustelo! Graham

Class with informational, great variety of weapons to work with, and hands-on. Extremely reasonable price that includes all the above with range and some coaching involved! Great instructor!

I attended the NRA Don't Be a Victim course taught by Howard Chip Hall. Truly enjoyed the course. He presented the NRA required information based on NRA's standards, likewise each of the participants were able to freely and openly express their experiences so that we could all learn from each other. Mr. Hall provided a pleasant environment which was casual but very informative. I highly enjoyed the class and will be taking more NRA courses down the road, preferably by Mr. Hall.

As a beginner with not much experience with guns this class provided the basics that I needed and that I believe every individual should know. The knowledge and professionalism of the instructor was outstanding. Better yet, for the cost; learning experience; and one-on-one attention this class provided an amazing value. I don't plan to own a gun, but now I feel comfortable enough to safely handle one.

Howard is great; passionate, knowledgeable and focused on his students' experience. With the small class size, he manages to balance the amount of "standardized" material required with one-on-one coaching and individual questions and concerns. I was very pleased with the course and couldn't have asked for more. I very much recommend him with no reservations.

I've taken an interest in skeet shooting and wanted to learn as much about the sport as I could. It was important to me to find an experienced instructor who could not only teach the dynamics, but also supervise and correct my form.. I found this and more in Lieutenant Colonel Howard Hall. His ability to break the instruction down to its' simplest levels for a novice was remarkable. Howard made certain I was comfortable in my actions and explained each step. The patience he demonstrated as an instructor boosts your desire to perform at your best. He discovered something I did not know about my shooting form (cross-dominance), and advised me how to correct for it. He also was as enthusiastic as I was when I hit my first clay pigeon. I would recommend this class to any one interested in skeet shooting. In fact, I would recommend it to experienced shooters as well.

The class was very interesting. I collected many tips useful for the security of my house and for myself.

My experience was very good. Instructor was great and very professional. Class environment was great and inspiring. I got tons of great ideas for my home and personal security. I do recommend this class to everybody! AAA+++
