Defensive Handgun Skills –
“The class far exceeded my expectations. So much, it sparked an interest in both of us in pursuing further safety and self-defense training. In particular, your instructional style of focusing on safety, fundamentals, and key behaviors instead of results helped us see & accept gun handling as a process. A process that, to us, is very relatable to archery. We handle new endeavors better when there is definable steps and controllable elements. Which is why we never liked golf. By knowing that results and therefore enjoyment will increase as you master the fundamentals through practice is exactly what inspires us to continue to learn. Needless to say our confidence level has jumped leaps and bounds. We feel much better about training and our upcoming hunts. We are truly grateful for a fantastic class and we will highly encourage anyone who is interested in self-defense, gun safety, or conceal carry to take a range class with you. A job well done! … Thank you so much for a great experience.” Matt & Maggie
“Tim, the training was very significant for the direction I want to continue… Trigger control was a breakthrough.” Don
“By far the most valuable thing I learned is what I signed up for, how to draw and re-holster. There’s so much that I didn’t know that I needed to know. How to draw from an open garment vs how to draw from a closed garment. Drawing was my goal. but I didn’t know what I didn’t know. There was so much more re: safety checks, clearing malfunctions, processes after firing defensive shots etc. ALL of it was valuable…. Yesterday I went to my local range and was holster qualified. Yesterday’s range session was one of the most valuable sessions I’ve ever had shooting. I felt more comfortable and confident than ever handling my gun. With the knowledge that I gained last week (in your class), I practiced drawing, shooting and re-holstering. I was aware of (trigger control) and the reset point of my gun. I have a better understanding of … finding my front sight. Your class changed the way I interact with my gun. Again, thanks for taking me out and teaching me. I completely understand that I’m not an expert however I am more knowledgeable and prepared than ever. Tim, if I speak to anyone about needing firearms education, I’ll send them to you.” Dennis
“Our goal of growing Kathy’s comfort level with firearms was accomplished. Her progression throughout the day was nearly a miracle. All thanks to you. You were amazing in how you handled it. Your constant positive reinforcement and gentle treatment were exactly what the situation called for. Without you, she may have never regained her confidence. And now???, she is asking for more classes and training. A testament to your skill and range as an instructor.” Matt
Concealed Carry –
“Tim, as anticipated, the course was great…so much to think about! So much responsibility! I thought it very comprehensive in educational material and you had such a generous display of guns and accessories. It’ll save trial and error. You’ve got me headed in the right direction. I was more naïve than I thought. Thank you so much… The experience will stay with me the rest of my life.” Bob
“… I feel like I learned a lot and was able to even share what I learned with my husband. Thank you again!” Lauren
“Thank you so much for hosting us on Saturday! We loved it! I appreciated being able to practice the stance and shooting positions. I also found the ‘aftermath’ conversation particularly interesting… The course was great and the environment was perfect. The class did not feel long though and was very easy to stay engaged.” Maggie
“Tim your info was all good… The class does have me thinking on many aspects.” George
“We thought the information regarding extra caution that CCW permit holders need to have was extremely valuable. Also, the Color Code of Awareness was important. Really liked the scenarios too. The Dry Practice was really valuable, we never thought of doing something like that. And letting us know how to run it effectively was imperative too… We were so interested in the information that you presented that Ron forgot to eat lunch! We found the class very informative and will recommend it to all our friends even if they aren’t going to get a permit. If you had just a personal safety class… they would get more than their time and money’s worth.” Wendy
“Tim, I thought the class was excellent! You do a great job! I learned a lot, want to continue my learning, and will definitely take you up on your offer to go to the range.” Don
