Briar Rabbit Shooting Sports, Zanesville, OH
"We do it to the glory of God, with excellence, and we never turn away someone who can't pay."

At Best Day Training, we believe that self-defense is a right — not a privilege reserved for those with money or prior experience. Whether you're a first-time shooter or someone looking to sharpen your skills, we meet you where you are.

John and Sue Burton bring over 30 years of combined expertise, elite professional certifications, and a genuine love for empowering everyday people. Our training is data-driven, reality-based, and always grounded in safety and sound judgment.

Meet John & Sue

For the worst day of your life.
