Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity
“In 2006, when I was a summer law intern for the Federal Public Defenders in Richmond, I decided to take a firearms safety class because I knew nothing about guns, and I was afraid of them. (I do not like being afraid of anything.) I found Mr. Lucas on the Internet and set up an appointment. After that one class, I no longer had my fear of guns (having been taught by Mr. Lucas how to properly handle and use one), but I also became interested in target shooting. I am certain that my transformation into a disciplined target-shooter and eventual gun owner would not have happened if it were not for Mr. Lucas' competence and enthusiasm as an instructor.”

“Excellent instructor in the several NRA instructor courses I took under Mike. I would recommend any who handle firearms as a hobbyist or competitive shooter to take such courses. Additionally, his experience as a shooter himself adds to a well rounded and more versatile class.”

was with another company when working with you
“Michael is simply a phenomenal counselor and instructor. I met him through internet surfing and signing up for the necessary NRA Instructor courses he was offering in my area. The instruction was motivating, straight-forward, professional and covered every aspect of the process of becoming a professional instructor myself. I departed with more of the necessary confidence to continue as an instructor on my own than I expected. Michael is dedicated, focused, right on target and is one of the best in my book.”

was with another company when working with you
“I've known Michael for almost a decade, having first met him during a firearms safety course. I was so impressed with his knowledge and his way with kids that I hired him as my then 10 year olds shooting instructor (to be honest, he was teaching me as well). I subsequantly attended one his NRA instructor training courses and became an certified firearms instructor myself. I have since worked with Mike on numerous occassions, instructing adults and children, as well as running shooting competitions. He is the consummate professional; knowledgeable and personable, with the ability to get people excited about the shooting sports!”

“My first introduction to Michael was upon enrolling in a NRA Instructor Development Course that he was teaching. Michael's interpersonal communication skills, knowledge and attitude exemplifies the utmost in professional conduct. Since that original class, I have continued to train with Michael due to his personal virtues and gracious nature, often hosting a class just for me due to my current job requirements. I not only look at Michael as a mentor, but also as a good friend. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking to enhance their firearms awareness, safety and training.”

Please accept my apologies for the lateness of this “Thank You” for a job well done with the Basic Pistol and HFS Instructor courses. The content and the instructional methodology were first rate and I am grateful for your active engagement of the class in all aspects of the teaching process. I look forward to taking additional classes on your future trips to Central Florida. Hopefully the weather will be more typical of Florida on your next trip south.
