An absolutely incredible course with an exceptional delivery from one of the UKSF Chief instructors. Mark tailored my 2 day Bespoke Firearms Course for my specific needs giving me the knowledge, understanding on how to fully operate different weapon systems.
It it quite easy for me to say that I have learnt more from Mark in 2 days on the Bespoke Firearms Course than I did from my 4.5 Years of service with the British Army.
His training is methods and course conducts are at the highest level imaginable
Marks skill level speaks massive volumes with his 33 years of Military service in UK Special Forces you will NOT find better training elsewhere.
The value for money is fantastic and the skills you will learn will be with you for life.
I will definitely be going back to see Mark very soon in the near future for more training, I can't wait.
All I can say is thank you mark for an exceptional course and to anyone reading. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I would recommend this course to anyone looking to improve on their shooting skills, This is my 3rd time doing a firearms course with Shooting Solutions and I keep coming back not only due to the quality of training but 3 years in the maritime industry I have noticed that with an STS firearms certificate it is widely recognized by PMSC giving me a better chance of being accepted for contract work with various companies.

My husband and I had this day course together, primarily driven by being supporters of the SBSA.
We have previously had no firearms experience at all, but after just the day with Mark we had learnt a huge amount about both the Special Forces and their different firearms used for varying scenarios.
Mark was personable, hugely experienced, absolutely spot on with health & safety and ran premises both fit for purpose and comfortable. The showing of some films was also very informative as was his on screen presentations.
We enjoyed the practice shooting with the various weapons and became quite competitive with each other!
Overall the day was very interesting, informative, great fun and we thoroughly enjoyed spending a day with someone so absolutely on top of his subject..

This is my 3rd time with mark and it doesn't get much better !
A high level of instruction that you would be hard to find anywhere else in my opinion .
You send emails , texts and you'll get a rapid response from him and when you complete the course you'll get the same aftercare , very efficient .
Highly recommend !!
Thanks again .

Very good course. Good facilities with a wide range of weapons used and plenty of time and tuition on each weapon.
Mark runs the course in a relaxed but professional manner, his knowledge and experience is evident throughout.
Overall a very good refresher course, the day is well structured and enjoyable.

I had no real firearms experience prior to booking on this course. I've only ever fired a pistol at a range in Thailand and done some clay pigeon shooting. With this in mind Mark structured the course to suit me and my lack of experience.
Mark’s professionalism and knowledge was top notch. His friendly but firm attitude helped me to relax (a little bit) during all the strenuous drills. I’ve learnt so many new skills which I’m looking forward to putting into practise at my local shooting club, which I’ve recently joined.
This course will help with your safety principles, knowledge of different weapons, Marksmanship principles and confidence.
This is a demanding course that is both mentally and physically tough but it’s very rewarding. I will definitely be looking at booking on another course with Mark again in the future.

I was delighted with the progress made on this superb course. Five weapon systems in 2 days. Mark's universal approach to drills on a wide variety of different weapons makes for easy learning and developing confidence. Many thanks for your faultless professionalism Mark. Aiming to be considered for the ultimate SF firearms experience with Mark in due course.

Following a lot of research prior to signing up for a firearms 2 day competency course, I am very pleased that we made the right choice with the shooting training solutions team. Mark had extensive knowledge and experience with the handling and use of a firearms; as well as the ability to teach this to others. I would highly recommend this company for any firearm competency course.

Just another brilliant day in the class and on the range with Mark. This was my third session and I just can't rate him enough - undoubtedly the best firearms training you will get outside the military (probably inside too) .

Mark is professional but friendly, approachable and patient with a wealth of combat experience which is quite frankly humbling. His knowledge of firearms is extensive, as you would expect from someone with his service record. If you want the best, contact mark at shooting training solutions, he will ensure you come away from the course with the knowledge you require

Mark (Nobby) knowls runs an excellent course. He takes you through all the relevant weapon systems quickly and easily in a way that is simple to remember. you will gain confidence and improve your skills and; above all safe handling skills a great deal through the day. The live firing session is very good. it is not full bore but it does not matter, you are learning skills and safe handling it matters not how big the rounds you are firing are.
Having training from Nobby (Ex SF) is a great deal better than having instruction from a CivI Game/Competition shooter.
A good course and gets the job done to the highest standard.
It is not an attendance course Pass/Fail applies.
