MY APPROACH

Safe and effective gun handling means you can consistently hit your intended target when your life depends on it. My approach is to teach the fundamentals consistent with course requirments, but with a foundation that supports progessive learning toward "tactical" or real-world applications. My instruction is designed so that you can readily move from my "basic" instrution to more advanced training without unlearning bad or ineffective habits.
