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.

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.

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.

Mr. Vandiver,
Just wanted to thank you again for teaching the First Steps
class Saturday. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a ton. It's going to drive me back to the range ASAP as it's fun
to finally feel like I have some control over whether I actually hit the target or not! I'm looking forward to the day
when I can use my firearms with full knowledge and confidence. Dave Fingerlos
