James was extremely thorough while also being efficient with everybody's time. He made the process as easy and safe as can be!

This was a very informative class! I learned several new skills that I can put to use in real life and at the range! Highly recommend taking this for a new or experienced shooter! Thanks again!

Excellent,professional and friendly class with James Dowler NRA Certified Instructor. Thank you so much. Miro

James was incredible at instructing me through my first time using a firearm. His classes are informative and helped me to gain a deeper understanding of what it is to be safe with a firearm. The best concealed carry classes in Tampa , Saint petersburg , and Clearwater, Florida!

Had training with James. I was nervous, but he made me feel very comfortable. He explained everything Step-by-step And that was a big help to me. He's very knowledgeable and patient. I will definitely be taking more courses. I really enjoyed my experience.

I never shot a handgun (only rifles) before and I wanted to learn through an instructor. James is probably one of the best choices out here. He definitely gave me good directions to improve. He is really helpful, friendly and easy to talk to. Lastly he has a lot of experience, he has been shooting longer than I've been alive and I'm 31.

I did the beginners course and it was amazing. James makes sure he explains everything thoroughly while making sure you are following all the safety guidelines. He gives great tips for aiming and overall a very good experience. This was my first time ever shooting a gun or even touching one and he does a great job making you feel comfortable and confident.

I recently attended a concealed carry class with James Dowler, and I highly recommend him. James was an excellent instructor who thoroughly covered on safety, handling, and shooting techniques. He made the class, engaging and informative, ensuring that everyone understood the material. If you’re considering taking a concealed carry class, James Dollar is the instructor you want.

My son had a great time learning from this course. I will recommend to others.

Useful videos for study & prep. Very diligent during range time.

I signed up for Jame’s VIP master class and it has been a great experience learning with him. Even though I am an experienced shooter I know with James I can get to the next level and become even better. Every class so far has been challenging but always focused on the fundamentals of shooting. James is a great teacher and he is able to work with anyone no matter the level of experience.

I just completed the Florida Concealed Carry Masterclass with James Dowler. James is a seasoned professional trainer, his live feed back after each set helped me close a 43 year gap in my pistol handling and shotting skills. By the final set I was able to put 25 of 30 shots in the strike zone. This was the best training money I've ever spent. I highly recommend any and all training class James... More

As someone who recently acquired my concealed carry license due to frequent travel to less secure areas for work, finding the right training was crucial. After thorough research, I stumbled upon Survival Of The Fittest and James's concealed carry license class. Before even committing to a session, they provided invaluable resources like free videos on essential laws and gun safety, knowledge I believe everyone should possess. What initially drew me in was the affordability of the class at just $69, a steal compared to other options I explored. Upon signing up, James promptly reached out, demonstrating his dedication to his students' learning journey. We met at Reload gun range in Tarpon Springs, where James showcased his professionalism and expertise in firearm handling and use. His approach was thorough yet easily understandable, and every question I had was met with a knowledgeable response. James's personalized attention throughout the session further solidified my trust in him as an instructor. His commitment to ensuring each student grasped the fundamentals of firearm safety and proper usage was evident. If you're considering obtaining your concealed carry license or seeking tactical gun training, I wholeheartedly recommend James and Survival Of The Fittest. His expertise and dedication make him the perfect choice for the job. My experience with James and Survival Of The Fittest exceeded my expectations. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a skilled instructor and feel much more confident in my ability to handle a firearm responsibly.

The world is clearly getting more dangerous, so the time has never been better than now to learn how to own, carry and use a gun for self-defense purposes. I am so glad I took the Survival Fittest course. Less

This was my first experience handling and shooting a gun. James Dowler was a fantastic teacher. I was a nervous wreck, and he made me feel calm and comfortable. If you are looking for a gun safety instructor, I highly recommend James. You won't be disappointed!

James Dowler is the most professional, patient and friendly instructor in my life. If you want to find the best firearms instructor - James is your choice.

Best teacher. Everything is done in a very high quality and understandable way. I have never regretted my choice in favor of this course.

Amazing experience and everything was precise and thorough

The world is on the edge and there are no more excuses for not becoming an expert in firearms. James is a consummate professional at any skill level. Great communications and a great bedside manner as a teacher. I loved, learned and appreciated his tutorial and followup. Kudos!

This allows you to start, pause, stop, and go back and review with ease. The course content is detailed, yet understandable and won’t put you to sleep. Unless you’ve grown up on gun ranges around a family of gun owners, you should take this course. The in-person training with James was fantastic. He is very easygoing and extremely knowledgeable. He gave me his full attention and adjusted his training to my firearms experience … which was zero. His level of expertise made me feel comfortable and made the learning process much easier. While at the firing range, I talked with multiple range employees. Several made the comment to me that James was one of the best trainers at the range and an all-around good guy. This was a seal of approval from people who spend a lot of time around firearms and firearms instructors. You can’t get much better approval than that. As I stated at the beginning of this review, I highly recommend Survival of the Fittest to improve your skills and confidence in handling firearms. Less

I had zero experience with a weapon and he went through the steps slowly and made sure I was comfortable with everything the entire way through. Highly recommend

I will absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to be trained in firearms. The course is very informative. I learned how to handle firearms safely and will make it a habit to do so every time.

James was great! My boyfriend and I did the online concealed course and met James at the range for the live fire portion. He was so friendly, polite and answered all of our questions. His instruction was great and we are super happy with our choice to use the survival fittest course.

Quick, simple and straight forward. Thanks James

Just took my Concealed Carry training with James. He was super professional and knowledgable. The training was on point and fun. Definitely recommend him.

I got the course for beginners and concealed carry course. Online part was very good on the explaining all details and made the practice part very easy. Thanks to James and the team!

James is awesome! Looking forward to taking more classes with him.

I had never had any experience with firearms before and James made me feel super confident in a short amount of time. If you are at all hesitant, take the leap and learn from James!

I have nothing but positive comments from my experience with Survival Fittest Pistol Courses.

I am stoked to have come across James and his Survival Fittest Conceal Carry Course. The experience was both thorough and engaging. James exhibited an impressive depth of knowledge and was attentive to my questions. I am also most likely going to enroll in his beginners guide to firearms course in the future. Moreover, I wish to emphasize the importance of obtaining a conceal carry permit, even in light of Florida's recent changes. James adeptly highlighted the significance of comprehending firearm laws and the potential legal ramifications. Equally noteworthy is the concealed carry license's added benefit of enabling interstate travel, encompassing approximately 37 states that recognize Florida's licensing. In addition, if you ever get stopped by law enforcement in Florida with your firearm it's always a more streamline process to be able to show your conceal carry license to know your firearm was legally obtained with ease. For those with reservations, I recommend seeking James' expertise. Should any questions arise, do not hesitate to reach out to him directly. Less

I never believed I could earn so much profit in a short period.

I took the risk and invested my first $1500 but to my greatest surprise, it amount to $8000 within a week I was so happy that I made my second investment from the first withdrawal.

I took this course today! I learned so much and now feel confident in what I’m doing.

The courses are designed to match the student’s ability or lack thereof, with what’s needed to develop into a responsible, proficient weapon owner!

What a great experience from top to bottom.

I learned a lot from our time together. Thank you!

James made this process 100x easier than I thought it’d be. I was able to watch the course between work appointments in my car and when we met for the live fire he was informative, professional, and friendly. Will be coming back for continuous training and when the wife is ready for her CWP as well.

Even after the class, he stayed a whole extra hour helping me purchase my first gun, and answered any question I had. Mind you this was a Friday night when he could’ve easily left after the class to go home to his family. He truly understands everyone has a different reason for acquiring this license and accommodates to everyone’s situation. Will be signing up for all his training courses, not just for the training, but also because I enjoyed the time I spent with him. Less

Having the videos to watch meant I could do it on my own time, plus I have them to reference for future use! Less

James has a deep knowledge of not only firearms but the laws that encompass them. I would highly recommend him whether you’re new to firearms or want to improve your skills.

This is one of the best carry classes I've attended. The ease of enrollment and setting up the range time was great.

James was very professional and really loves what he does and it shows! He was very knowledgeable and showed us some great tips!! Highly recommended! A++

Great experience. We are all new to firearms and needed an instructor that could not only explain the laws, usage and safety but also help us feel comfortable in these uncharted waters. James was excellent.

James is absolutely amazing. Great instructor. Extremely detailed oriented and knowledgeable. And very patient. Highly recommend him.

Great instructor, walks you through steps and very patient. Definitely recommend him!

I had a great experience with James. He arrived early and we went over the online content. I took the coursework online which fit my schedule much better and I could take it at my own pace.

Highly recommend this class. Super easy and fast

Survival of the Fittest online CCW course is definitely the “way to go”. Ryan's online training is “to the point” and well organized for thorough understanding. NRA Certified Instructor James is extremely competent on the Live-Fire portion of the training. Thanks guys for everything! Ron R.

This was such a seamless process and a valuable learning experience. It’s super ideal to have the online training first for the fundamentals and the in person course was incredible - James was amazing and I would highly recommend this program to anyone!

Made everything very easy.

Class is very educational and the instructor is very knowledgeable and professional, highly recommended.

Upon meeting James I had called ahead because I’ve never done this type of procedure. James and I spoke on the phone for over an hour so he could explain to me very thoroughly what exactly was involved.

Not only is the online portion simple and educational, it’s also entertaining and well put together. Also, I was able to meet up with the NRA instructor (James Dowler) the same day for the live fire portion. James was super friendly and helpful in explaining the process. We met at a local range and he made the entire process comfortable and non-intimidating. James even offered to assist with filing paperwork with the State if needed. Again, this program is legit and super easy to work with. Don’t hesitate to sign up. Less

This course was definitely worth the money and I would highly recommend to a friend. James is a competent and thorough instructor. If you are second guessing whether or not to take his course I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

James is a phenomenal instructor and takes the time to really observe and provide actionable feedback to make you a better shooter. Highly recommend!!

It was a very good and smooth experience with James. I definitely recommend it for anyone looking to get their license.

Great experience. Very interactive video portion and a truly comfortable live fire certification. Would definitely recommend to anyone of any exp level

The online course was great! Kept my attention easily. It was fast and full of knowledge about firearm safety. The live fire part of the course was at a great range in Tarpon Springs, FL that was clean and professional and it was quick and easy to complete. The instructor was great as well!

I had a great experience with Survival Fittess Pistol Course , The online instructional & informational course was so easy to understand It was a 1.5hr from the comfort of your home. The live shoot at Reload was great . James made the time at the range very relaxed. James is a wealth of knowledge, I highly recommend Survival of the Fittess .

So easy it was amazing. My wife even decided to take the course it looked so simple. And everyone who can own a gun should be doing it!

The course was entertaining and informative. The live fire course was straightforward and the instructor was professional. The whole process from beginning to end was simple.

James was super informative. I recommend anyone who wants their permit to contact him for a quick and easy course
