My one on one session with Heather of Hartman Tactics today exceeded my expectations. She is a top-tier instructor-professional, down-to-earth and focused on solid hands-on training. I walked away with a wealth of information about self defense, gun safety and laws, along with a deep respect for proper handling, loading and firing. I look forward to learning more from her in the future.

I hosted a situational awareness class for my middle schooler and a few of her friends with Heather and it was fantastic!
She taught them practical skills to help them be more aware of their surroundings, recognize potential threats, trust their instincts, and feel more confident in knowing how to keep themselves safe. It was a 2hr class and by the end the kids were asking questions and super engaged which is rare for middle schoolers. It's a testament to Heather's awesome teaching style! I highly recommend Heather, she's professional and very easy to learn from!

Heather Hartman is an outstanding instructor, I give her my highest recommendation possible. If you're a woman in Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, or anywhere in the Sarasota–Manatee area looking for firearms training, start with Hartman Tactics.
Heather was wonderful before class even started. She patiently answered all of my questions so I knew exactly what to expect. Her women's handgun course is built around safety and real-life situations, and most importantly, it's taught from a woman's point of view. I really appreciated that she understands the differences women face, both out in the world and in handling a firearm.
She covered safe handling, grip, stance, aim, clearing the gun, handling misfires, and range safety, and she also covers everything you need to know for your Florida concealed carry permit.
My biggest piece of advice: don't buy your first gun before taking Heather's class and getting to practice with different guns. Let her help you choose one. The person behind the counter doesn't always know what fits your hand, your needs, or your experience level, and Heather will.
I walked in never having fired a handgun and left confident and capable. Heather is calm, encouraging, and clearly knows her craft. Whether you're a complete beginner, want a refresher because it's been a while, or would like one-on-one instruction, Heather is the only instructor I'd send my friends and clients to. Thank you, Heather!

Heather was patient, professional, and took the time to answer every question without making anyone feel rushed or uncomfortable.
What I appreciated most was the strong focus on safety while still making the class engaging and easy to follow. She explained everything in a way that made sense, offered helpful feedback during the hands-on portions, and made sure everyone felt confident before moving on.
Whether you're brand new to firearms or just looking to improve your skills, I highly recommend training with Heather.

Heather was an amazing instructor. My daughter and her cousin learned so much. The examples were very descriptive making it easy to imagine and understand and the way she explained things was amazing. We are so blessed to have had the opportunity to have one of the last classes she was teaching in the area. We flew from CA to visit family and took advantage to take the class with her. Money well spent. I wish she would go into all girl schools and teach this class to young females.

I honestly can't say enough good things about this class. I was so nervous about going into this Woman's Introduction to Handgun Course because I had zero experience with guns, and they honestly scared me. I almost talked myself out of taking the class because I didn't know what to expect.
Heather was an amazing instructor from the very beginning. She made me feel so comfortable, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. You can tell she really cares about teaching people the right way and making sure everyone feels safe and confident.
By the end of the class, I couldn't believe how much better I felt. I went from not wanting anything to do with a gun to feeling much more comfortable handling one and understanding how to do it safely. I still have a lot to learn, but this class completely changed my mindset and gave me the confidence to keep learning.
If you're on the fence because you're nervous or have no experience like I did, I really recommend taking her class. I'm so glad I did, and I'm really grateful to have learned from someone who was so patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging.

I am a SAHM and took this gun safety course with Heather and it was extremely helpful. I feel more comfortable using a gun to defend myself if something bad were to happen. Heather explained everything about gun safety and how to use a gun. I definitely recommend her and this course!
