Chris Mandigma

Chief Instructor | Tirsia Tactical

Myself and my son (12) recently had the opportunity to do the Canadian Firearms Safety course in a class setting of eight people. (The instructors) were an incredible wealth of knowledge, and did an outstanding job with the pre-teens, and the adults being keeners to make sure we protect the kids when handling guns.
Their love for the safety and proper handling of firearms was definitely communicated. We were engaged and thirsting for the knowledge which is incredible when you have three pre-teens, all with ADHD. To say these guys were patient would be an understatement. Thank you for making learning such a positive experience.
