I have been looking for continued training opportunities and could not be more pleased than the training Leo provides. After a one on one lesson I decided to bring my wife with me on my next training session since it has been several years since she handled a firearm. After talking with Leo and after taking some time to reacclimate to basic pistol safety and handling, she was putting rounds down range with accuracy and confidence. We highly recommend Leo and will definitely return soon for more training.

My first time out at an outdoor range and there was never a disappointing moment! Montana was patient and thorough with his instructions and answered every question that was asked. He made everyone (regardless of skill level) ease into the training. I personally left feeling a lot more confident safely handling firearms and how to approach real-life situations. If you are looking for a professional who has honed their skills over the years and has a full understanding of their craft, I highly recommend reaching out to Montana!!

Went to the range today for the first time. With his astounding expertise and a calm demeanor, Montana was able to put me at ease so I was able to relax enough to focus on the instructions and the task of firing a gun. Because of his knowledge and professionalism, I was able to feel comfortable enough to focus and actually hit the target. It was a very successful training session and to my surprise, I actually enjoyed it. I definitely will be back. Looking forward to my next session.

I and my son recently took a course through Leo Damone. Owner Montana Hairston went above and beyond to ensure the entire experience from course registration to obtaining the course certificate was comfortable, safe, and efficient for us.
The Leo Damone store itself was very neat and clean and located in an easily accessible area just off I-95 in Spotsylvania. The outstanding classroom instruction coupled with the expert, hands-on training at an offsite location made the course educational and enjoyable at the same time, even for someone like me who had no prior interest or training.
It was clear that Montana has a deep passion for his work, and that was evident throughout the training as demonstrated by his accommodating personality, remarkable patience, professional knowledge, and keen ability to communicate with clarity and a genuine sense of purpose. I highly recommend Leo Damone and Montana Hairston for any training offered. Thank you again, Montana, for a job well done!
