We do it to the glory of God, we do it with excellence, and we never turn away someone who can’t pay. We're John and Sue Burton, a husband-and-wife team passionate about empowering everyday people—especially newer shooters and women—with the skills and confidence for safe, effective self-defense. As co-owners, we specialize in beginner-friendly fi****ms training, red dot optics, drawing from holst
ers, and women's self-defense programs. With decades of combined experience in fi****ms and hand-to-hand combat, we're both certified as Professional Pistolcraft Instructors by Rangemaster Fi****ms Training Services—the pinnacle of defensive pistol instruction from industry legend Tom Givens. We're also Rangemaster Master Instructors (John earned Top Gun honors), NRA Certified Pistol Instructors and Range Safety Officers, and hold advanced certs in Pistol Mounted Optics (PMO), Active Shooter Response, and more from top experts like Erick Gelhaus, Ed Monk, and Scott Jedlinski. Our backgrounds include black belts in Krav Maga (we taught from 2005-2015), training in boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai, plus extensive medical response courses like Real World Trauma and Tactical First Aid. We've trained under elite instructors at Tactical Defense Institute, Active Response Training, Go Ruck, and Rangemaster's TacCon events. At Best Day Training, we offer fun, supportive classes in classroom settings, live-fire ranges, and private sessions. Whether you're building basics or advancing your skills, we're here to make your "best day" on the range a reality. Join us for de-escalation tactics, non-lethal options, and real-world preparedness.
