I learned everything I needed to kickstart myself in a great career anywhere I wanted to go in the country. If you’re interested in building, repairing or refinishing guns, I’d highly recommend the Master Gunsmithing Program®. Between top of the line instructors and the in-depth hands-on learning style, PGS was the perfect place for me to learn. Having graduated and obtained a job in the field, I’m proud to have attended PGS.

After getting out of the service, enrolling in PGS was simply a solid decision. The Master Gunsmithing Program® is packed full of skills and knowledge to be had by anyone wishing to hone their Gunsmithing abilities. The vast amount of bench time helped me solidify concepts and precesses learned in the classroom. I couldn’t be more pleased, and my Gunsmith business is thriving.
