Absolutely Excellent Trainers!

I am happy to take this opportunity to fully endorse Guy and Suzanne Masterson at Pureland Security for their professionalism and expertise in a recent BIT and Basic Pistol certification training. Guy and Suzanne are excellent trainers! They have a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to share - not only during the training but afterwards too! In my “day job”, I work with very vulnerable populations such as victims of domestic violence, child abuse and human trafficking. Guy and Suzanne recognize the importance of me being able to help those who are vulnerable with the opportunity to be empowered and confident in their abilities to safely own and use a firearm. I have heard from many women that they feel too overwhelmed to learn about firearms, safety and personal protection. It can also very intimidating for women to get involved in what has “traditionally” been a male dominated area of interest and sport. Suzanne and Guy have been very understanding, encouraging and supportive of my goals and efforts to provide training for both new comers and women. Since the training, I have received valuable feedback, assistance and advice. They are always very accommodating and helpful as I pester them with a billion questions! I look forward to having and maintaining a long term relationship as I embark on my training adventures! Thank you guys!!

Professionalism and Excellence in Firearms Training

Course: NRA BIT & Basics of Pistol Shooting ILTHaving spent time with the US Coast Guard in a maritime law enforcement unit, I've taken my fair share of firearms training by various quality instructors. I can say without hesitation that I was very impressed and pleased with the NRA Instructor Training provided by Guy and Suzanne Masterson from Pureland Security (NRA Training Division of Elephant Mountain Firearms Training). This is the kind of hard to come by quality-training aimed to grow individuals into their potential by providing them with the right instruction, tools, and resources.The communication with PS was excellent from start to finish. Guy and Suzanne were very attentive and responsive throughout the certification process, answering questions and providing follow-up via emails and over the phone. The classroom portion of the training was dynamic, well-timed, and the instructor candidates were encouraged to participate actively in a positive environment. The range activities were no exception to the well-structured course. The instructors promoted an environment of safety allowing you to remain focused and relaxed before, during, and after the qualification shooting. The one-on-one interaction with Guy during this phase was very valuable, as he provided the instructor candidates with feedback and advice to help troubleshoot and sharpen their shooting skills. The two days of training were long and intense, with plenty of information to digest, but well worth it. I highly recommend Pureland Security to anyone looking for high-quality firearms training in a good learning environment, offered by knowledgeable professionals committed to safety and to the culture of liberty.

Outstanding opportunity to enhance your firearms education and skills!

Hands down the best firearms training you can get! The classroom portion of the course is thought-provoking, and the range time is no-nonsense and on-point. I was thoroughly pleased with my experience with Elephant Mountain Firearm Training, and would not hesitate to recommend their course anytime; you'll enjoy their approach!

It takes years to amass the kind of knowledge Guy Masterson has to offer and it’s takes even more experience to be able to teach that knowledge in such a clear and concise way that the student understands. My experience with guy was more than what I expected; and within a few short hours I was able to gain the confidence I was lacking. Missed targets turned into tight shot groups, shaking hands turned into a steady flow… Chaos turned into calm. Sometimes, all you need is the right person with the right set of skills to train you. Thanks again Mr. Masterson, we’ll see you again out on the range.

Refuse to be a victim class

I took the Refuse to be a victim class, And am so glad I did. It was very informative. And free to take. I would like to see that it's advertised alot more so more people are aware of it. As I was not until my mom talked me into going with her.

Defensive Pistol Refresher- AWESOME

I took both of their classes and it was so worth it! I feel so much more comfortable handling pistols. The teachers went over the laws in detail which was very helpful. Going out to the range, they taught us how to defensively use our pistols as well as answering any questions we had. Love this company!
