"Thank you for the class earlier this week. As a firearms instructor for 20 years with my department, it's always nice to see a true professional at work.
You are great at what you do! I also appreciate the course you designed that incorporated off-hand shooting, which is hardly ever taught and which is so useful.
I look to using you each year for my requalification."
- Chris P., Federal Probation Officer, Retired, March 2024
